Who was the first "Robin, the Boy Wonder"? No, not
Burt Ward, but this popular, curly-haired
child actor of the 1940s. In addition to being in the first "Batman"
film, he appeared in many other major films, mostly at Warner Brothers.
In almost all of these films, he played the hero as a boy, "growing up"
to be, among others, James Cagney in
La Glorieuse Parade (1942),
Gary Cooper in
Vainqueur du destin (1942)
and Ronald Reagan in
Crimes sans châtiment (1942). Not much is known of
him after he dropped out of acting towards the end of the decade.
