One thing about the old silent Our Gang comedies I appreciate is that the kids are often BAD!! In later sound films, the kids are generally much nicer and well behaved...which is why I prefer the silents! In "Commencement Day", it's the kids' final day of school and they are to put on a program for visiting guests. But the kids get in fights, forget the thing they are supposed to be reciting, have pepper dropped into a sax and a frog down Mickey's back. By the end, it's degenerated into an all out melee and the special day is an awful mess!
It's fun to watch others' kids misbehave...which is why I like this one very much...and man do they misbehave!!
