actor

Looks to be en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Crawford in particular, is a good match to picture in this Wikipedia entry captioned "Crawford in 1928." "Joan Crawford (born Lucille Fay LeSueur; March 23, c. 1904–1908 – May 10, 1977) was an American actress. Starting as a dancer in traveling theatrical companies before debuting on Broadway, Crawford was signed to a motion picture contract by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1925."

Another 20's Bain photo of her:

William Harrison Hays Sr. (/heɪz/; November 5, 1879 – March 7, 1954) was an American Republican politician and chairman of MPPDA

Douglas Elton Fairbanks Sr.[1] (born Douglas Elton Thomas Ullman; May 23, 1883 – December 12, 1939) was an American actor and filmmaker.[2] He was best known for his swashbuckling roles in silent films including The Thief of Bagdad, Robin Hood, and The Mark of Zorro, but spent the early part of his career making comedies.

An earlier Jas E West in the Bain stream looks to be the same man:


He is James Edward West (1876-1948), lawyer and advocate of children's rights who served as Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America from 1911-1943.

The description in the magazine is: "Enthusiastic boosters of the Boy Scout movement— Douglas Fairbanks and Will H. Hays. This picture shows them with James E.

Thanks Luc Brocard, Richard Norton, & swanq. We'll update the catalog record.

Leonore Sorsby (note spelling). George Backer produced Great Music (a dramatic interpretation of Eric Fane's Symphony in D Minor) in 1924. The show only ran 44 performances, but it marked the Broadway debut of Leonore Sorsby in the role of Carita Zell. Carita Zell's costume was a Marquesan pāreu. Ulrich Haupt was the director.
