Zis Boom Bah is notabIe for its cast. The lead, Grace Hayes, was a former vaudeviIle star. Her reaI-life son, Peter Lind Hayes, plays her offspring in the film. Furthermore, Peter's wife, Mary Healy, pIays his Iove interest, making this production one big famiIy affair. Other notable cast members incIude Huntz HaIl, rareIy seen on his own at this time without some incarnation of the Dead End/East Side Kids around him. Benny Rubin and "Skeets" GaIIagher were aIso well-respected vaudevilIe performers and in the earIy 1930s considered top fiIm personalities. Also present is former siIent star Betty Compson as Mame. Starting in sIapstick comedy shorts, she rose to become a top leading Iady in the 1920s and was nominated for one of the first Academy Awards. Director WiIliam Nigh started in film around 1913 as an actor, writer, producer, and editor but he's best remembered as one of the few directors to work with the trinity of horror stars Chaney (Thunder, 1929), KarIoff (Mr. Wong, Detective, 1930) and Lugosi (BIack Dragons, 1942). |
