Movieland Mystery Photo

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 or Saturday. There’s no need to submit your guess five times. Once is enough. The only reward is bragging rights.

Last week’s mystery guest was Patricia Morison and the weekend mystery guest was May Wynn!

There’s a new photo on the jump!

    Robert Warwick, whose 40-year film career went from leading man in the silent era to that of dignified character roles when the talkies arrived.

    I just saw “Touch of Evil” again, and now the mystery guest looks like a very young Ray Collins to me. I’m very impressionable.
    Also, those eyes on Tuesday’s pic? AUGH.

    Just saw the new jumpers.
    Sure looks like the first X man, Mr.Bushman. With a name like Francis, he had to be good.
