On this day in 1925, Alice didn’t board an iron horse, an early term for a locomotive, but a smaller “tin pony,” in the comedy short Alice’s Tin Pony. Featuring Margie Gay as the live-action heroine in the cartoon world, this episode in Walt Disney’s Alice series sees the young leading lady and her cat pal Julius at “Alice’s Railroad” when a case, prominently marked “Big Pay Roll,” is loaded onto the train. Soon a pegleg villain and his gang are in pursuit of the loot. Perhaps the moral of this story should be: It is unwise to have a sign posted on a railroad car reading “NOTICE: This car carries a big pay roll.” At least with Alice and Julius onboard, everything is soon back on track.
