The fire engines seen going to the race track were from Los Angeles Fire Department Station 66, that was located at 1715 W. Florence Avenue from 1929 to 1989. That building still stands as of this writing. The new Station 66 is located at 1909 W. Slauson Blvd. and serves the Hyde Park - South LA - Vermont Harbor area.
According to publicity material for this film, the wardrobe design for Marie Wilson was influenced by a poll taken of twenty-five waitresses at the Warner Bros. studio cafeteria.
Allen Jenkins' character "Xerxes Bailey" was given the nickname "Tip" because Marie Wilson had problems pronouncing his first name, often calling him "Jerky" - according to studio memos.
The $12 per week pay for the waitress job would be equivalent to about $256 in 2022.
Among the articles of clothing worn by Marie Wilson in this film was an ankle-length mink coat valued at $3,700.
