| Just a reminder on how this works: I post the mystery photo on Monday and reveal the answer on Friday … or on Saturday if I have a hard time picking only five pictures; sometimes it's difficult to choose. To keep the mystery photo from getting lost in the other entries, I move it from Monday to Tuesday to Wednesday, etc., adding a photo every day.
I have to approve all comments, so if your guess is posted immediately, that means you're wrong. (And if a wrong guess has already been submitted by someone else, there's no point in submitting it again).
If you're right, you will have to wait until Friday. There's no need to submit your guess five times. Once is enough. The only reward is bragging rights.
The answer to last week's mystery star: June Gale!

Update: Marie Mosquini in a photo stamped Feb. 24, 1924. On the back of the photo, the title “Two Wagons – Both Covered,” has been crossed out and replaced with “Uncensored Movies.”
Here’s another picture of our mystery woman.
 Los Angeles Times file photo
Update: The back of the photo says: “Riddle—What is [it] that walks on land, swims in water and flies? The answer is Marie Mosquini, petite Paramount comedienne in “Good and Naughty,” starring Pola Negri. Marie vamped a couple of naval flyers into taking her for a flight at Del Coronado, famous Southern California resort where she was on location for the picture.”
Here’s our mystery woman with a mystery aviator.

Update: Mosquini and David Butler in “7th [or Seventh] Heaven,” Sept. 25, 1927.
And here's a photo of our mystery woman with a mystery companion. |

Mystery companion today is Andy Clyde. And so, if you have provided a spousal clue, is our mystery woman Elsie Tarron, Andy’s wife? I met Elsie Tarron through a work associate in the 1980s, and do see a resemblance in the aviatrix photo.

I’ve heard of her, and seen photos of her in comedy roles, but I would never have gotten this. I’ve never heard of David butler.

That’s the strangest thing. When I saw her in that photo for “Seventh Heaven” I thought the mystery companion might just be Snub Pollard from a weird angle. It wasn’t, but it turned out she was once engaged to Snub. Crazy coincidence or my brain trying to tell me something?
