\"Sky<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On January 15, 1932, the film going public was officially introduced to Ann Dvorak when Sky Devils<\/strong><\/a> debuted at the United Artists Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles, at Broadway & 9th.<\/p>\n

She had appeared in three silent films as “Baby Anna Lehr” and could be found hoofing her way through twenty-five or so MGM features and shorts, but this was this first time the name Ann Dvorak appeared in a film credit (she initially worked at MGM under the name Anna Lehr). In actuality, Sky Devils<\/strong><\/a> was the second film Ann shot under her newly inked contract with Howard Hughes’ Caddo Company. The release of Ann’s first film, Scarface<\/a>, <\/strong>would be delayed another two months while Hughes battled with censors. Dvorak’s role as “the inevitable girl”* in this aviation comedy pales in comparison to Cesca Comonte, her tragic character in the classic gangster flick, and it’s unfortunate that Scarface’s<\/a> <\/strong>censorship issues prevented her career from beginning with a bang.<\/p>\n

This concludes This Day in Ann Dvorak History.<\/p>\n
