Well done mrdj!

That's Jeanette Eymann, Jack's long-time secretary who always worked on the scripts, the odds are probably good that's even Jeanette's handwriting on that Drear Pooson script excerpt above.

She did a bunch of bit parts, once you start seeing her, she pops up everywhere. She's even supposedly in the "Pasadena Fan Club" episode above, though I couldn't ID her definitively in my copy.

Also pictured are Margaret Brayton, Stevie Wooton and cult-movie kid actor Charles Herbert (from THE FLY, 13 GHOSTS, TWILIGHT ZONE, etc).

I've never done a voice comparison, but I wonder if that's not Margaret Brayton who is listed in Laura's book (vol. 1) simply as "Margaret."

She was doing an awful lot of Los Angeles radio in the mid 30s; radio soap star Mary Jane Higby talks about how the two of them started out with Gale Gordon in the mid 30s.

Not sure on Brayton, yht, but it shouldn't be too hard to do a voice comparison, she has a lot of credited roles. Certainly everyone in that scene did more than one Benny show, so it's totally plausible.

OK, next up should be reasonably easy:

The Mystery of What Was in that Glass and How Many did Jack Have Before the Picture Was Taken ... can these two sleuths help him out? Who are they?

That's the lovely and talented Myrna Loy with Basil Rathbone!!!!!

Yes! Razzle Bathbone, and Nora Charles herself, Myrna Loy, wearing Jack's toupee.

Mmm! Soup! Who's serving?

by **JohnM** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 5:42 am

At first I thought it was Jerry Lee Lewis serving the soup, but I doubt the Killer (not Hogan) has any connection to JB.

So, could that wavy hair possibly belong to Phil Harris?

No, it isn't "Curly" as Remley would say ...

With all the kids in the picture...could it be Dennis Day?

by **shimp scrampi** » Mon Apr 06, 2009 3:00 pm

Solid logic, Maxwell - would be even more solid if there were about twelve more kids there :wink:

But it isn't Dennis.

How 'bout Kenny Baker??

by **shimp scrampi** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 2:12 am

Not Kenny either. It's amazing how much soup fifty cents'll buy you.

Who knew John L.C. Sivoney was such a nurturing, domestic family man?

by **JohnM** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 3:43 am

Any guesses on this clue?

by **JohnM** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 3:46 am

Well, it worked in preview, and now I can't edit it, so sorry for this awkward first attempt at picture posting.

Maybe this'll work....
