Movie Star Mystery Photo

 

Los Angeles Times file photo Update: Paul Lukas in a 1927 photo. Update: As many people guessed, this is Paul Lukas. Above, Lukas' obituary, Aug. 17, 1971. Just a reminder on how this works: I post the mystery photo on Monday and reveal the answer on Friday ... or on Saturday if I have a hard time picking only five pictures -- sometimes it's difficult to choose. 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 mystery star: Trixie Friganza! Los Angeles Times file photo Lukas in "Little Women." Here's another picture of our mystery guest. Please congratulate "Laura" fan Waldo Lydecker, who correctly identified him. Photograph by the Los Angeles Times Lukas and Deputy Dist. Atty. Percy Hammon discuss the conspiracy trial of Vilma Aknay and Sari Fedak over a lawsuit against playwright Ernest Vajda. Here's another photo of our mystery star with a mystery companion! Please congratulate Alexa Foreman, Elsie, Carmen, Claire Lockhart, Joan Myers, Zooey, Nick Santa Maria, Bob Birchard, Lee Ann Bailey and Paul Cardinal for recognizing him! Los Angeles Times file photo Update: Lukas greets Thomas Mann and his wife at Warner Bros., Oct. 5, 1943.  Many people have identified our mystery guest, including Eve Golden, Michael Ryerson and Tony Lucia. Who are his mystery companions?   Los Angeles Times file photo Lukas in a photo published Aug. 16, 1971.

Paul Lukas appeared on TCM earlier this week, playing -- of all people -- Philo Vance, the "society sleuth" portrayed by William Powell, Basil Rathbone and several others:
