The Stolen Jools
A lighthearted 1930s promotional comedy built around a jewel theft mystery, designed as a star-studded entertainment vehicle rather than a serious narrative.
Famous actress Norma Shearer's jewels are stolen… (Star-packed promotional short film intended to raise funds for the National Variety Artists Tuberculosis Sanatorium.)
