Francis. Note that Joseph Schildkraut had just played a riverboat gambler in the hugely successful "Show Boat" (the 1929 version), and so he was rushed into this movie, to capitalize on his success from that movie. Also note that this movie was filmed in both sound and silent versions, and the sound version exists, but the transcription discs (containing the sound) have sadly been lost.
