I recently discovered Robert Emmett Dolan is my great Uncle on my mother's side. I have been trying to find a photo of him for our family collection but have been unable to. My mother's immediate family was not close with her mother's immediate family so this has all unfolded her lately. The picture below is a very good picture but due to the placement towards the right of the men standing up I am unable to tell which one is him. Would someone mind helping me?
Robert Emmett Dolan appears to be the smallish fellow standing fifth from the right.
Here is an update from Bruce Broughton that was added to one of the posts of the picture:
"To save you all time, here's the photo line-up: Seated L to R: Franz Waxman, Dimitri Tiomkin, Meredith Willson, Bramwell Coles, Earl Lawrence, Wm. Grant Still. Standing L to R: Abe Meyer, Leith Stevens, Wm. Broughton, Anthony Collins, John Green, Miklos Rosza, Victor Young, Werner Heymann, Leo Shuken, Arthur Bergh, Alex Steinert, Robert Emmett Dolan, Frank Skinner, Wilbur Hatch, Carlos Morales, Louis R. Lipstone

Meredith Willson was an admirer of the Salvation Army and its music. Bramwell Coles (pictured) ran the SA's International Music Dept in London; my grandfather ran the one on the west coast.
Intriguing that Broughton's grandfather was in the Sally Army. A friend of mine who's a composer has a dad who also ran a department, and my friend still plays (when not recording stuff, composing, or teaching) in a Sunday brass band in uniform. The SA's contribution to music is probably largely untold, but pretty vast.
