Humphrey Bogart proclaimed in 1950. “If everyone in the world would take three ... bent earnestly over a notebook, smoking a pipe and drinking scotch, ..."

Looks like Bogie to me

Trying to narrow it down..

it is likely post "silent era" yet pre "techno-color era"

To the best of your knowledge was the pipe smoker married (even for a short period) to a famous blond hollywood star?

Eva Zeitlin, a 19-yearold junior who had never smoked a pipe before, was the winning co-ed, with a smoking record of half an hour. ...


Is the pipe smoker a professor?

No,you all failed to ID him.Another clue;In the 1950's some British TV shows
that had been successful in the U.K. were shown on American TV.One example
was "The Adventures of Robin Hood".This detective was seen on American TV
in the early-mid fifties.
