Pathex Motion Pictures 7 "Our Gang'' in "Back Stage" No. C 3 Three Reels $5.25 A traveling magician comes to town and engages "the Gang" to aid him in his performance. Their "assistance" succeeds in divulging his choicest tricks. Farina lifts his heaviest "weights" with ease, his magic effects are spoiled, the curtain is lowered at the wrong time and even their dog participates in the destruction. Oh, yes, they "help" the show a lot and the audience appreciates it. "Our Gang" in "A Perfect Sight" No. C 6 Two Reels $3.50 "The Gang" organizes the Royal Tour Company, with Jackie as President and Mickey as Announcer. They start a sightseeing bus with a flivver body and an inside mule motor to the amazement of the entire town. "Our Gang" in "July Days" No. C 10 Three Reels $5.25 Sweet little Mary is on the lawn playing Doll's House when Mickey is seized with pangs of adoration. He seeks counsel of his sister's beau, who advises chocolates, a good show and high-speed transportation. "Our Gang" in "Big Business" No. C 18 Two Reels $3.50 On a borrowed capital of fifty cents "the Gang'' establish a "hot dog" and lemonade stand near the entrance to the race track. Everybody works hard until Ernie shows up with his father's jockey suit to be delivered at the track and Mary invites some friends to go to the races. Then business is forgotten and the youngsters desert the stand to become "railbirds" and root their favorites home. "Our Gang" in "Derby Day" No. C 19 Two Reels $3.50 "The Gang" holds a "horse race." Sammie's mount is a mule; Joe's a cow; Farina's a velocipede; Mickey's a bulldog, and Ernie's a goat. The mule kicks, the dogs fight, the goat pauses for lunch on tin cans, the cow stops and a wheel comes off the velocipede. The various "jockeys" finish the race on foot and Farina wins the race and prize by a neck. "Our Gang" in "One Summer Knight" No. C 20 Two Reels $3.50 Mary wishes for a knight in armor to serenade her, and Mickey, with the tinsmith's help, gets into some teakettle and washboiler armor. Action follows fast and furious, culminating in — but see this funny film — we won't spoil it for you. "Our Gang" in "Acting Up" No. C 21 Two Reels $3.50 "The Gang," anxious to go into the movies, eventually find themselves in a studio, where, after interrupting a dramatic company and watching Harold Lloyd at work, they get possession of a camera. Their efforts, when shown on the screen, shock the cameraman and director, and the youngsters quickly decide there is "no place like home."
