update for "Crazy House" (no. 76)

I've added some music information to this page. However, I've only been able to identify one of the pieces heard in the film. I've also added an alternate first name for Ben Parsons.

update for "Barnum & Ringling, Inc." (no. 74)

I just noticed an error in the music listing for this film involving 'piece 074e.' This has been corrected.

update for "Mike Fright" (no. 130)

I've added information about a short film called "Show Kids," which features the same group of little girls performing "My Little Grass Shack."

update for "Our Gang Follies Of 1936" (no. 141)

I've added additional information for the musical piece "Narcissus."

update for "Spanky" (no. 113)

A member of thelittlerascals.net message forum named "wheeepwooow" noticed the use of Major Mite as a stand-in for Spanky in this short.

update for "Came The Brawn" (no. 166)

I've corrected the spelling of Ernie Weckbaugh's name, having previously spelled it "Wechbaugh." My thanks to Kay Becker for this correction. I've also decided to refer to him as Ernie, rather than Ernest, since he uses this nickname, and presumably did so as a child.

update for "Surprised Parties" (no. 207)

There are two versions of the end credit for this film, as detailed on the page. My thanks to Joe McCaig for pointing this out.

update for Roach and Seawright filmographies

I've added five new titles which utilized archival footage from "One Million B.C." My thanks to Tony Foy for this information.

update for "Teacher's Beau" (no. 136)

I've deleted Jacqueline Cagney Miller, Lon Poff and Barbara Goodrich from this cast listing since they're not in the payroll ledgers. I've also verified that Dorian Johnston, Jackie White and Gene Reynolds are not listed in the payroll ledgers for this film.

update for "Anniversary Trouble" (no. 134)

Another member of thelittlerascals.net, this one called "bigshotjones," mentioned the possibility that Buckwheat is repeating a phrase from the song "Old Black Joe" in this film. It seems conceivable enough to me that I've added the song to the webpage.

update for "Fish Hooky" (no. 120)

I've added a note about the nickname "Bumpy" given to Spanky on the back of a press photo for this film.
