Where Arbuckle Filmed his Brooklyn Vitaphone Shorts

The subject line says it all - my most expansive post ever showing over two dozen Brooklyn locations appearing in Roscoe Arbuckle's 1932 Vitaphone comedies.

While this aerial view shows how nearly every scene was filmed economically just steps from the studio in Midwood, he also filmed a few blocks to the east.

This photo below was taken in Bay Ridge, at 3rd Ave and 80th St looking south.
