Description
Photograph caption dated May 20, 1940 reads,"Los Angeles Police Commissioner, John B. Kingsley, is waging war on hitch-hikers, especially girl hitch-hikers. Thus he has a special interest in Columbia's 'Girls of the Road,' hitch-hiking drama, now before the cameras. Here he's shown on the set with the picture's principals, left to right, Lola Lane, Ann Dvorak and Helen Mack. Kingsley thinks the picture, by revealing the facts of girl hitch-hikers in America, will do a lot of good."
