Our Gang / The Little Rascals - The First Seven Years (1930) - Filming Locations

Jackie has affections for Mary Ann, but she's not interested. And further complicating matters - Donald Haines is also interested in Mary Ann. She suggests that the two of them duel it out with real swords and the winner gets to be her boyfriend.

This is one of the early "talking" / sound movies in The Little Rascals series. When this movie was being made in late 1929, many of the other movies of the time were being made inside sound stages at the studios because film crews had not yet become comfortable with filming outdoors on location.

This Little Rascals movie on the other hand is MOSTLY filmed outdoors, on location in the Palms neighborhood on the west side of Los Angeles. Clearly the team at the Hal Roach Studios mastered the new sound equipment much more quickly than other studios and because of that, they managed to create a fascinating time capsule of the area prior to the massive development that we see there today.
