I've come across this photograph several times on the internet. (I believe it might have been taken at Marion Davies' beach house)
Only a few are ever identified (several are pretty obvious, like Clark Gable)

several thoughts
Is #
6 really a nun? (I doubt it with all that make-up) -but if she
isn't a nun, she's the only person in full-on costume.
#
10 (with her arms around Clifton Webb) is very striking!
What's up with all the satin ribbons?
Who's hand, with the pointy finger, is that on Douglas Fairbanks right shoulder? I can't figure out which body it's attached to.
I'm really curious to find out who #
9 is. She resembles a dowager, but a younger version.
#
5 is quite striking as well.

update:
OK, I referred back to the larger photograph and the pointy fingered hand on Fairbank's shoulder has to belong to Clifton Webb.
