Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bertha Kalich was a Yiddish theatre superstar who crossed to Hollywood; this was her attempt at 'respectable' Anglo drama, proving immigrant actors could carry mainstream prestige pictures.
Edward Van Sloan later became Universal's Dr. Van Helsing in the 1931 Dracula — here he's just a guy named Joseph, decades before monster hunting.
