Who is also in this picture with Mickey Rooney, Edsel Ford and Harvey Firestone?

In the group picture is Mickey Rooney, Edsel Ford and Harvey Firestone sitting together.

Now between Ford and Firestone is a gentleman who I cannot identify.
Anyone have a clue who that might be in the single photo pic?

Thanks for any and all responses.

Waldo?

I though it was Frank Murphy, but I just google imaged him and it's not. Sorry.

Charles Kettering?

Looks like my grandpa, but he was just a unionizer who would have 'Punched Ford in da Nose' if he was ever that close to him.

Probably at Greenfield Village as part of filming the Thomas Edison movie Rooney starred in.

What about the lady with the hat on sitting behind everybody in the group pic? She looks quite pleased to be there.

It looks like a rail car

On February 11, 1940, on what would have been the 93rd birthday of Thomas Edison, Mickey Rooney and MGM came to Port Huron for a special premier of the movie
Young Thomas Edison.

This was the train car of Detroit and Hollywood celebrities [[and entertainment paparazzi) that took the train from Detroit up to Port Huron for the movie premier... and followed the historic route that Thomas Edison took when he worked the Mt. Clemens to Port Huron route. Tied into this movie premier was a visit to Menlo Park and Smith Creek Station... all at Greenfield Village.

Also... the woman sitting next to Louis B. Mayer is Fay Bainter, the actress who played Thomas Edison's mother... Nancy Edison.

I saw a forgettable Mickey Rooney movie years back. The only part I remember is where he flies to Detroit and we were treated to an aerial view of City airport still relatively rural.

I don't remember seeing any other Detroit scenes so I am guessing that was some B roll footage and the rest of the film was shot in Hollywood. Anyone know about that film. Maybe it relates to this picture.

RIP to both of those child mega stars who passed this year.
