The dive restaurant where Carolyn goes slumming is the same one that appears in the opening scenes of Marihuana (1936) (it also appears as a saloon in the Bob Steele western The Feud Maker (1938)). The house that Mae and her husband share also appears in Slaves in Bondage (1937) and the vanity set in Mae's bedroom also shows up in Reefer Madness (1938), where it's also owned by a character named Mae.
