The opening scene is Cummins Highway, on the downhill slope between Sacred Heart Church and the Washington Irving School. It's just about at Sherwood Street.

The second scene is the intersection of Cummins Highway and Hyde Park Ave. It appears to have been shot from on the Cummins Highway RR bridge looking downhill towards American Legion Highway. That is Hyde Park Ave crossing left to right. The business on the 10-o-clock corner is Louie White's Liquor Store. He owned many of the stores on those two corners. He eventually closed a small grocery store across the street and moved into it himself expanding the business. Many years later it was sold and is now Atlas Liquors.

This would have been prior to 1952 and possibly in the 40s or before.

The last scene that is cut off is a trolley leaving the Arborway yard and starting up a trolley reservation incline toward South Street.

Now we just need to figure what the ingredients might be.

The initial jingle cadence would work as "Rice-a- Rozzie.. the West Roxbury treat."
