Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBobby Mallon's name "Graham McCracker" is a homage to Graham McNamee, a noted sportscaster in the 1920's. His song, "I Wonder What's Become of Sally," is reportedly a joke about McNamee's penchant for singing on the radio as well; his original ambition was to be a singer.
- GoofsChubby has the soda jerk remove the cap after Jean makes a big deal about it, but when the bottles fly up in the air, the caps are on both of them.

Featured review
Don't be distracted by the sound or lack thereof
Our Gang made a very easy transition from silent to sound in 1929 with some of their best shorts being made in the early sound era. Our Gang made its "all-talking" debut in April 1929 with the three-reel "Small Talk". Note that this is before many of the larger studios went to sound, and yet the children are much more natural in their performances than their adult counterparts. That's because the theory behind Our Gang from the start was for the children to behave as naturally as possible.
The acting by these kids is terrific, but this is what is known as a part talkie, and if you don't know that you'll keep playing with the sound thinking something is wrong. It is not. Here the Gang goes outdoors for a boxing match between two rivals, and outdoors was a place early sound equipment could not easily follow. Thus when there are close ups of just a few kids talking, even outside, you have true synchronized sound. Sound effects are added at certain other points outside to give the illusion of truly synchronized sound. However, for the long shots of the boxing match itself with a crowd of the kids making noise, these scenes are silent film with no crowd sounds even dubbed over.
Realize this and just sit back and enjoy the short and I think you'll like it.
