Alfalfa's "Our Gang" Debut In "Beginner's Luck" (1935) (video)

 


Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer wasn't a member of the gang yet...

...when he and his brother Harold first appeared in this 1935 short.

Here, they're competing in a kids' talent show as "Tom and Jerry, The Arizona Nightingales."

Even in his debut, Alfalfa's dubious singing skills are already on display...

...and it's easy to see why producer Hal Roach made him a regular member of Our Gang.


I neither own nor claim any rights to this material.  Just having some fun with it.  Thanks for watching!
