 Majestic Pictures cashed in on the success of Lionel Atwill (qv)  and Fay Wray (qv), who had been a sensation in the Technicolor  thriller _Doctor X (1932)_ (qv) and had already completed  _Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)_ (qv), which was also being  heavily promoted at the time. Majestic was able to get this film  into theaters over a month before the release of the latter one.
