[78-L] Duke Ellington on film, 1925?

[David Lennick]

The pianist in the still looks a bit like Duke to me..also looks like Jamie 
Foxx..I'm seeing only the still, not the film.

I can't make hide nor hair out of the guy at the piano - it's like searching for the gunman hidden in the trees on the grassy knoll. You want to see him, so you do. Anyone better able to identify Duke here? I'm not convinced.
