Yes, this is “Flying With Music,” or “The Cavalcade of Character Actors,” as we have been calling it around the Daily Mirror city room.

The script is by M. Coates Webster, who mostly wrote Westerns, and the rather obscure Louis S. Kaye, and directed by George Archainbaud, another veteran of movie Westerns (and, of course, “Penguin Pool Murder,” starring you know who).

And for Monday, we have a mystery lady.

March 4, 2014, Mystery Photo

And here we have Tuesday’s mystery gent. You may be thinking  “Oh, him.”

OK, well maybe someone will look at Wednesday’s mystery chap in the pith helmet and say: “Oh. Him.”

If you would like a hint, email me.

Wednesday’s very familiar mystery chap was a tip for lots of folks. And yes, he did make rather a lot of movies.

Please congratulate Gary Martin (Wednesday’s mystery fellow), Mary Mallory (Tuesday’s mystery man), Don Danard (mystery movie and cast), Julie Merholz (Wednesday’s mystery man), Mike Hawks (mystery movie and cast), LC (mystery movie and cast), Floyd Thursby (Wednesday’s mystery man),  Bruce Reznick (Wednesday’s mystery man), Barbara Klein (mystery movie and cast) and Rick Scott (Wednesday’s mystery man).

And for Thursday, the love interest in our mystery film.

And for Friday it’s “Oh yeah… Her.”

Note: This movie could have been called “The Cavalcade of Character Actors” and was such a cheap production that instead of using process photography in this scene, they had a couple of guys stand outside the window with a big photo of clouds and move it up and down.

Please congratulate Don Danard for identifying the rest of the mystery cast, Barbara Klein on identifying Thursday’s leading lady and Mike Hawks for filling out the cast.

Don says of Thursday’s mystery fellow: You don’t see too many people dressed like he is these days. At least, I hope not. Hawks says: XXXX and XXXX are our exciting and colorful!!! leading couple today.

    Putting everything on a Monday “Win” I bet that this is Estelita Rodriguez in Tropical Heatwave. Of the three movie theaters in the Kansas town where I grew up, one of them was the Republic Pictures Franchise. It is likely that I have seen 90% of their product. (Does that make me a winner?)

    For Friday we have Norma Varden looking younger than I remember her ever being. But my patience is limited and I am not going to sort through the 200 films she made and match them up with Byron’s …obviously this is circa 37-42 ,,,which limits us to 117 each. oi, such research!
