March 18, 1929, Robert Ober
March 18, 1929: Robert Ober to direct at MGM.

Update: Our weekend mystery guest is Robert Ober (d. 1950). Saturday’s picture shows him in “A Reno Divorce” with May McAvoy in a photo marked Jan. 5, 1928. Sunday’s picture shows him in an undated photo.

Here’s our weekend mystery fellow, with a mystery companion. To keep the weekend posts more informal, I post answers as they come in rather than waiting until the end.

This week’s mystery guest was Marjorie Bennett. Thanks to Carmen for being the Daily Mirror’s guest host!

    That’s not Lewis Stone. Is that William B. Davidson as a younger man?

    Davidson would be too old, Ward Crane?
