James Roosevelt, son of the President, who had no experience in motion pictures, set up a production company in late 1939 and hired the Perelmans to write this first film he wanted to produce.

Quoting Wikipedia: "In 1920, Palmer entered the "Fame and Fortune Contest" advertised in Motion Picture Magazine. She won the contest, and was heralded by the magazine as the "most beautiful girl in America." The magazine's publisher, Eugene V. Brewster,[whom she would marry in 1926] allowed Palmer significant publicity in the magazine, and began to promote her as she embarked on a film career. Between 1921 and 1923, Motion Picture Magazine published a total of twenty-three articles on Palmer, while its sister publication, Motion Picture Classic, published an additional story on the actress.Palmer also had a face powder named after her, created by the Wilton Chemical Company in and also appeared on the cover of Beauty, a women's magazine. She made her film debut in the short From Farm to Fame, documenting her public notoriety after winning the contest, followed by an acting role in Her Second Chance (1926). After ending her acting career in 1931, Palmer continued to model cosmetics.
