• This page where the photo is shown has no copyright information contained in its caption of "Celebrities Red Skelton and John Garfield cut the cake at a Birthday Ball, Washington, DC, January 29, 1944." The FDR Library has no information posted as to whether this photo was taken by a US government employee, so that license may be incorrect; I am licensing this as Pre-1978, with no copyright marks. File:Red Skelton birthday.jpg This Commons photo from NARA.gov appears to be from the same set.
