Always enjoy watching Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts comedy shorts .🥰Nice to see Billy Gilbert and Sterling Holloway . Spanky always so cute . 🥰Thank you 👍
This is one fantastic short I always love when hal roach put his comedy shorts In or around trains . I guess at the time Spanky was such a big star He didn’t need a credit at the beginning of the short lol 😂 he was a fantastic child star
The satiric Erich von Stroheim role is ironic due to the fact that Zasu gave one of the most electrifying performances ever under von Stroheim’s direction in the classic “Greed”, filmed only eight years previously. Contemporary audiences must have been slightly aware of this…or maybe not. Still, it’s a fun bit of inside baseball.
This is the first time I ever heard an American say "Let's go to the washroom" It's what we call the restroom here in Canada. I love watching TT and ZP comedy shorts.

Loved this comedy short with Zasu Pitts and Thelma Todd! 😊
More to come!
Absolutely love these old serials
Makes me feel safe and happy
Wonderfully great comedy.
What tragedy the way Thema passed. I could see those girls doing great things. Calibration with Laura and Hardy would have been epic.
They outsmarted the 🐝. That's comedy!
Billy Gilbert, the conductor, was hilarious in every comedy he did. But in this, it's little Spanky McFarland that steals the show.

This has GOT to be the first training film for employees of Amtrak...
Zazu, Spanky and Sterling Holloway.
Yeah, it's good to see spanky in another universe ✨️
So good !!!
Thelma says "I have everything" at the start of this, and says the same line in "Speak Easily"..."I've got EVERYthing."
The Todd/Pitts films are the sweet spot between Laurel and Hardy and The Three Stooges.
Spanky was 5 here!
One Track Minds (1933) Thelma Todd | Zasu Pitts | GEORGE "SPANKY" McFARLAND | Pre-Code Comedy Short
It's never explained what relation Spanky is to Todd & Pitts or how they became acquainted.
2:30 Zasu says "my little brother."
@@rossdelain1645 when the conductor is getting the tickets from Zasu and Thelma- Zasu explains that Spanky is her younger brother…

How old was Spanky when this was filmed?
He was born October 2, 1928, so about 4 years of age. 😊
