Movieland Mystery Photo [Updated]

  Jan. 1, 2011, Mystery Photo  

  Los Angeles Times file photo  

[Update: Here’s the original caption pasted on the back of the photo:

  2011_0101_mystery_photob  

[This was evidently from a Sunday rotogravure section that wasn’t microfilmed, so I can’t refer to the original.

[First, there’s no Dick Curwood listed in imdb, although there is a Dick Kerwood, a stuntman who was killed Oct. 15, 1924, when he fell from an airplane while preparing to jump into a car.

[Second, I can’t find any movies in imdb in which Bob Curwood and Nena/Nina Quartaro/Quartero appeared together.

[A true mystery!]

All right, let’s see what’s going on here….  And this really is a mystery because the caption information appears to be wrong.

I gather that this mystery woman doesn’t approve of violence, but that’s just a hunch.

    Whut’s going on? It looks to us that somebody’s making a really cornball movie. From the pasty-lookin’ faces on the leads I assume it’s a silent flicker. (The less said the better maybe).
