Billboard atop Warners Theatre at Broadway & 52nd, New York, at the film's premier.
June was featured with John Barrymore on a prominent lobby card (inset) during the same premier.

Much has been written about this film, the first feature length movie to have it's own synchronized sound and music score.  Developed by the Vitaphone Company, the film wowed audiences wherever it played.  For June's part, although her role was a small one, it gave her the opportunity to play in a major motion picture, and she must have felt proud to be a part of cinematic history.

June played the part of Trusia, and her one set of scenes, while lasting only ten minutes, are important as they give the viewer a good example of the wily ways in which Don Juan handles his many conquests. The scene between June and Phyllis Haver, bickering back and forth as to which of them might be the favorite of the "Spanish grandee" is a delightful one, and as a whole, June's performance was quite satisfying. It should also be noted that June's role here was anything but that of a young innocent!

This would be June's last film released by Warner Brothers.  A reported dispute over money led June to sign with Universal Studios.  June's first role for her new studio would, like her role in Don Juan, be a refreshing change of pace.

This film is usually available through many retail, mail order, and Internet outlets.
