Elmer Camden Lowry (December 19, 1919 – c. 1 May 1989[1]) was an American child actor and vaudevillian. He appeared in several Our Gang short films as Skooter.[2]
His character, Washington-born Skooter,[3] was fond of Charles G. Dawes, known for his freckles, hat, and personality. He was dubbed "the original tough guy", due to his mean, harsh "bad boy" persona in the Our Gang films, at times referred as villainous.[4][5][6] Known for his talented dancing, singing, and impersonations, Lowry was most well known for that during his vaudeville days.[7][8][9]
