Featured Historical Landmarks:
- 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.
From the recently released
The Little Rascals - The Complete Collection (Centennial Edition) Blu-ray collection. I highly recommend it!
In this classic
Our Gang / The Little Rascals short
Boxing Gloves, Joe Cobb and Chubby compete for the affections of Jean Darling. The rivalry centers around a soda shop date, leading to the hilarious complications the Little Rascals are known for.
Woodbine Street and Motor Avenue - A Little Rascals Landmark
This specific filming location is one of the most prolific in silent film history, appearing in at least a dozen other Our Gang / The Little Rascals shorts. Located at the corner of Woodbine Street and Motor Avenue in the
Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles, the building at
