    Kathryn McGuire (1903-1978) was an American dancer and silent-film actress. In 1927 Kathryn married George W. Landy, a motion-picture publicity director. George Landy died in 1955.

    James Montgomery Flagg called Ms. McGuire the most beautiful blonde in Hollywood. [1]

    "She is probably best remembered today for the parts of The Girl and Betsy O'Brien, alongside Buster Keaton, in Sherlock Jr. and The Navigator (both 1924) respectively." [2]

    One of the all time greats! I just mentioned him in a comment recently and can't think where??? It's part of the "getting-old-heimers" I suffer from.

    Swordscookie Love the expression "getting-old-heimers"!

    Interesting - although I can't find reference to a Tom Mix visit to Dublin in The Irish Times, from 1920-1929. Although there are references to his visting England twice, in 1925 and 1929. Is there any more detail about the photo?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    vandillo Hmm! Have been investigating. Found the refs to England in 1925 and 1929. Checked a load of newspapers, and did find one reference to a proposed visit to Dublin, but that was late 1930s. Will keep searching. However, metadata on these W.D. Hogan photos is usually pretty reliable...

    Amazing to think this was the same year the Civil War ended!
