Patricia Patterson (1910-1978) made more than 20 films, including Charlie Chan Goes to Egypt.

Charles Boyer (1899-1978) appeared in more than 80 films between 1920 and 1976, including his celebrated performance in Gaslight (1944). The playwright Henri Bernstein (1876-1953) was associated with Boulevard Theatre. Boyer had appeared in leading roles of several film adaptations of Bernstein's plays, including Orage (1938), the film adaptation of this play (in which Boyer is listed on the cast list). The printed dedication reads: "Au grand acteur qui fut, tant de soirs, sur la scène du Gymnase, à Charles Boyer son ami H. B."
