-Comment: At least 2 boys in bibs including 10 yo chubby boy Albert Schaefer (on left). (One of the) first in the series by J.R. Bray Studios starring the McDougall (Alley) Kids. Similar like the Our Gang series. Also starring Leon Holmes (Buster's Mix Up, rating 5) but not in bibs here (background on right).
The movie, copyright renewed in 1953 or 1954 should be in the Public Domain now (at least in the US). But I haven't found a clip. Not even the length is known. But it's a two-reeler. So ~20 minutes. Most of the other movies are also rare, but not all have bibs scenes. Some few films (next to some other Our Gang and Mickey McGuire films are on the 2007 DVD: Kid Gangs And Juvenile Stars (by Looser Than Loose Masthead). (But in "home movie print", so probably very poor 8mm quality but obviously defunct and OOP anyway.
There's a girl in bibs (Nanette Fabray) in Fowl Play (1928), 2 boys incl. chubby Tommy Hicks in Big Pie Raid (1927) coming soon and at least 2 other movies and also at least 2 men in bibs. Some few pics are on IMDb, obviously from a collector.
Rating ~4 for now.
