Bobby Breen came out the same time with Shirley Temple,Mickey Rooney.
In the thirties as we were in deep depression.We had many child stars.
He made around seven or more movies.He had a soprano voice.
Had a good run in movies.I did not realized that he was still around.
My mother loved him.Rainbow on the River was one of his hits.
He was earning 50.000 a year this was huge at that time.
Mr.Breen died at the age of 87 at his home in Florida
He had one son Paul Howard.
Believe he was from Canada.
