The photo shoot with Nancy Carroll and Earl Devore and his racecar at the close by Culver City Boardtrack was paid for by The Music Box Theater which had just changed its focus from offering 'revues' (in the Ziegfeld style) in the auditorium and dancing and illicit drinking upstairs in the open air cabaret space to one of offering legitimate, big time theater. Clark Gable and Nancy Carroll were headliners in the opening of the West Coast Premier of the play, Chicago. Nancy was sent over to the track with local Whittington Studio photographers to get some shots that could be used in promoting the opening of the play. Looks like Earl and the boys were only too willing to be a part of this.
