ALLEN FARINA HOSKINS Black Child Actor 1924 OUR GANG High Society Silent Film

Description: DETAILS: Original vintage photograph of Allen Farina Hoskins from Hal Roach's Our Gang silent short film High Society. Circa 1924. During his time in the gang, Farina became both the series' anchor and its most popular character. While he was not the first black child actor (or even the first black Our Gang kid), Farina became arguably the first black child star. His contract with Hal Roach Studio called for $250 a week, more than any other child actor was earning at that time. He was given a lead role in most of Our Gang's silent episodes. A heavy burden on any child actor let alone an African American one during the pre-code movie era. Measures approx. 9 1/2" x 7" inches.
