The Var review credits Arthur Howell (along with Adrian Johnson) with the dialogue and Oliver Jones with the story, but that appears to be an error. FD and other sources credit only Edwin Johns with the story and jointly credit Adrian Johnson and Scott Pembroke with the dialogue.
       The 18 Jun 1930 Var announced Jazz Cinderella as a forthcoming production from Chesterfield Motion Picture Corp., to be directed by Scott Pembroke. Referring to it as A Jazz Cinderella, the 27 Jun 1930 FD reported that the all-talking feature would be filmed at Tec-Art Studios in Hollywood, CA. The next day’s Hollywood Filmograph, which listed the film’s title as The Jazz Cinderella, indicated that production was underway, and named Melville Shyer as assistant director. The 28 Jun 1930 Inside Facts of Stage and Screen added Evelyn Hayes to the cast. The picture also starred Jason Robards Sr., whose son, Jason Robards, began his own acting career around 1950.
       The picture was released on the states’ rights market on 14 Aug 1930, according to a 25 Oct 1930 Motion Picture News release chart. The 20 Sep 1930 Motion Picture News review confirmed the 14 Aug 1930 opening and stated that the film was “unquestionably one of the most amateurish” features in release at that time, noting its “dizzy heights of stupidity.” The 28 Sep 1930 FD review complained of the “weak story” and deemed the picture “just a filler.”
