  "article": "“During its day on the NBC Southeastern Revue, WSUN, St. Petersburg, Fla., scored what it calls a\n‘scoop’ in broadcasting several scenes from ‘Chloe,’ a film being made on location in a suburb of\nSt. Petersburg by a Hollywood company headed by Marshall Nielan, directing Olive Borden,\nMolly O’Dea and others.” [Broadcasting, June 15, 1933]\nAround this time Georgette Harvey was getting typecast in this sort of role. In the 1931\nBroadway play Savage Rhythm (co-authored by Norman Foster) she played one of a group of\nconjur-women who gather together to call back a dead woman’s soul from the beyond so that she\ncan identify her killer. And she was at it again in 1934’s Dance With Your Gods, a dark\nmelodrama set in superstition-ridden New Orleans and featuring in supporting roles Rex Ingram\nand a very young Lena Horne. Harvey was cast as old Mother Bouche, a legendary sorceress who,\nit was claimed, “has the power to put a voodoo curse on practically anybody.” During a tense\nscene in a house in the swamps she works her magic, transferring the soul of a recently executed\nmurderer into the body of a living being, a young white woman who will be forced to commit acts\nof evil.",
