What actor played their son Louis XVIII


I thought it was Dickie Moore but it's not him.

The Dauphin, who would have been Louis XVII, was played by Scotty Beckett. Beckett replaced Dickie Moore when Moore left the Our Gang series in 1933. Beckett appeared in Our Gang shorts as George "Spanky" McFarland's best friend in 1934 and 1935. He left the series and was replaced by Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer. Beckett had a successful career as a child and young adult actor, appearing in many big productions, including this one, "Marie Antoinette." His career never progressed into adulthood -- though the talent was there -- due to problems with drugs, alcohol, and the law. Hope this helps.
