In old movies it can be hard to identify actors sometimes if you don't already know. They had the studio system and each studio usually had their own version of the popular actors of the day and they look alike.

Here is an example

3rd guy on left

Some think Bob Hope. I thought earlier it could be Dick York. Now I'm adding Jack Lemmon to the list of possibilities.

The guy behind the 'fifth from the left' MUST be Groucho

You guys did a good job of nailing most of them, even though some questions remain. Berle could play pool. He hung around the New York poolrooms as a kid and did some hustling. Al Sunshine told me he could play. Fats was a good friend of his as well.

Still wondering if the gent on the left is Slamming Sammy Sneade. It sure does look like him. Friend of mine (who has now past away) was one of Sneade's best'est friends and toured around with Sammy when they were young and out hustling the golf world,,sorta a coincidence they had to do that to make money back then, isn't it, The old gent refereed to above John Yeman and was called Slickem Yeman, He would do golf clinics around the area here in Southwest Va and had one hell of a repertoire of Golf trick shots, he would perform. I used to bend elbows with him at the local Elks lodge and listen to the stories about he and Sneade being on the road together and running around taking down scores and all comers,

Yes, I get a lot of that. For awhile, back in the 70's, I'd get, "Are you related to Ed Figueroa, the Yankee's pitcher?" A few years back, I had a brief flurry of association with Nelson Figueroa, a pitcher for the Mets.

I'd be at the pool room and, as I am located in Cardinal Nation, the game would be on the big screen TV. We're playing the Mets. I am trying to practice and Joe Buck -- the Cardinal's broadcaster, whom I can normally ignore -- pierces my brain with, "Figueroa winds up and it's a strike." I miss.

I set up a tricky back cut I've been working on and Buck intones, "Figueroa was just recently called up from the minors." I jaw the ball.

So I try to work on my banks. And Buck puts one right down the middle of my central cortex, "Figueroa puts one in tight and hits Pujols!"

I order a beer and watch the rest of the game.

Went to Tin Eye, to see where it may have been posted before. Out of 27.5B pictures/images, it came up with nothing.It does appear to be Milton Berle and the guy next to him is also an actor that I've seen on several other movies....the rest, your guess is as good as mine
