| | leeve3311 11/26/2009 | In Glendale, California in 1935, I was summering with my grandmother, and she
permitted me to go to a 'Movie Preview", that is a preview pre-release, to get
an idea of how the movie might be received. I was 6 yrs old (and with a friend),
saw the movie. I thought it was great. Got to meet Virginia Bruce, and I think
I saw Bruce Cabot. I also remember the auto used in the movie by Mr. Cabot
was also there. I was quiite thrilled. |
