Date Sold 7/7/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 4 1951 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (11x14; LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The First Round-up, the 1934 Gus Meins Our Gang juvenile comedy short starring Spanky MacFarland, Matthew 'Stymie' Beard, Scotty Beckett (best remembered for playing the young Al Jolson in "The Jolson Story"), Bubbles Trin, Willie Mae Taylor (as Buckwheat), and Billie 'Buckwheat' Thomas (not as Buckwheat!). Note that Our Gang fans are familiar with Billie Thomas playing Buckwheat, but actually, the character of Buckwheat was first played by Carlena Beard (Stymie's sister), in two early shorts, in 1932 and 1934. Then the character was played by another girl, Willie Mae Taylor, starting in this movie, and continuing for two more. In "Mama's Little Pirate", Billie Thomas took over the role of Buckwheat, having previously appeared in just two Our Gang shorts, this one, where he was billed as "kid emptying canteens" and in the earlier "For Pete's Sake", where he was billed as "kid"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that only 4 lobby cards were produced for this movie, and this is the complete set. It was quite common for studios to only make sets of four for short subjects or low budget movies (or re-releases of big budget movies), because it allowed them to print the sets at half the cost, and on shorts and low budget movies, they tried to save money any way they could (especially since it is likely few theaters even bothered to order lobby cards for these titles, since they were likely shown in addition to a better movie). Condition: fine. The lobby cards are in very nice condition and they have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they have never had any restoration of any kind!
