Pathe had a deal with the Hal Roach Studios. Many Roach comedies were released in truncated form in the Pathex 9.5mm format. One of the later Pathex films C-115 "Baby Brother" consisted of two 60 foot reels (about 11 minutes). It is a shortened version of a 1927 Pathecomedy. Our Gang members are Red, italicized below.

Hal Roach began his series of "Our Gang" comedies in 1923 and they became one of the longest running and most successful series in cinema history.
