Copyrighted April 24, 1931, Released April 25, 1931.
Gilda Gray - Frankie; Walter Fenner - Johnny
Directed by Dudley Murphy..
This is one of the Shimmy Queen's only talking roles.
This fascinating film does have stereotyping, it is very much a product of its time.
(P.S. Some sources list this film as lost, here it is as a 16mm with UM&M TV titles, so presumably the master 35mm also survives.)
