I got two more films on eBay. One is "Alligator" and the other is "Big Boute". They are both super 8mm film. I know that either Alligator and Big Boute are retitles for home viewing, or they are mistitled Our Gang spin off comedies. If they are home viewing retitles, what are the films' real names? Thanks if you can help

Weren't those "Kiddie Comedies," or something like that? If so, my money is on them being Mickey McGuire films.

I think you're right about that. My files show that an 8mm film called "The Alligator" is a Mickey McGuire release from Atlas Films. And "The Big Boute" sounds suspiciously familiar to me.

it won't let me post the ebay photo but on the alligator box it shows some kids standing around a table. i ve seen a few Mickey McGuire comedies and i think i see Mickey with his derby hat. i think you guys are right
i'm not sure about the big boute because it just is a cardboard box with "Big Boute" scrawled on it.
i'll tell you guys about it when i get it in the mail

Those exact 2 movies were listed in another auction. Not sure if it is still running.

There is a "Kiddie Movies" film called "Rodeo" on Ebay now. It says "Our Gang" on the box, but it is almost certainly a Mickey McGuire film. It is listed with a Laurel & Hardy film.

I'm pretty sure I've got "Rodeo" around here somewhere, and my recollection is that it is indeed Mickey McGuire.

My $.02.....I just got a silent 16mm film that was thought to be an Our Gang film, it was printed on the can. It turns out to be a Mickey McGuire & Kid Gang film. I think "maybe" because it had Mary Anne Jackson in it, it was mistaken for an Our Gang film.
Its title is Golden Gloves Night and lasts about 6-7 minutes.
