Jannie ‘Mango’ Hoskins — Farina’s Sister (1925) 🇺🇸

Doesn’t know exactly what it’s all about — isn’t specially interested except that her big brother Farina [Allen “Farina” Hoskins] does funny things in “Our Gang” comedies and she wants to do whatever her big brother does.

A little bit temperamental is “Jenny,” [Jannie Hoskins] a little bit skittish, but at the age of fifteen months she has made her third appearance in photoplays. Twice she had to be carried in because she was too small to walk. Now, however, with fairly steady locomotion, she has completed a rôle in “Official Officers,” under the direction of “Bob” McGowan [Robert F. McGowan] on the Hal Roach lot. And if you think she can’t act, see Official Officers and watch her roll her eyes.

You probably will see her acting in many of those funny Our Gang comedies from now on, as she is slated to become a regular member.
