I am so sure that one of the department store owners, shown all the way to the right of the screen in the shot from the inside of the car, after the main characters have left the store and gotten into the car- that guy. I think he is Don Lockwood's speech coach in Singin in the Rain. Can anyone verify this?

Otherwise I know I've seen him somewhere... or maybe he's the "This is a TALKING PICTURE" guy?

The voice coach in Singing in the Rain was Bobby Watson. The other man you referred to is Julius Tannen and he was Mr Zimmerman in Christmas in July. Gr8 catch and gr8 eyesight!!

If memory serves me Tannen was the actor demonstrating talking pictures in the party scene
