THE OUR GANG COLLECTION - Volume 1
Five of the Gang's Greatest and Funniest Silents!
DERBY DAY (1923) After seeing a legitimate horse race the gang decide
to open a track of their own. The "thor'breds" in their stable
consist
of a cow, a mule, a tricycle, a couple of dogs and a goat!
BIG BUSINESS (1924) The gang decide to enter the seething world of of
modern business by opening their own barber shop where hedge clippers
are the tool of choice. Their coiffure repertoire includes the
"Mohawk", the "shaved and shiny" and the "random" cut. A "two dollar
job" soon arrives in the person of Mickie, whose long, curly locks
prove impossible to resist!
MONKEY BUSINESS (1926) A monkey is fed up performing tricks for his
trainer and decides to escape and see the world. He soon befriends
Farina and the gang who wish to use him as the main attraction in
their own circus. Before they can put on a single performance,
however, their primate pal discovers some "home brew" and tears up
the
town!
WAR FEATHERS (1926) After a wild train trip the gang arrive in the
rootin' tootin' western town of Red Dog. To avoid a gun battle, they
hide in a covered wagon which, it turns out, belongs to a desperate
group of outlaws en route to the "Whistling Clam Rancho", their
hideout. It's soon unclear who's more dangerous - the outlaws or the
gang!
LOVE MY DOG (1927) The fact that Farina's pooch is a baby-saving hero
doesn't cut the mustard with the heartless dog catchers. They're
rounding up every un-vaccinated dog in town due to a hydrophobia
epidemic. Will Farina's beloved pet be gassed? In this film the
audience helps decide his fate!
Original music scores composed and performed by Ben Model!

THE OUR GANG COLLECTION - Volume 2
Five more of the Gang's Greatest and Funniest Silents!
SUNDOWN LTD. (1924) After creating havoc playing on a real train, the
gang decide to avoid adult interference by building their own
railroad. The result is one of the most elaborate Our Gang
contraptions ever seen on film! Their train is a great success until
Toughy, a jealous rival, derails it and sends it careening through
the
city streets!
SHOOTIN' INJUNS (1925) The Gang, dreaming of being cowboys, embark on
a journey to find real Indians to shoot. Along the way, however, they
are forced to shelter from a storm in a novelty house intended for an
amusement park! This film REALLY pulls out all the stops. It's one of
those great scare comedies at which Our Gang excelled. Not only is
the
house full of elaborate devices, but the film contains some of the
most amazing special effects ever seen! Jaw-dropping even by today's
standards, this one should not be missed!
GOOD CHEER (1926) In this rare and unusual Christmas-themed film, the
gang are street waifs in a snowy winter setting. The younger members
of the gang desperately want to believe in Santa Claus but are foiled
at every turn when they discover Santa has merely been portrayed by
well meaning impostors. Their faith is restored, however, through the
intervention of the magical spirit of the real Santa Claus, a
friendly
old shoemaker and a band of crooks disguised in Santa costumes!
SHIVERING SPOOKS (1926) The gang have an underground secret hide out
which caves in. The only way out is to break through a wall into the
basement of a house. Unfortunately, the house is occupied by a fake
medium and his cohorts who bilk money out of their unsuspecting
victims by pretending to contact the dead! The gang soon find
themselves surrounded by ghosts, skeletons and everything else that
goes bump in the night!
THE FOURTH ALARM (1926) Inspired by having extinguished a small house
fire, the gang establish their own fire department. But battling
blazes is complicated for Chief Joe who must administer his little
sister's worm medication every fifteen minutes. The action gets
underway when the gang rush to a burning building which, unbeknownst
to them, is full of explosives! Full of fun and terrific Our Gang
gadgets, this film was later re-made as the talkie "Hook and Ladder"
Original music scores composed and performed by Ben Model on the
Miditzer virtual theatre organ!
