Nobody's Sweetheart dancer?

Right after Mae Johnson finishes "I LOST MY SUGAR IN SALT LAKE CITY" an unidentified man jumps in and dances to "You're Nobody's Sweetheart Now". Does anyone know the dancers of the period well enough to identify him?
... IMDB's cast listing includes Henry Phace Roberts (uncredited) without specifying his part; he's a dancer, but is he THAT dancer?
(Note: this isn't currently in the IMDB soundtracks listing; I'd live to add it if I can figure out who the dancer is)

I've been wondering who the woman singing "I Lost My Sugar' is. Thanks, so its Mae Johnson.

I've been wondering about the guy who jumps in as well. They did an awful disservice by not giving credits!

He did have some sweet moves like the riding one, but he did repeat himself a bit too.

As for repeating his dance moves...You see that among professional dancers today. I understand doing a series of 'combinations'; but too many different steps may
work better with music that moves at a much slower tempo. I have seen dancers trying to execute too many variations; and it made the piece look crazy and out of tempo/time/rhythm.
