[Update 2: Here’s our mystery stalker!] [Update: This is Francis X. Bushman Jr. and Alma Rayford in “Away in the Lead.” Evidently this is a lost film because there was almost no information on imdb about it. I updated the record as much as I was able, based on very slim clips in The Times. The mystery stalker could be Charles Clary, Gino Corrado or Billy Franey. ] Today, we have a very tall mystery guest, a petite mystery companion, a mystery stalker and a mystery fountain! Our friend Eve asks for a close-up. Here you go!
