For those who don't know, James Andrew Bliedung a.k.a. John Beal, was born in Joplin, Missouri. The son of a department store owner and concert pianist, he began acting in school and church plays and decided to pursue it as a career following his B.S. degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania.

The more marquee-friendly stage moniker of "John Beal" came from the names of two close college friends.  You can read more about him at IMDb. 

The second image shows Beal with Croton's Fay Bainter and Jean Parker in The Arkansas Traveler 1938.
