This marketing system would fade away by the end of 1929.
b.		The machine producing the bubbles for the finale was responsible for one of the greatest filming fiascoes in movie history. On the first day of filming the finale, the gas produced by the bubbles caused Vincente Minnellis cameraman to faint, on top of a forty foot lift.
