March 1, 1940, Tevya [Updated 2: Please congratulate Mary Mallory for identifying our mystery fellow as Maurice Schwartz! This is Schwartz (d. 1960) in a photo stamped April 9, 1963.]

[Update: So far, nobody has identified our mystery fellow, so I’ll leave him up one more day in case some folks didn’t check the blog this weekend.]

Here’s our weekend mystery fellow!

There’s another picture on the jump!

    It’s not Vittorio de Sica, perhaps it’s Edwardo Ciannelli?

    I didn’t recognize him without his beard, but now I’d say that’s Monty Woolley.
