This M-G-M musical comedy short, Captain Spanky's Show Boat, is the one hundred eighty-fourth entry in the "Our Gang" series and the ninety-sixth talkie. Butch is upset that Spanky won't let him perform and sing in the show so he buys a ticket and decides to sabotage Alfalfa's song. Before that happens, Darla does a soft show routine with a couple of boys along with some banter and then a "meller drammer" called "Out in the Snow You Go" gets performed by the gang. I liked Darla's number and some of the play, but by the time of Alf's song, I was very irritated that he was allowed to go on without interruption since his usual off-key warbling was no longer funny to me. At least the way it was presented here. So at the very least, Captain Spanky's Show Boat is worth a look for any Our Gang completists out there.
