Commentary
In the first scan the man with the glasses is comic Eddie Dunn, and the woman with him is Ella McKenzie. Don't have any idea on the film though. Dunn's career goes back to Vitagraph in the 'teens, and in the late 1920s he went to Callifornia working for comedian Charlie Bowers. In 1929 he'd become a regular at the Hal Roach studio.
