Line 46:
The steps, which were the focal point of ''The Music Box,'' still exist in the [[Silver Lake, Los Angeles|Silver Lake]] district of [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]], near the Laurel and Hardy Park. The steps are a public staircase which connects Vendome Street (at the base of the hill) with Descanso Drive (at the top of the hill), and are located at 923-925 Vendome Street near the intersection of Del Monte Street. A plaque commemorating the film was set into one of the lower steps in the 1990s at {{coord|34|4|59|N|118|16|30.50|W}}.
 
The steps can also be seen in the 1925 [[Charley Chase]] silent comedy, ''[[Isn't Life Terrible?]]'' (1925), during a scene in which Chase is trying to sell fountain pens to [[Fay Wray]]. The steps are also used, for a gag similar to ''Hats Off'' and ''The Music Box'', in ''Ice Cold Cocos'' (1926), a [[Billy Bevan]] comedy short directed by [[Del Lord]].<ref>[http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/I/IceColdCocos1926.html SilentEra entry for ''Ice Cold Cocos'']</ref>
 
Contrary to popular belief, the long staircase is not the same one used by [[The Three Stooges]] in their 1941 film ''[[An Ache in Every Stake]]''. Those stairs (147 steps in length) are approximately two miles northeast, located at 2212 Edendale Place in the [[Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California|Silver Lake]] district of [[Los Angeles]].<ref>[http://www.threestooges.net/journal/view/98%20threestooges.net ''The Three Stooges Journal'' # 98]</ref><ref name=Solomon>{{cite book| last = Solomon| first = Jon| authorlink = Jon Solomon| coauthors =| title = The Complete Three Stooges: The Official Filmography and Three Stooges Companion| publisher = Comedy III Productions, Inc| year = 2002| location = | pages = 195–197| url = http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Three-Stooges-Filmography-Companion/dp/0971186804/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201570359&sr=1-1 | doi =| id = | isbn = 0971186804}}</ref>
