Actor John Ince (1878) was the oldest of the acting Ince Brothers. After a stage career that went back into the 19th century, he moved to the screen and was briefly a leading man. He moved to directing in 1915 and remained there until talkies started in the late 1920s. He then chose to return to in front of the cameras and remain a character player for the next two decades. His final appearance was in KEY LARGO in 1949. His appearance in a Weidler film was as another of the many men in the train station in YOUNG TOM EDISON (1940).  The photo is from his more dashing days.

Character actor Gus Glassmire (1879) made two appearances with Ginny, playing an objector in OUTSIDE THESE WALLS (1939) and ineffective orphan’s court lawyer Henry Brown in FIXER DUGAN (1939). Gus made it into some pretty good films, MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON, THE MORTAL STORM, ABE LINCOLN IN ILLINOIS, and SABOTEUR top the list. He’s seen here with an unidentified actor as the judge, possibly Roger Hunt (?), in his one scene in FIXER DUGAN.

Howard Shoup (1903) was often just billed as Shoup. A costume designer known for his gowns, he briefly left Warners for MGM and designed the gowns for two Ginnyfilms, BORN TO SING (1942) and THE AFFAIRS OF MARTHA (1942). The movie poster shows Virginia as Patsy Eastman wearing a Shoup original. Shoup wasn’t responsible for the massive pompadour.

Joe Sawyer (1906) played a lot of soldiers, cops and hoods.  Since he spent most of his career at Warners and Ginny didn’t they were fortunate to have appeared in the same film twice, two of Virginia’s early efforts- SURRENDER (1931) and STAMBOUL QUEST (1934). They were both typecast, Sawyer playing a soldier each time and Ginny playing a little girl.
