Not saying he is, but the young Laundry Man has a good shot at growing up to be Jimmy Cagney.

Eddie Quillan! Active in movies from 1926 (when he became a sort of replacement for Harry Langdon in Mack Sennett comedies) through 1987, usually as a comedian. However, he’s also remembered for his dramatic role as “Connie” in “The Grapes of Wrath” (1940).

The lady on the left with Eddie Quillan is Mary Beth Hughes. The movie is either FOLLOW THE BAND or MELODY PARADE from 1943.

Okay, with the Thursday mystery photo — him, I know. I just don’t remember his name. Anyway, it’s always good to see a Mary Frampton photo, though. What a classy lady!

IMDB doesn’t show anything called “Trombone From Heaven.” There is, however, “Follow the Band” from 1943, with Eddie Quillan, Mary Beth Hughes and Anne Rooney, which sounds like the film this photo is from.

The laundry-man film is the Mack Sennett two-reeler THE COLLEGE KIDDO (1927).
