Folks, I'm not very familiar with old movie or music or dancing stars, so
I'm hoping someone with that knowledge can help me. My father was a
commercial illustrator in the late 1920s/early 1930s. My brother has a
large collection of the illustrations he made while a student, and just gave
me one of them with the hope that my son, who inherited his grandfather's
talents, could help in restoring this damaged drawing. My son asked if I
had any idea who the people might be. I don't know if they're actual famous
people from that era, or faces from my father's imagination. I wish I had
asked when my father was living but unfortunately I didn't. Can anyone here
ID these faces?

Thanks!
Liz

Try going to www.imdb.com and looking up the title of the movie. That
should help.
I tried to look but shutterfly was having issues. Told me that page was
unavailable right now.

Sharon, thanks for taking the time to help me. Unfortunately, I don't have
any idea whether these people were in the movies, much less what movie they
might have been in. One thing of note, however, is that under my father's
signature he added 3 musical notes, so I wonder if that means they were
singers, or maybe even Broadway performers. At any rate, I appreciate your
sending me the link as I noticed that they do have message boards. Perhaps
someone there will have an idea who these people are. Thanks again!

Liz,

There is also a Classic Movies forum - part of Delphi forums. I go there
from time to time and people there are always very helpful.

You maybe can try the free joining up of that forum.

Thanks, Katherine. I passed the info on to my son as it's now his project
since I no longer have the picture. I appreciate your taking the time to
help.
