Note that this movie was based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play from 1928, but there was a social worker in the play who is very unsympathetic to the poor people she is supposed to help, and pressure was brought on the play's producer Samuel Goldwyn to change the character, and he proposed she become a secret Soviet agent who was planning to blow up the tenement building so that Clarence Darrow would be elected President, and apparently that scared people enough that the character remained similar to how she had been in the original play.
