Slavko Vorkapich, Robert Florey and Gregg Toland, all of whom went on to important professional film careers, created this fictional short which "features an expressionistic design made almost exclusively with miniature sets and photographed with live actors through mirrors. An elliptical narrative concerns the plight of Hollywood extras, at the time much abused by producers. Supposedly made for $97, the film ran commercially in art houses." — Jan-Christopher Horek
