Recently, the “Each Dawn I Die” co'mpany wanted to make a location shot on a ranch back of the studio. They found a WPA construction gang on the spot, working with cement mixers.

Morgan told Frank she didn’t think they could make a go of the marriage. So, in a huff, he revealed it to the newspapers and went on the road in a play. Two weeks later in Richmond, he got a wire from his wife that she was going to join him. They've been together ever since. 2 . rr Identity of the giver is unknown but in_a free-for-all fight scene for “Maiden Voyage,” Annabella got a shiner.
