  • Trivia
    Don Short's Show Gossip column in March 1934 reported that Ardelle Unger was one of twenty-five girls and ten boys given a three month contract by Fox Films. It was an attempt by Fox to build up a juvenile contract list from which prospective stars and featured talent can be selected. The thirty-five with contracts were each paid a nominal salary which could lead to a comparatively higher pay if they showed promise.
