The film then moves to downtown where the skyline is visible, as well as theaters including one in which the film "Tovarich" starring Charles Boyer and Claudette Colbert is playing. 1937 also represented an awkward year for silent actor Ramon Novarro's storied career, with his appearance in the poorly received "The Sheik Steps Out". The marquee of the State Lake Theater indicates he made a personal appearance in support of the comedy, in which a wealthy sheik kidnaps and falls for a snobby socialite.
