The First Noel
As correctly pointed out by my twin sister Jean on her second guess, the answer to the 1931 mystery girl question is Noel Neill, who played Lois Lane in The Adventures of Superman. Noel, who is one of the nicest people ever put on this planet or any other, was also Lois in the Superman serials with Kirk Alyn.
Here is Noel in 1935, age 14, and in 1940…
… and here’s Noel in 1938, after she was a dancer, when she was a singer, and before she was an actress, with somebody whom I hope you recognize. Hint: he died in 1977, after Elvis and after Groucho.
And finally, let’s watch Noel in a memorable scene with George Reeves, from “The Wedding of Superman.”
