Los Angeles Times file photo		 Add Don Danard to the list of people who have recognized our mystery man. I think this lady’s hat is just incredible. Gregory Moore has guessed our mystery star … but not his 1939 delightful companion, Mrs. John Rogers of the Salvation Army’s Christmas program. Lynn got his start as a Salvation Army Santa Claus and was going to reprise his role.

Add Dewey Webb and Alexa Foreman to the people who have recognized our mystery man.

This is Lynn with Geraldine Fitzgerald in a 1939 still from "Give Me a Child" or "A Child Is Born."

    He’s not: John Hodiak, John Howard, or Reed Hadley. Who he is, is another story.

    It’s an illusion. The hat is actually painted on the back wall.
    When are they going to bring back floral wallpaper?

    6 outta 6? I believe the lady in the fabulous hat is Margaret Hayes, who was more famous on television in the 1950’s than she was in film.

    The Mystery Man is Jeffrey Lynn; he’s seen with John Payne and Gail Russell in what looks like a still from CAPTAIN CHINA. In the Biblical picture, I believe he’s playing Bartimeus The Blind Man in a 1950s TV show.
