At that time, the Board approved the film “with eliminations.” The exact date of the picture’s release is not known. According to modern sources, the film was made early in 1933 and released in 1934, and the cast included Lorenzo Tucker as a gangster, Lionel Monagos, “Slick” Chester and possibly Dorothy Van Engle.
