The lengthy scenes of Ruth Etting recording songs for playback, for her first film to allow her (presumably) to mime to the recordings during filming were a plot device that bears no relation to what was possible in the early days of sound film where songs were performed 'live'. Pre-recording musical numbers for playback was not technically possible until late 1932. Etting made numerous short subjects from 1929 until 1932 for Vitaphone in New York (not Hollywood) in which she performed live on camera, but did go to Hollywood to make a feature film until 1933. In the film, she is portrayed as going to Hollywood in 1927 after leaving the Ziegfeld Follies.
