In the on-screen credits, Fazenda and Peers are shown side by side, with Fazenda first. In fact Peers plays the heroine. Fazenda appears as a Cooch dancer in what might be called a cameo role today. The film was adapted from a hit Broadway musical of the same name and was originally planned as a full-scale musical. Due to the public backlash against musical films, all musical numbers were discarded before release. This move proved to be prudent as the film was a box office success, continuing the streak of hits Capra directed for the young Columbia Pictures studio. ## Credits - **Director:** [Frank Capra](https://cinepixo.com/people/frank-capra) - **Screenplay:** [Jo Swerling](https://cinepixo.com/people/jo-swerling) - **Original Music Composer:** [Milton Ager](https://cinepixo.com/people/milton-ager) - **Producer:** [Harry Cohn](https://cinepixo.com/people/harry-cohn) - **Director of Photography:** [Joseph Walker](https://cinepixo.com/people/joseph-walker) ## Cast - [William Collier Jr.](https://cinepixo.com/people/william-collier-jr) - [Edward Martindel](https://cinepixo.com/people/edward-martindel) - [Clarence Muse](https://cinepixo.com/people/clarence-muse) - [Louise Fazenda](https://cinepixo.com/people/louise-fazenda) - [Nella Walker](https://cinepixo.com/people/nella-walker) - [Tom Howard](https://cinepixo.com/people/tom-howard) - [Alan Roscoe](https://cinepixo.com/people/alan-roscoe) - [James J.
