Description

A snapshot of location filming for an Our Gang comedy, Los Angeles, F. Morrison Boyd, 1925. The image in front of a themed restautant and club, set like a jail with faux windows showing cartoons of inmates and a faux rock wall. Two young actors, dressed as jailbirds, are walking on a sidewalk near the entrance, where another boy actor is behind the bars of a gate, and toward a director and two crew members, one of whom carries a large board. Boyd, the road scout for the American Automobile Association, was on a 37,000-mile road trip of the U. S., Mexico and Canada. With some soiling and browning, the overall condition is good.
