These were (with their character names): Eddie Acuff (Roscoe Turner), Irving Bacon (Photographer) and George Ovey (Telegraph Operator).
The opening credits list "The Weaver Brothers and Elviry" as a group cast member, but the end credits lists the individual members of the group. The end credits were used in the IMDb listing.
