Though it would appear our Blanche's middle initial was "J", if her marriage license/certificate and the 1930 Census are to be believed. I personally identified her appearances in A Sailor Papa, He Forgot To Remember and Going To Congress. Steve Massa (identification in The Bouncer) This page was last updated on: 31 December 2023
