“Kick-off” time —
Great moment from“Blockheads” (1938) – with Tommy “Butch” Bond, who was usually the bully in “Our Gang” but as it turns out; he was a very nice guy. I got to meet him along with his wife & son at the Las Vegas Sons of The Desert convention back in 1992. Well, he & Alfalfa went on to do a series of “B” movies called the “Gas House kids”. Those were done in 1946-47 & I had gotten a lobby card from “The Gas House Kids in Hollywood” that showed him & Alfalfa with the others in a jalopy… I was going to ask him to sign it, but when I showed it to him he was visibly moved by it… it was obviously a happy memory for him.. He asked if he could show it to his wife & son… I said; “You know– this belongs in your home; Please have it..” He was very moved & teary-eye’d .. He saw to it I got a signed still from this very scene he did with Laurel & Hardy.. There were probably a ton of those he signed that week, but still.. that was special one to me….
