Very interesting. Great research. But why the repeated difference in the spelling of the name?

A Times article from April 4, 1933, mentions that Ray Hallor escorted Jean Harlow (the same Jean Harlow who was spotted at the 7 Seas two years later) to a party at W.S. Van Dyke's house. Woody Van Dyke, of course, directed lots of pictures from the silent days through the 1940s, including "The Thin Man" series.

Van Dyke also directed some of the earliest South Seas movies:

White Shadows in the South Seas (1928) and: The Pagan (1929)

...and in Africa: Trader Horn (1931)
