I can only come up with Tommy and Peggy: who were in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, respectively but I think it was Fred or Bert or one of those every third guy in the 30s was named types...

Usually I'm not too good at exact years, but you've been doing well in giving at least one event that cinches it for me. I'm kind of a Jean Harlow aficionado, so that's the one that gave it to me today!
