Seeing the World (also known as A Roamin' Holiday) is a 1927 silent Our Gang film, directed by Robert F. McGowan and Anthony Mack. It was the 57th Our Gang short subject released. The film features James Finlayson and also a brief appearance by Stan Laurel, who later wrote: That "Seeing the World" is a very bad film, plus the print - I felt sorry for Finlayson practically working alone with nothing funny to do - He made every face in the book in this one.!!
