Bob quenches his thirst on an outdoor set for Night Must Fall (1937). I like the water dispenser, but maybe they could have put it on a higher shelf, for the ladies at least.

The rather large gent is Primero Carnera, who had just won the championship in June. The photo was taken July 19, 1933 in NYC. Bob was in town for the release of Another Language (1933) on July 28th. Starting August 4th, Bob did the opening stage act for the movie along with Irene Purcell. They performed a scene from Private Lives (1931). That had to be fun for them, definitely fun to watch.
