I noticed some of you all were looking for pictures of some of the actors on the Bear. Unfortunately, I can't get any that were taken during production. And some of the folks, well, it's difficult to find pictures of them. Here are the ones I could find:

Remember that the Bear was done purposely anonymously. Someone way back in 1937 knew that some armchair historians (like this tuba playing English teacher living in Mindanao) would be trying to figure out who all the cast was. These might all be wrong.
Almost the entire cast of the Decca album, "Dicken's Christmas Carol", is represented here! Barbara Jean Wong, Cy Kendall, Hans Conreid, Gale Gordon... just about everyone but Ronald Colman.
ReplyDeleteRonald Colman wasn't on this show.
