The very best our gang short featuring Mary is "Mary, Queen of Tots". It's more of a strange fantasy story than the normal our gang short. It's from 1925, I think. I bought it on video several years ago. It should still be available and is worth checking out for the impressive special effects and suprisingly good acting by her.
Mary was absolutely one of the most beautiful child in the world. Her sister is no less beautiful. It is sad that she had no children to pass her legacy onto us. Now only a few people even know that Mary & Mildred ever existed.
I remember the short where Mary is the teacher and Mickey is the truant office. But I had no idea that the two really did play opposite each other as childre in the silent ones.
They'd grown into adults and still did a great job together.
After the Our Gang stint she and Mickey starred in another, less successful Hal Roach series called The Boyfriends where they were cast as typical teenagers. Check 'em out! You'd be surprised how much of a hottie she was then!!!
In a world where everyone (middle-age adults included) now act as if the universe began the day they were born, it's nice to see those few rare people paying tribute to what went on before. Thanks! :)
Truer words have never been spoken. These days we have pseudo-celebrities who are famous for absolutely no reason (::cough:: Paris Hilton). This is a refreshing change of pace! And Gerkinstock is right about "Mary, Queen Of Tots". The SFX were done very well considering it was made over 80 years ago. And Mary was absolutely adorable. :-)
Wow, thanks so much for this wonderful video! I haven't seen much of the silent Our Gang shorts, but have been familiar with Mary Kornman from the "Boy Friends" shorts from 1930-32 also with Mickey Daniels. This is spurring me to search or some of those silents.
Awesome!! Many of the photos are from my collection. The girl in the photo at 1:27 is not Mary Kornman. It is Anna Mae Bilson, in a scene from the very first Our Gang short.
Mary was so much more attractive as a brunette. Dickie Moor sure had a crush on her.

Most would only know her as teacher, Miss Kornman. What a beauty as a child and an adult.

I love this triubute. It was so amazing to see her all grown up play the school teacher in Fish Hookey. What a sweet girl she was.

So adorable. Absolutely numbing. I wonder why she passed away so young and why she didn't do more films..

From a cute child, blossoming into a beautiful woman. Mary was truly the most beautiful of the Our Gang/Little Rascals girls!

Her best short was "Mary, Queen of Tots," which is available on DVD. She replaced Peggy Cartwright as the leading lady of "Our Gang."
