Enjoy,

Check this video and tell me if I am seeing things or not, from the Warner Brother archives, 1945. You need to freeze the video at :43 and look at the 3rd violinist from the left and tell me who it looks like. Then freeze it at 5:09 and look at the 2nd violinist from the right and tell me who that looks like. Check the video before you look at my answers below.

I think the first one resembles a young Jack Benny and the second one looks like Donald O'Conner; or am I seeing things?

Yes, you are seeing things. Jack Benny was not very accomplished on the violin. Certainly not enough to play in a symphony orchestra. Did the 2nd violinist dance?

Yes, Donald O'Conner did dance and I believe he was a redhead.
