real name: Richard Daniels, Jr.
nickname: Mickey
born Oct. 11, 1914, in Rock Springs, WY

1921

Mickey's first brush with the film industry came in the latter half of this year when he began a short association with Vitagraph.

1922

Mickey was recommended to Hal Roach by still photographer Gene Kornman. He started off as an occasional day worker while still under contract with Vitagraph.
Mickey's performance in "My Wild Irish Rose" was twice praised in Charles Larkin's review in the Motion Picture News of June 10th. Early in the review he writes that the film "introduces to us Richard (Mickey) Daniels, described as 'the freckledest faced boy in the world.' We predict for him a brilliant future in screendom if he is given more roles like that of Barry...." Later in the review, he writes: "There's one thing...that stands out and which your patrons will talk about - that is that checker board faced youngster, 'Mickey' Daniels. If you book this one play up this lad. He's a find." In a two-page ad in the Sep. 9th issue of Motion Picture News, Mickey was the only cast member whose photo was used.
Mickey's first long-term contract with Roach took effect on May 21st, with Mickey making $50 a week.
A more lucrative 2-year deal was signed on Sep. 25th, effective September 25, 1922, to September 25, 1923, with an option for renewal, after which Mickey made $75 a week. Reports that he made $37.50 for the first six months are not borne out by the payroll ledger.
In December, Mickey took part in the The Follies of Culver City, playing a flower girl.

On February 28th of this year, Mickey signed into a new five-year contract, with an increase in salary to $200 a week.
The April 7th issue of Motion Picture News reported the following: "Genuine screen talent plus championship in the freckles class has won a five-year Hal Roach contract for seven-year-old Mickey Daniels. Mickey is best and most widely known as one of the stars in the two-reel Our Gang Comedies distributed by Pathe. He also comes out strong with Harold Lloyd in 'Dr. Jack' - the 'sick' schoolboy who recovers instantly when the shrewd young doctor hero remarks that 'the school house has burned down.'"
On August 25th, Mickey's salary was increased again to $250 a week.

1924

During the August studio closure during this year, Mickey travelled with his parents to Rock Springs, WY, where he was born. On his way back to Los Angeles, he stayed for three days in Ogden, UT, at the behest of the manager of the Egypian Theatre there. He arrived on Aug. 24th, and performed at the theater that night and again on the 25th and 26th. He visited an industrial school on the 25th, and judged a freckle contest at the Egyptian on the 26th. He departed the city on the 27th. His act chiefly consisted of him talking about his experiences making the Our Gang films, which were also shown as part of these performances.

1926

Mickey's involvement with Our Gang ended (at least for a few years) in April of this year.
Debuting this year, and continuing into 1927, was an Our Gang comic strip called La Pandilla, which included Mickey among the characters.
With Mary Kornman's exit from the series in June, it was decided that Mickey would be teamed with her in a vaudeville act. The act debuted by August 15th, a date on which they performed in Los Angeles with the Our Gang cast in attendance. Blanche Merrill wrote a skit for the two of them called A Day Off. A short film preceded their actual stage performance, with the rest of the act consisting of the two kids imitating popular film stars. They toured the Orpheum circuit into the following year.

1927

Mary Kornman became ill in February of this year, which led to the cancellation of several of the act's billings. After briefly returning to the road, she left the act for good, replaced within a few weeks by Peggy Eames, whose last appearance in the Our Gang series had been in February.
The Vaudeville News and New York Star of Apr. 23rd reported the arrival in New York of Mickey and Peggy from California.
On May 18th, Mickey and Peggy visited President Coolidge at the White House.
The News Journal (Wilmington) of December 15th referred to their comedy skit as The Day Off.

1928

As of early January of this year, Mickey and Peggy were still performing, as evidenced by their January 4th and 5th Mansfield, OH, engagement. It seems, though, that the act came to an end sometime during this year. Peggy was soloing in vaudeville by January 25, 1929, and for the week ending December 22, 1928, Mickey was back at the Roach studio for a week, working in "Thundering Toupees."

1929

On August 10th, Mickey attended a Saturday matinee at the Fox Dome Theater in Los Angeles, which hosted a get-together of the Mickey Mouse Club, which in those days was the name given to the cartoon character's fan club. As the Venice Evening Vanguard reported two days later: "In addition to an especially selected screen program, including an 'Our Gang' comedy, who should walk out onto the stage but Mickey Daniels, whose freckled face has appeared in these clever Hal Roach comedies until it is known the world over. Mickey sang, danced, clowned and made a neat little talk about the Mickey Mouse club, and needless to say got a big hand."

Mickey Daniels' payroll history

The following is a list of Mickey's history at the Roach studio, with the amounts he was making from week to week. The dates given are Saturdays, the last day of each week at the studio. The only exceptions would be Saturdays that were also holidays, in which case the Friday date is used for those weeks. His name in the ledgers is always given as Richard Daniels.

Special note: Production A9 (The Champeen!), Production A38 (Ask Grandma), and Production K3 (One Wild Ride) are missing from this list. It appears that in each case, they started off as the previous production, which then got divided into two films.

Jan. 21, 1922 - 7.50 charged to prod. A1 (Our Gang)
As a day player, Mickey worked for one day during this week.
Feb. 4, 1922 - 7.50 charged to prod. A1
Two weeks later, Mickey worked a second day on this production.

It would be nearly 4 months before Mickey was put under long-term contract, during which he appeared in Young Sherlocks. Prior to the fall of 1922, the ledgers are sketchy when it comes to day players, and his name doesn't come up during the making of this film. It's also conceivable that he worked on Our Gang for more than the two days listed above. This makes me wonder if perhaps the studio was in the habit of paying cash to certain people in its early days. The checks earned by Mickey were made payable to Richard Daniels, which could mean either father or son, but half of the amount was meant for the father.

Note: this may be a clerical error and meant to say K9 (or perhaps I copied it incorrectly). The fact that Mickey was making vacation pay implies that he wasn't working during this week, anyway.

Mickey went off to work in vaudeville after departing the Our Gang series, but he did return for one week at the Roach studio two and a half years after he left.

Dec. 22, 1928 - 125.00 charged to prod. S20 (Thundering Toupees)

Mickey returned again to the Roach studio in 1930 to make the Boy Friends series and stayed for two years I didn't copy the payroll info for any of the non-Our Gang players, but there is a note I wrote for the week ending June 20, 1931, that states that Mickey was making $100 a week during this period.

Oct. 22, 1932 - 120.00 charged to prod. G13 (Fish Hooky)
Mickey was a day player on this film, making $20 a day for the entire week.

Once again we have another gap in the records, until 1936.

Dec. 12, 1936 - 106.25 charged to prod. K5 (Reunion In Rhythm)
Mickey was again a day player, earning $50 a day for two days on Dec. 9th and 10th. He also received an overtime check on the 10th.
