The photo was likely taken in conjunction with a suit brought by Goldwyn against Warner Bros. Pictures, in order to prevent the studio from using dance director and choreographer Busby Berkeley, until Berkeley completed a picture for Goldwyn starring Cantor. Berkeley was under contract to Warner Brothers, but the two studios had an agreement that he would work on two pictures per year for Goldwyn.Cantor testified for Goldwyn in the suit on May 4, 1934.
