A question about the New York Premiere

On the DVD, an unedited newsreel from the New York premiere shows a number of celebrities speaking to microphone.

While I recognise Cliff Edwards, Jack Oakie, Harpo Marx and I think Kitty Carlisle, the others I cannot place.

Anyone know who they were?

In addition to the ones you mentioned, the first woman shown looks like Luise Rainer (although she doesn't sound the way I would imagine), then a young Ed Sullivan (who was a Broadway columnist for the New York Daily News at the time) after her.
