This button promoted the premiere of the 1938 movie Boy Meets Girl, an adaptation of the 1935 stage play with the same name. Produced by Warner Brothers Studios and directed by Lloyd Bacon, Boy Meets Girl starred James Cagney and Pat O'Brien. It tells the story of two Hollywood screenwriters who cast a pregnant studio waitress' baby in a Western movie. When the lead actor dislikes having a baby as a co-star, the screenwriters plot a scheme to have the waitress seduced and whisked away from show business. The phrase "Girl 2534" was most likely a serial or raffle number used in promotional activities.
