Advertising slide for Movie Star Dance (April 28, 1917) |


Have you figured them out yet?
Still scratching your head?

I'm stalling now, giving you time to think.
Seriously, you don't recognize any of them?
How about a list of their most recents films at the time of the dance?
- Susie, The Sleuth (April 16, 1917) [Vitagraph]
- Sleeping Fires (April 15, 1917) [Famous Players]
- The Hawk (April 23, 1917) [Vitagraph]
- God's Man (April 1917) [Frohman Amusement]
Give up?
The four stars identified thus far are: Pauline Frederick (top right), Antonio Moreno (bottom left), Edward Earle (bottom middle) and Earle Williams (bottom right).
And now the fun really begins! ...who are the other two? ...the women at the top left and center?
Solve the mystery by entering your answer as a comment below.
Please hurry, I'm dying to know.

The dance held in the Baltimore Lyric Theatre and was apparently quite the affair, including a "grand march" that preceded the festivities. Other participating stars not included in this slide were: Ethel Clayton, Anita Stewart, Carlyle Blackwell, Thomas Meighan, and Robert Warwick.
Undoubtedly a good time was had by all.

Damn, I KNOW Pauline Frederick and Antonio Moreno. Maybe the center top is Louise Glaum?
ReplyDeleteOooh rudyfan, I think you're on to something. It definitely looks like her nose, and the timeframe is spot on.
ReplyDeleteI knew all 4 you identified. Possibly top left is Norma Talmadge, but since she's in profile, it's hard to say. Louise Glaum is a good guess for the center.
ReplyDeleteI now believe that's Alice Brady on the left and Peggy Hyland in the center. The April 21, 1917 Moving Picture World says Edward Earle, Earle Williams, Antonio Moreno, Pauline Frederick, Alice Brady, Ethel Clayton, Peggy Hyland, Anita Stewart, Carlyle Blackwell, Thomas Meighan, and Robert Warwick will attend the ball.
