Movieland Mystery Photo [Updated]

Oct. 20, 2011, Mystery Photo

[Update: This is Charlie Chaplin, Edna Purviance and Rob Wagner (d. 1942) in Hawaii in 1918, courtesy of …. Rob Wagner, who provided us with this photograph of his great-grandfather, who was Chaplin’s publicist. He was later the publisher of Rob Wagner’s Script. Please congratulate LC and Barbara Klein for identifying Wagner. Everybody recognized Chaplin and Purviance — Mary Mallory, Dewey Webb, Mike Hawks, Amy, Julie Merholz, Arye Michael Bender, Lee Rivas and Bob Hansen.]

Here’s a mystery photo, courtesy of a mystery donor. Our guests range from easy to challenging.

  7. Mr. Chaplin (sans the Tramp) on the left. Don’t know the woman. And Roman Polanski, as he would appear in the year 2,000, on the right. I could be wrong about the Polanski thing…
