Help In Identifying Actor

[kds99]

Can anyone identify this actor, Paramount, 1936?

Might be John Boles.

It looks like a background actor in a period piece.

John Barrymore

That is a still from the movie, Peter Ibbetson.

Wow, good call.  I thought he had a Barrymore nose, but also figured he would look a lot older in 1936.

But Peter Ibbetson  was a stage play and not a movie.

It was both a play and a film, as well as a novel. Barrymore was in the play, not the film. The play opened in 1917. The film opened in 1935. Barrymore would have been much older by then. Not sure why Paramount has that 1936 on there, other than studios pretty much owned the actors back then.

BTW, I saw some other pics in which Barrymore had facial hair for that part so I don't know which is the correct attribution.

The 1935 Paramount film Peter Ibbetson starred Gary Cooper. The photo is not Gary Cooper, so I doubt the image is from Peter Ibbetson.

If the photo is John Barrymore (1882-1942), it's probably from one of his 1920s films. Identifying the actress would help.

Google image search is your friend.
