Another Hat Check Girl Appearance?

Post by Gumlegs » Tue Sep 01, 2015 4:05 pm

I know that the identity of the actress who played the hat check girl in Keaton's "Seven Chances" has been a source of on-going speculation. I haven't figured out who she might be, but I think I might have spotted her in another film, "Children of Pleasure." I realize that five years separate the films, and that's a long time for one gal to keep the same hair style, but ...

Well, I was going to upload a couple of frame captures, but I'm advised the attachment quota has been reached. If we haven't reached the link quota, here's a link to the sequence with her as a background dancer:



She first appears at the :27 mark, dancing in from the right. She'll appear a few times during the clip.

Yes, it looks like the same woman. She's been identified as Rosalind Byrne in this thread:

Well, just so I don't reply to myself in the other thread, here's at least some support for the speculation that Rosalind Byrne played a role in Flaming Youth (though apparently in the majority of the film which is lost, if so):
