Johnny Doughboy (1942)
A grown-up Jane Withers is joined by a whole slew of former child stars in the lightweight Republic musical Johnny Doughboy.

Adopting an alias, she joins “The Junior Victory Caravan”, a group of youthful USO performers.

Among the juvenile favorites making cameo appearances in Johnny Doughboy are Bobby Breen, Baby Sandy, Butch & Buddy, Cora Sue Collins, Robert Coogan (Jackie’s brother) and ex-“Little Rascals” George “Spanky” McFarland and Carl “Alfalfa” Switzer.
