Can we have a close-up? I can't see their wee little faces!

Hmmmm. He looks like Francis X. Bushman, Jr., and she looks like Mary Pickford--but they never made a movie together, so at least one of those is wrong. Unless that's a candid of Francis X. Bushman, Jr., and Mary Pickford having an affair, and Doug's spy is in the background taking notes.

The man is Ralph Bushman, a.k.a. Francis X. Bushman, Jr. If this is a candid photo rather than a scene the lady may be his wife Beatrice Dante.

Something about the mystery stalker's "tilt" reminds me of Charley Chase.

William Hearst & Marion Davies

I think that might be Ralph Bushman (aka Francis X. Bushman Jr.). Dunno about the dame, so I'll take a wild guess and say Mary Brian. As for the stalker....hmmm...I'll say it's Mary Miles Minter's mother, in male drag.

Ralph Forbes?

Hip shooting: Neil Hamilton and Gloria Swanson on location at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. It was once the home of the AFI. What fun to have the run of the grounds when working on a project for the Institute.

Helen Hayes?

Could it possibly be Alan Hale Sr.?

It's been a while since I've played your wonderful mystery game, but I'll take a shot: Francis X. "Mr. Messala" Bushman
The petite mystery companion might be his ex-wife Beverly Bayne

Is this his daughter Barbara?

Going out on a limb here, but is this Elmo Lincoln?
Posted by: hockeykevin | March 10, 2011 at 08:03 AM
This could be Barbara Bushman his daughter.

Max Baer Sr.?

Wonder if that might be Barbara Bushman Morgan, Ralph's daughter, who is now 85 and married to actor Harry Morgan? (They were in the news in 1996 when Harry was arrested for smacking her).

His father Francis X. with Jayne Mansfield.

From Thursday is it Barbara Bushman (later Barbara Bushman Quine, future wife of actor Harry Morgan) and Ralph Bushman?
For Friday it looks like Francis X. Bushman on the left and Jayne Mansfield in the center. I can't place the gentleman on the right.

Here is dad Francis X. Bushman with Jayne Mansfield.
Posted by: MIKE HAWKS | March 11, 2011 at 09:34 AM
Is the mystery star Ralph Everly Bushman? The little girl is perhaps his daughter Barbara and the final picture is his father Francis X. Bushman and Jayne Mansfield.

Jayne Mansfield, aka Miss Grapefruit, between the 2 lucky stiffs in the last photo.
Posted by: benito | March 11, 2011 at 10:17 AM
I'll bet one or two people will guess the lady is Jayne Mansfield.
