Assistance Needed to Identify c.1920s Universal Toy panels

I believe the other actor is William Farnum.

One thing that I saw was if the fourth picture for the player with the "P" cap is Grover Cleveland Alexander, the last year that GCA played for the Phillies was 1917. However, Lee Meadows did not start playing for the Phillies until 1919, and Dave Bancroft did not start for the Giants until 1920. Therefore, not sure if this issue can be extended to be called 1917-23 Universal Toy or whether that picture for GCA was used on cards after 1917.

I believe the mis-aligned cap for Alexander can be attributed to the fact that the Universal toy card was probably taken from the e220 photo of Old Pete,which shows him in an old Phillies uniform. If you review this thread:
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=92515
you'll see a four-on-one Universal Toy card for Alexander that came directly from the E220 action pose, and the head shot here seems to be just a cropped and enlarged version of that same photo. Borrowing from E220, the card creators here apparently just forgot to do their homework and change the cap.

The Meadows card is derived from the E220 photo also, as Brian showed, and depicts him in a uniform not worn by the Phillies until 1921. Bancroft too is shown in a Giants uniform not worn until 1921. So it seems that nothing from the cards in this thread warrants a finding that the set was issued as far back as 1917, IMO.

Yep, Lee Meadows, though he and Specs could have been separated at birth from the looks of them.

Here are pictures of a couple of these cards uncut.
