This lady is Elsie Janis. I made a slight error when purchasing her photo. I thought I was buying a photo for War Nurse (1930), but the correct movie title is Women in War (1940). Geesch. And I wondered why it was so cheap.
Thumbing through a stack of stills I'd purchased in bulk, looking for a great find (i.e. a still from a Montgomery movie!), I thought the young man at the microphone looked familiar.
Taking a closer look ... hey, it's Joe DiMaggio. Since Joe did not make many movies (one) ... it was easy to determine the movie's name, Manhattan Merry-Go-Round (1937). I had to pat myself on the back with that ID. My big brother the sports nut did good.
A challenge for you ... Johnny Mack Brown is the star of the movie Against the Law (1934). He's the one wearing a uniform. Who is the "real" star in the photo? This guy was in a heck of a lot of movies.
