ID Film, Folks in Pic?
ID Film, Folks in Pic?
Not sure what the proper protocol is for posting pix of current offerings on "an online auction site"--seems dicey to copy and post the pic as well as, alternatively, to link to the auction showing the pic at the auction site; but will choose the latter offense: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pic-historic-Lo ... Sw4GVYNyCG . Can anyone tell me what film is being shot, and who the people are in the picture? It looks to me as if that's Ford Sterling with one arm akimbo and the other on someone's shoulder; and several of the other people strike me as being familiar faces (without names coming to mind).

Besides Vernon, the person all the way on the right with the mustache and his hands behind his back is Jimmy Aubrey. So it looks like this was taken during the shooting of one of Aubrey's early 1920s starring comedies for Vitagraph. Unfortunately don't have a postive i.d. for anybody else. Vernon was working on the Vitagraph lot in 1922 on Larry Semon's GOLF and A PAIR OF KINGS, so perhaps this is from around that time.

Thanks both, Tommie and Steve!

third from left standing with bushy mustache could be Hank Mann. The individual on extreme left in background with haircut appears to be Wallace Reid. Reid had started out in Vitagraph and was probably visiting which is why he's not in the group lineup but the camera caught him in costume (?for some picture) anyway.

Thanks! I suspected without much certainty that that might be Mann, who "discovered" Vernon Dent, if I'm not mistaken, and who paired with him in quite a number of shorts.sepiatone wrote:third from left standing with bushy mustache could be Hank Mann.
