Found this picture of actress/acting coach Stella Adler with some residue on her. Found the movie eventually on youtube and the clip was awesome, but I would kill to find a higher quality video (if possible, and yeah I know it's from the 30s)

The action happens around 17:42

Great find! The reaction scream reminded me of the Mandrell pie in the face scene.

Does anybody else hear the similarities?

Seems like could have been the same audio reaction, even though it isn't.
