Update: Our mystery fellows are comedians Ole Olsen, right, and Chic Johnson, 1934.

Feb. 28, 1962, Chic Johnson

Feb. 28, 1962: Chic Johnson dies in Las Vegas at the age of 70. In a sidebar, Olsen quoted the farewell from their routine: “I said to the audience ‘May you live as long as you want’ and he would say ‘May you laugh as long as you live.’ I guess that was sort of our motto."

Jan. 27, 1963: John Sigvard "Ole" Olsen dies in Albuquerque at the age of 71.

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 reward is bragging rights.

The answer to last week's mystery star: Daniel Frohman!

There's more photos on the jump!

Here’s one of our mystery fellows, with another mystery dog and … is that a gun? Please congratulate David Warheit, Gerald McCann, Jenny M and Periwinkle for identifying our mystery folks.
