Reportedly to be Spencer Tracy's first film, although he does not receive screen credit and his name is not mentioned in any of the contemporary reviews, nor in such reputable modern sources such as Edwin M. Bradley's 'The First Hollywood Sound Shorts' nor in Roy Liebman's 'Vitaphone Films'; the all male cast included 22 players, all of them recruited from the Broadway stage.
