A ballroom scene required for the film brought a a touch of style into the production. A number of high Sydney socialites were given roles as extras for the day's filming which must have been unusual to be dressed in evening wear at 10am! Appearing in the scene was the Frank Coughlan Band which would later become the famous Trocadero Orchestra. Coughlan is often recognised as being one of the most influential musicians in the development of jazz in Australia.
