Allen C. Hoskins As "Farina" Photo (1927)

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 <i>Our Gang</i> kid), Farina became arguably the first black child star. Allen Hoskins' last contract with the Hal Roach Studio called for $250 a week, more than any other kid was earning at that time. Original press clipping. NRMT. 9x7". <br><p style="font-family:Arial; font-size:8pt; font-weight:normal; color:Black;"><strong>This lot is from the legendary San Francisco Examiner Archive (SFXArchive)</strong>.<br>This is one largest collections ever of historic vintage photos spanning the entire 20th century.
