L 48 CLASS 6 — Comedies and Juvenile COURTESY TITLE REEL NO. Courtesy of HOLLYWOOD CITIZEN 3511-2 OUR GANG IN "SUNDOWN LIMITED" This hilariously funny picture contains most of the original cast which first made Hal Roach famous, including Mickey Daniels, Joe Cobb and Mary Kornman. Being told by their parents to play in a safe place, the gang selects the railway yard. After a screamingly humorous sequence in which two of the kids kidnap a full sized locomotive and run it, they decide to build a railway of their own, including locomotive, Pullman coaches, stations and what have you. Marvel of marvels, the engine, constructed from soap boxes, milk cans, tea kettles and other odds and ends, actually runs, thanks to its one dog power motor. The device for starting and reversing the motor is particularly ingenious, being nothing more nor less than two cages with cats inside of them. When the wooden door of the cage is lifted, the dog sees the cat and starts running along the treadmill. To reverse, the first cat is concealed and a cat at the opposite end of the treadmill is exposed. An exciting runaway occurs when the dog gets his nose under the hinged door of the cat's cage and keeps on running after the engineer has pulled the stop lever. There is also a thrilling wreck when the jealous villain puts a piano box on the track. Everybody from baby to grandpa will get a big kick out of this hilarious comedy. 2 Reels Courtesy of BELL & HOWELL COMPANY • 3512 ALL STAR FREAKS This funny old world is full of curiosities.
