O'Shaughnessy's Boy, the 1935 Richard Boleslawski father-son family relationship circus performer melodrama ("The Grandest Pals on Earth Reunited..."; "Laugh, cry, thrill! Their most beloved story!"; an attempt to recreate the success of "The Champ", with the same stars, and a very similar plot; here, Beery is a lion tamer in a circus who is married to a trapeze artist; after they have a son, his wife runs off, and he is so despondent that he is mauled by a lion and loses an arm; for the rest of the movie, Beery must pretend to be one-armed, and he searches for his lost son, eventually finding him in a military academy where he was put after his wife died in a trapeze accident; to win his son back, Beery must return to being a lion tamer, especially difficult because he has one arm and he is now petrified of lions!) starring Wallace Beery (in the title role as Captain Michael 'Windy' 'O'Shaugnessy), Jackie Cooper (in the title role as Joseph 'Stubby' O'Shaughnessy), George 'Spanky' McFarland (who played Stubby as a child!), Henry Stephenson, Sara Haden, and Clarence Muse. Note that Spanky McFarland plays Jackie Cooper's character as a young boy, in a rare non-Our Gang performance, and because of his popularity at the time, he was given a very large third billing!
