shutoo Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 You got it! I actually thought she looked a bit like Joan Blondell in this side shot. It's from a 1929 film called Matchmaking Mama, and the other woman is Daphne Pollard (who resembles character actor Nedra Volz...) Your thread, Princess of Tap!

Princess of Tap Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 You got it! I actually thought she looked a bit like Joan Blondell in this side shot. It's from a 1929 film called Matchmaking Mama, and the other woman is Daphne Pollard (who resembles character actor Nedra Volz...) Your thread, Princess of Tap! Shutoo, I agree. She does look like Joan Blondell there. But I was able to identify it as Carole because I remembered the still from my book The Films of Carole Lombard. I am technologically challenged in the area of presenting photos online, so this thread is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The girl in the bathing cap is Virginia Weidler. Who is the girl leaning over her shoulder? Can you tell us what movie this is from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Maybe this photo will work. The studio said that she was eleven, but she was actually thirteen when she made her first movie. Do you know her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Much better. Looks like Gloria Jean to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 That's correct, Lavender. In her first movie, "The Under-Pup" in 1939, Universal claimed that she was eleven when she was actually thirteen. In the forties, she made several musicals with Donald O'Connor and Peggy Ryan. Now here is a rather obscure actor. He was only in a few movies in the thirties. In one well known musical, he demonstrated his findings on the many types of snoring that there are. In another musical, he did much the same with sneezing. He did not wear the cap and gown in either movie, so it's not Kay Kyser. Do you know him? One of his movies was shown recently on TCM.

LawrenceA Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I've seen Broadway Melody of 1936, but I don't recall Robert John Wildhack at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I've seen Broadway Melody of 1936, but I don't recall Robert John Wildhack at all! I believe that he does his snoring routine in Robert Taylor's office in that one. He does his sneezing in "Broadway Melody of 1938". That movie was shown recently on Eleanor Powell day. Both movies featured Eleanor Powell, Robert Taylor, and Buddy Ebsen, as well as Robert Wildhack. His only other movie was "Back Door To Heaven" in 1939. He died in 1940. Remember, I did say he was rather obscure. Lawrence, you get to go next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
