Duel Personalities

This M-G-M comedy short, Duel Personalities, is the one hundred seventy-eighth entry in the "Our Gang" series and the ninetieth talkie. The gang are on their way to see a performance of a hypnotist but are waiting for Alfalfa who's once again brushed off by Darla for Butch. As they watch the show, Alf volunteers to be tested by the hypnotist but before Alf can be snapped back to normal, he confronts Butch and Darla and challenges his rival to a duel. Darla, naturally, is thrilled...Plenty more happens but I'll just now say this was perhaps the most funny of the M-G-M entries which will soon be in very short supply in laughs subsequently. This may also be the peak of the entertainment value of seeing Darla's rivals trying to one-up each other. Don't want to mention any more so on that note, Duel Personalities is well worth a look. P.S. This was the first time the name of the fictional town of Greenpoint was mentioned as Our Gang's residential place.
