Peter Lorre and Jack Benny

Two favorites! Alas, I have only this half of a magazine spread (and I don't even know what magazine it came from). Jack is searching for an actor to stand in for him, looks like:

He thinks Gary Cooper should be taller, Gig Young should have more talent, and Peter Lorre, arriving sans hat, doesn't match up to Jack's "well-dressed" tag! (And I wish I knew where these pictures were actually taken from.)

Peter Lorre is a guest star in this Jack Benny radio episode, "I Stand Condemned" from March 24, 1946. Skip to 14:56 or so for the play within a play and Peter's luscious voice:

And then watch Peter Lorre in this Jack Benny TV episode from Jan 22, 1963! (He cracks Jack up.)

Here's a picture of Jack because he too was a gorgeous man:

JACK BENNY PROGRAM

Jack Benny (born Benjamin Kubelsky February 14, 1894 - December 26, 1974) was an American comedian, vaudevillian, and actor for radio, television, and film. Widely recognized as one of the leading American entertainers of the 20th century, Benny was known for his comic timing and his ability to get laughs with either a pregnant pause or a single expression, such as his signature exasperated "Well!" His radio and television programs, tremendously popular in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, were a foundational influence on the situation comedy.
