Without a doubt, CHOO-CHOO has to be one of the finest LITTLE RASCALS ever made.  During a stopover, some orphans convince the gang to take their place on the train that's taking them to their new home.  The gang manages to make the train ride a living hell for the prissy, child-hating Mr. Henderson, (played by Del Henderson) who is assigned the unenviable task of shepherding the "orphans" to their final destination.  There is enough mayhem here to rival any 3 Stooges short-perhaps this was inspired by the Stooges themselves who were as popular during this period.  There is not one wasted performance here-Wheezer, Stymie, Sherwood, and Breezy, and of course Spanky, who steals the show without a single word of dialog, socking Henderson in the nose.  Henderson's response ("Nice boys don't do that!") earns him another bop in the face.  The mayhem accelerates as a drunken novelty salesman passes out noisemakers to the gang in the sleeper car.  Things then go from bad to worse when Stymie and a monkey in the freight car release a menagerie of animals into the sleeper section of the train.  One can tell that everyone involved in the making of CHOO-CHOO must have had a great time doing it-and it shows.

TODD FEIERTAG is a name that is synonymous with Vintage Movie Posters since he's been buying and selling them for 58 years!!  On MARCH 1, 1997 he conducted a single owner sale of his own material at Sotheby's(the largest auction house in the World) in New York which was the most successful movie poster auction of all time.  Many of the rare posters were the finest examples in existence and/or the only known examples.  Included in that auction was an original one sheet for THE MUMMY(1932) which sold for 3,500.00, more than doubling the previous high record for a poster.  An astounding amount at that time and an auction record which stood for almost eighteen years.
