Photo taken in front of wagon #101, which was a wardrobe department wagon. Nice photo (even with the mud) of the red and blue pin strips on the wagon gear, which you don't get to see in the black and white photos. This is a rare color photo from the 1930's I would guess. p.j.

I think this is Elly Ardelty.

Always confused over what her birthday was. Ring of fame has it as 1906, but I think the CWM has it as 1915. JRN brings her over, and this photo, if it is her, looks like the 1915 birth year is correct.
If this photo is about 1939, then 1939-1915 = about 24 years old. If she was born in 1906 then, 1939-1906 = 33 years old. This photo looks like she is in her early 20's.
