Review of Teacher's Beau

7/10
Teacher's Beau was another funny Our Gang comedy

Warning: Spoilers
This Hal Roach comedy short, Teacher's Beau, is the one hundred thirty-sixth in the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series and the forty-eighth talkie. After The Cabin Kids-in a reprise from previous short Beginner's Luck-perform "Old McDonald Had a Farm", Miss Jones announces she's being "replaced" by Mrs. Wilson. The reason one of the words I've written is in quotes is because she's going to be the missus but that's not revealed until near the end of the short. So Spanky, Alfalfa, and the gang try to sabotage their upcoming nuptials any way they can including filling the food at the party with lots of spices! This was another funny Our Gang short with most of the laughs coming from Spanky and Alfalfa, in only his second appearance along with his brother Harold. This was also Stymie's last regular appearance in the series though he'd later appear in a reunion short later on. He only has one line here. Also worth noting, Dorothy Dandridge makes her film debut here though I didn't recognize her. So on that note, I recommend Teacher's Beau.
