Hopkins quit the production in early Nov 1932 claiming the role was not suitable for her. Gable was on loan from M-G-M for this film. Gable and Lombard were married in 1939.

19275215Warehouse Point East Windsor Conn: The Church 1927. Octavo 23 x 15.5 cm. 92 pages. Includes table of contents. Advertising interspersed. Evident FIRST EDITION. A church cookbook with two hundred eighty attributed recipes from the North Central Connecticut community of East Windsor. Meat dishes document the "international" interest of the 1920s: English Hotch Potch Hungarian Goulash Italian Spaghetti Dutch Casserole and jarring though it always seems Arabian Pork Chops. Elsewhere an effort to include local American regions crops up: Virginia Vegetable Soup Philadelphia Cinnamon Buns Vermont Canned Chicken. A reference to whole grain in baking seems evident in one recipe calling for "entire wheat." ~ Warehouse Point is a historic neighborhood in what since 1768 has officially borne the name East Windsor. The area had been known as Warehouse Point since the mid-1600s when it functioned as a river transport station at the southern edge of Springfield Massachusetts Colony. The Wesley Church at 55 Main Street - now Wesley United Methodist of East Windsor - prospers its white clapboards rounded chancel stunning stained glass historic organ not to forget the bell dedicated in April 1900 all faithfully maintained. ~ The signature of the book's original owner may have belonged to Ruth Ethel Humason 1893-1949 who according to census records that place them in Warehouse Point had a younger sibling named Ina Louise 1895-1982. The identification rests on the slender evidence that a handwritten recipe labeled "Ina's Choc Frosting" is folded on a loose leaf within the pages of Junior Aid Recipe Book. ~ Shelfworn. Stapled in green wrappers now soiled with black lettering and a photograph of the church within a black border; back chipped and separated save for four strips of white cloth tape applied by a previous owner. Some pages splatter-stained and page fore-edges soiled with chipping and marring of text. Owner's name in ink on front cover: "Ruth E. Humason June 3rd 1927." Good only. Unrecorded.
