Films about girls' boarding schools are usually a puzzle to the Hays organization. Maedchen in Uniform introduced a new and controversial subject.

The failure of disarmament conferences, the misbehavior of Japan, political unrest in the European 'powder-box,' and high tariff walls, all add to the uncertainty of our economic life.
