Note that the card game bridge achieved phenomenal success in the U.S. in the early 1930s! Virtually every married couple played it, and there were daily bridge columns in every newspaper, and the top bridge players, like Ely Culbertson, became famous celebrities! Naturally, Hollywood tried to make a movie about the phenomenon, but watching people play cards on screen is not very exciting, so this was the only such movie!

There was tiny paper loss in the top left corner and someone taped a piece from another card to that area. There were also two tiny areas of paper loss in the left of the bottom blank border that were repaired.
