Quiz
There was a widely-held belief that a young man in a wig and period costume appearing in a scene with Kay Francis in "I Found Stella Parish" was a young Errol Flynn. This was the chained male prisoner standing to the left of an all-white-clad Kay Francis on stage as she is giving her act IV speech near play finale. As reported by Rudy Behlmer in the March 1970 issue of "Films in Review" the writer and his collaborators, Clifford McCarthy and Tony Thomas, concluded that the Flynn lookalike was actually Ralph Bushman (a.k.a. Francis X. Bushman Jr.).

Blooper
In 1 scene, both Gloria and Keith ask for a cookie. Since both were English, they really would have asked for a biscuit.

hard to take

This is a badly dated melodrama about an actress whose dark past is revealed by a conniving reporter. Kay Francis is luminous, but she can't play trash.

When Stella gets tough and starts on her downward trend, Kay, with her patrician beauty and educated accent, can't do it. A very talky movie, supposedly set in England, but the atmosphere and language aren't very British.

Apparently the play she appears in has something to do with Caligula - trust me, it's no starmaking play or performance. It was fun to see that the play actually had an orchestra, a reminder of the old days when "straight plays" were really huge events.
