The first picture may be Evelyn Brent

Definitely NOT Evelyn Brent. Best guess I've seen is Miss Dupont's suggestion that it is Molly O'Day, and the number might be a Sennett portrait number--although the penmanship suggests otherwise.

The first photo is Molly O'Day in THE PATENT LEATHER KID.

:? Hey, I still need an answer for this one. Please help! My latest thought has been that it could be Marceline Day? Anyone agree? Have all 26 of the others figured out. So this is the one photo remaining.

Marceline Day, or not?

:( I've previously mentioned both Virginia Valli, and Billie Dove. Even though they look nothing alike. Apparently is not either one? How about Evelyn Brent? I think someone brought her up earlier in the thread? Could it be Louise Brooks from a 30's Western? One of her last films?

Right now most people on the other board disagree with Bob that it is not Marecline Day.

:( This just in. The photo is supposedly Sally O' Neil from MIKE (1926). I'm not sure I agree though.

:? Here is another cropped image of Sally O'Neil from MIKE. Have a lobby-card in here someplace. I've seen Sally O' Neil in SLIDE KELLY SLIDE, BATTLE OF THE SEXES and others. Far from convinced that it is her.
