Silent short
School Begins
Synopsis
One of a handful of currently unavailable Hal Roach/MGM āOur Gangā silent films, School Begins was a series of gags built around the unenviable ritual of returning to school during the first week of September. School begins and some gang members are forging notes from their mother wanting out. Then too-young Wheezer parades by the school with escaped circus seals following him, causing a disturbance.
