Fleischer Christmas Party Photo 1936

FleischerXmasDinner1936-550

Pardon me if this image (above) has been posted before and identified… I can’t recall if it has. I just received a large jpeg of this incredible photo – too large to post in one piece – of the attendees of Fleischer Studios Christmas Party in 1936. Can you identify any one in this picture. I see Max way in the back, I see Dave Tendlar… but who else is there? Jack Mercer? Izzy Sparber? Myron Waldman? Where?

I divided the large image into six pieces (below, click thumbnails to enlarge). Open them up and if you think you can attach a name to one of these faces, we’d love to know
