Probably one of the Spat Family series, since he directed a lot of those that year. The Roach payroll records at USC would show what productions were in process at that date.

Thanks, Richard and Brent!

I was working on some notes for something I hope to put together soon. If I do get something written, I'll either post it here or in my blog. Thanks again.
