Movie Star Mystery Photo

Los Angeles Times file photo Update: As three people guessed, this is Pauline Garon. Please congratulate Tom Ratliff, Annie Frye and R. Ahuna. Above, a still from "Man From Glengarry," 1922. 
Feb, 20, 1923: An ad for "Adam's Rib," with Pauline Garon. Just a reminder on how this works: I post the mystery photo on Monday and reveal the answer on Friday. To keep the mystery photo from getting lost in the other entries, I move it from Monday to Tuesday to Wednesday, etc., adding a photo every day. I have to approve all comments, so if your guess is posted immediately, that means you're wrong. (And if a wrong guess has already been submitted by someone else, there's no point in submitting it again). If you're right, you will have to wait until Friday. There's no need to submit your guess five times. Once is enough. The only prize is bragging rights. The answer to last week's photo: Phyllis Kirk. Check back next week for another mystery photo! | ||||||||

Jeez, You really pulled this one out of nowhere. I have no idea; but it looks like Blanche Sweet?

I'm going out on a limb here, but it looks like a really young Clara Bow, ca. 1923.

She resembles Esther Ralston

It seems very unlikely but could this very young lady be Iris Adrian.

norma shearer? (the right side of the photo doesn't seem to match up with the left- the lipline, & especially the pupil of her right eye)

I don't know -- at least based on this first photo -- but I'd like Pauline Garon ruled out.

I'm humbled.
