# When I worked as a Home Carer
I looked after an elderly woman who claimed she was the 'kid' in this film under the name of Jackie Coogan acting as a boy. Now she was either quite mad or an unsung celebrity - unfortunately she passed away within a few months before I could get to confirm it - true story.

# I don't know whether I'm sad about that or not.

# It is sad - she was a lovely lady and I had no reason to doubt her story.

If you're going to choose between Wikipedia and someone you know... pick the person you know. ;)

# haha perhaps there is truth in these words :)
I think perhaps though she may have appeared in a local stage production of the Film and got muddled up what with being a kid at the time.

# might not have been
it's quite possible they had stand-ins or even stunt doubles - perhaps she was one of these?
