Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere was a widely-held belief that a young man in a wig and period costume appearing in a scene with Kay Francis in "I Found Stella Parish" was a young Errol Flynn. This was the chained male prisoner standing to the left of an all-white-clad Kay Francis on stage as she is giving her act IV speech near play finale. As reported by Rudy Behlmer in the March 1970 issue of "Films in Review" the writer and his collaborators, Clifford McCarthy and Tony Thomas, concluded that the Flynn lookalike was actually Ralph Bushman (a.k.a. Francis X. Bushman Jr.).
- GoofsWhen Stella and Nana enter the apartment to Gloria and Uncle Keith playing Little Red Riding Hood, Stella walks past the parlor curtain twice.

Gloria Parish: Am I a wonderful actress like you?
Stella Parish, an alias of Elsa Jeffords, aka Aunt Lumilla Evans: Wonderful's a pretty big word for a little girl like you, but I think you'll do.
Gloria Parish: When I grow up, will I be a wonderful actress?
Stella Parish, an alias of Elsa Jeffords, aka Aunt Lumilla Evans: If you work hard, perhaps. Do you want to be?
Gloria Parish: Rather! I'd like that better than anything. Don't you, Mommy?
Stella Parish, an alias of Elsa Jeffords, aka Aunt Lumilla Evans: You know what I like better than anything, better than the best roles I've ever had, better than the theaters and all the people in them, better than anything in this whole wide world, don't you?
Gloria Parish: Yes, Mommy, I do. It's Nana.
Stella Parish, an alias of Elsa Jeffords, aka Aunt Lumilla Evans: No.
Gloria Parish: Maybe Elizabeth?
Stella Parish, an alias of Elsa Jeffords, aka Aunt Lumilla Evans: Yes, I guess that's who it is.

Lyrics by Al Dubin
Played by Kay Francis on the piano
Sung by Sybil Jason
Emotions abound throughout as logic and reason are cast to the wind. This is what they were aiming toward and what the audience wanted. They expected Kay Francis to suffer and emote and play on the heartstrings of some innocent man.
Her actions in this film are so illogical that they can only be seen as the conveyance to situations where Francis can suffer and emote even more.
They pulled it off fairly well.
