Note that between 1910 and 1915 railroads adopted a new system of red and green signals which were much superior to the old system, but they discovered that some railroad men were colorblind, and their careers were ruined! Also note that Jean Arthur had been in a lot of movies since 1923, but this was one of her earlier better roles (and she was second billed). But it was not until the coming of sound that she became a true star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
