Hollywood: Then and Now #1 Three Little Pigskins

This is a new segment where I will visit a classic filming location or other important sites and share then and now photos. First up is a hilarious early classic short from the Three Stooges:

Three Little Pigskins
1934 - Columbia
Directed by Ray McCarey

Location - 6315/6317 Yucca Street in the heart of Hollywood

Then:

Moe, Larry, and Curly get work promoting a football game and are carrying signs to promote it.

Now - 7/2009



The original building still remains, but large bushes (and presumably a fence) block the former storefronts. The building now houses The LA branch of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. The school no doubt chose this location to call home from this classic display of dramatic acting... or they were just a victim of circumstance.
