This Hal Roach comedy short, Roamin' Holiday, is the one hundred fifty-sixth entry in the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series and the sixty-eighth talkie. Not wanting to spend another minute caring for their infant brothers, Spanky and Alfalfa-along with Porky and Buckwheat-decide to run from home and go to Jenksville where there's a store they encounter to try to get some treats. First, Spank and Alf try with their dog but they only get dog biscuits. When Pork and Bucky find a dog, they actually get what they want since the pet belongs to the store owners! Then they find out where they came from...This was another funny OG short with plenty of funny stuff to recommend it. One of the store owners was played by May Wallace, a Roach veteran who appeared in several films with OG, Harold Lloyd, and Laurel & Hardy. This was her last appearance in the series. Her last film was Zenobia, also produced by the studio. She died on December 11, 1938. So on that note, I recommend Roamin' Holiday.
