  13. Is it Luise Rainer aka "The Viennese Teardrop"?

    ReplyDelete

  15. Mata Hari kicking off the previously suggested villain week?

    ReplyDelete

    It is not Mata Hari, but I like the guess.
    It is not Louise Brooks
    It is not Luise Rainer

  17. It's relatively late in the day for this to remain unsolved. Where's Nate? Or... did PJM misplace his phone booth necessary to change identities?

    ReplyDelete

  18. Sorry. Nate looked for a time this morning and realized he had too much to do. I'm pretty sure I've never seen this photo and I didn't turn up anything good when I was searching today. It's a really neat looking photo. I'll have to leave this to someone else. If I were to keep guessing, I'd assume it's a actress/singer/dancer on a set. The outfit doesn't look oriental to me, perhaps Hungarian, but maybe just yesteryear misunderstanding what Oriental outfits were supposed to look like. The box also doesn't look Far Eastern to me, the round inserts make me wonder if this is supposed to be a combo makeup/jewelry case.

    Anyway, if this photo has you stumped too, you're welcome to give a go at the one on my site starting in half an hour. My apologies if it just adds to the frustration - it's just intended for fun.

  20. I doubt this is right, but I'll throw it out there: is it a very young Margaret Hamilton?

    ReplyDelete

  22. Norma Shearer the first lady of MGM? :)

    ReplyDelete

  23. Lillian Langry? (If it's not PJM it SHOULD be! After all you are in Texas home of Judge Roy Bean who Adored Lilly Langry.)

    ReplyDelete

  24. It is not Lillian Gish

    It is not argaret Hamilton

    I feel my victory breakfast is all but assured at this point.

  25. It is not:

    Margaret Hamilton
    Indira Gandhi
    Norma Shearer

  26. Hope it's not too late.
    Could it be Natasha Rambova aka Winifred Hudnut, aka Mrs. Rudolph Valentino?
    And oh, yes, great photos this week. I really enjoyed them!

    ReplyDelete

  27. It is NOT:

    Natasha Rambova aka Winifred Hudnut, aka Mrs. Rudolph Valentino.

    The game continues.

  28. I know!

    Is it Mrs. PJM?

    :)

    ReplyDelete

  29. No, it would not be Mrs. PJM

    Funny guess though.

    ReplyDelete

  33. Okay, I'm stumped. Nate's comments about the box are incorrect, I think. It looks to me that she is supposed to be a psychic or fortune teller in this photo. She has tarot cards.

    ReplyDelete

  34. I'll try again. Is it Florence Lee?

    ReplyDelete

  35. Not Florence Lee.

    Perhaps I should begin gathering ingredients for the Crepe Breakfast?

    PJM

    ReplyDelete

  36. What are your plans for your victory breakfast? You have me stumped!

    ReplyDelete

  39. A very young Joan Crawford?

    ReplyDelete

  40. Is it a photo of Pola Negri?

    ReplyDelete

  41. It is NOT:

    Pola Negri
    Joan Crawford
    Natacha Rambova
    Gloria Swanson

    The game continues.

  42. Is it Norma Talmadge?

    ReplyDelete

  43. Good Morning to all

    Is it Fanny Brice ????

    ReplyDelete

  44. Okay, I've got to stop staring at this person, she's starting to look like a wax figure to me.

    ReplyDelete

  45. This is my first post though I've followed your site for a very long time and enjoyed looking at the pictures you post, and reading the comments.

    Is this lady Barbara Lamar

    ReplyDelete

  46. Lets put a little humor in this. Betty Boop

    ReplyDelete

  47. Good Morning all again

    Another guess

    Is it Ruth St.Denis

    ReplyDelete

  49. Oh my, it is NOT:

    Norma Talmadge
    Is it Fanny Brice
    Barbara Lamar
    Betty Boop
    Ruth St.Denis

    Would strawberry preserves or jam be better on Crepes?

    PJM

    ReplyDelete

  50. Florence Turner first actress to sign a long term contract with a studio.

    ReplyDelete

  51. Good guess, Florence Turner.

    As for Mr. PJM, definitely strawberry preserves (if you get that far :)

    ReplyDelete

  54. It is not Florence Taylor, It is not Anna Pavlova, It is not Maria Nikolaevna Romanova.

    I think proper crepes call for the batter to be mixed the evening before cooking them. Better go mix some up.]

  66. How about Marceline Day or Laura La Plante?

    Perhaps she has nothing to do woth this week's theme.

    ReplyDelete

    PJM

    ReplyDelete

  68. Ok, how about Leatrice Joy?
    Or Lila Lee?

    ReplyDelete

  69. Joe is persistent, I will give him that.

    It is not Leatrice Joy
    nor Lila Lee.

    I will go to bed soon, and dream of my victory Breakfast.

    Joan Bennett?
    Claudette Colbert?

    ReplyDelete

  73. OMG, it IS Harpo Marx!

    ReplyDelete

  74. Ah well, Dorothy Parker was a very wild guess indeed!

    ReplyDelete

  75. Enjoy your victory breakfast..you have stumped us once again:)

    ReplyDelete

  76. Hi again PJM and all

    Is it Olive Cole

    ReplyDelete

  77. GAME OVER!!!!

    I am the winner.

    It is Stacia Napierkowska, an actress from the days of silent films, and a dancer.

    PJM Wins!!!!

    ReplyDelete

  78. Congratulations. Enjoy your breakfast.

    ReplyDelete

  79. Now that was a good victory PJM! Silent film was my guess and is where I did most of my searching, never coming up with that actress! At as far as I can recall anyway. My eyes are still bleeding from this! The fact that women can look so different from one pic to the next made it all the more difficult. Hairstyles, coloring, make up, lighting and costuming can sure make them look like and entirely different person!

    Congradulations!
