He lay desperately ill in New York. Miss Henry asked the privilege of going to his bedside. Without hesitation, Carl Laemmle, Jr. delayed the production so that she could visit her father.
Miss Heiman arrived by plane on Tuesday for the necessary scenes in "Remember Last Night?" The next day Dr. Heiman died and Miss Heiman flew back for the funeral with the sorrow of the entire Laemmle family.
