Also, there's a movie from Excel I found on eBay simply titled "Hal Roach 'Our Gang' Comedy." Does anyone have any information about this? I've seen several eBay offers like this. It's impossible to figure out the title for these unless you either purchased the film or ask the seller if he or she knows the title.

There's also a version of "The Sun Down Limited" up on eBay titled "Full Steam Ahead". It's a 9.5mm copy, and seems to be from the UK.

The seller is being a bit confusing, but it's "Frying Pan Special" that features Our Gang, with the other two actors being featured in "Quick On The Draw." IIRC, "Frying Pan Special" is from "The Sun Down Limited."

Hi Farina! It could also be FIRE FIGHTERS (1922)? Some key differences between this and the remade 1926 short, THE FOURTH ALARM, is the latter 'Our Gang' silent comedy doesn't include "Sunshine" Sammy Morrison or Allen "Farina" Hoskins; and Mary Kornman (Or her as yet unborn younger sister Mildred, for that matter!), and Joe Cobb aren't in the former. Mickey Daniels isn't in either of them, apparently! I hope that some of the above information is of some help to you? CHEERS! Tony

My apologies. I misread that regarding Farina! I do stand by Mickey Daniels not being listed in either Film, and the rest of it, however! CHEERS! Edit: OK, according to the info on "The Lucky Corner" website, Mickey Daniels does possibly make an uncredited appearance in THE FOURTH ALARM, as the kid not wearing a Firefighter Uniform.

OK so we really don't know which one this then. It would take actually buying it and looking at it to determine it. It's amazing to me how many titles these Our Gang films actually had and we're still seeing new ones pop up to this very day 80 years later sheesh! lol

Could also be from a ripoff series, mislabeled as an "Our Gang" film.

Could also be from a ripoff series, mislabeled as an "Our Gang" film. KIDDIE MOVIES appears to have been a pretty substantial 8mm series that includes quite a few 'Our Gang' Titles. While I assume the Reels themselves are silent, due to the Film gauge being below Super 8, it occurs to me that some of the Films could have been derived from Talkies, which would open up the possibility of "Saved From The Flames" deriving from the 1932 'Our Gang' comedy, HOOK AND LADDER, starring Kendall "Breezy Brisbane" McComas and Dickie Moore. Anyway, here's a couple of eBay links to KIDDIE MOVIES Titles: Saved From The Flames: www.ebay.com/itm/OUR-GANG-SAVED-FROM-THE-FLAMES-KIDDIE-MOVIES-8mm-HOME-MOVIE-8-mm-LITTLE-RASCALS-/381485791603?hash=item58d2533973:g:MagAAOSwo6lWN3rF5 'Our Gang' Titles, plus a Western: www.ebay.ca/itm/171970755322?item=171970755322&vectorid=229529&rmvSB=trueThe above are all 50' Foot Reels, meaning these are all excerpts, rather than entire shorts. CHEERS!
