P.S. Actually (according to altfg.com), the whole line-up is: Edith Gwynne Wilkerson (wife of Trocadero owner Billy Wilkerson), Jean Harlow, William Powell, William Haines‘ lover Jimmy Shields (standing), Anderson Lawler, unidentified man (standing), Haines, Edith’s sister Marge. (Anderson Lawler was a Paramount Pictures actor and the rumored paramour of Gary Cooper, but I digress.)
P.P.S.
The "unidentified man" is Wm Wilkerson (1890-1962), the owner of the Tracadero. Here he is at the club with Cary Grant

Besides the Tracadero, Wilkerson owned Vendome and Ciro's. He founded the Hollywood Reporter and the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.
Wilkerson also owned the Arrowhead Springs Hotel, here photographed by C.C. Pierce in 1938 just to bring that full circle.
