Historical Production & Location Reference
| Film: | Boxing Gloves (1929) |
| Stars: | Our Gang / The Little Rascals (Joe Cobb, Norman "Chubby" Chaney, Jean Darling) |
| Studio: | Hal Roach Studios |
- Woodbine Street and Motor Avenue Intersection: The backdrop for the film's core rivalry, where Joe and Chubby pass each other several times while trying to get a bottle of soda pop for Jean.
- 3392 Motor Avenue, Los Angeles (Palms): The historic brick building that serves as a cornerstone setting for this short and over a dozen other Hal Roach silent comedies.
Production & Preservation Note: The corner of Woodbine and Motor stands as one of the most prolific filming locations landmarks. While modern stucco layers have since covered the original exposed brickwork seen in Boxing Gloves, the building's distinct architectural silhouette and structural profile remain remarkably intact, offering an enduring connection to the early days of Hal Roach location filming.
The Plot
From the recently released The Little Rascals - The Complete Collection (Centennial Edition) Blu-ray collection. I highly recommend it!
