The young lady to the far right looks like dancer/actress Cyd Charisse.
Her face is plumper than I’m used to seeing it… but; it sure looks like her.
The young lady (on left, behind the sign) looks like Dinah Shore (before she dyed her hair blonde).
The lady on the right of the sign looks like Ann Sheridan a little.
Kneeling on the right, looks like actor George Jessel.
The plane appears to be a BOAC DC-7C. (British Airways D7)
Fourth from left (upper row), looks like actor George Mongomery.
The man on the very top looks like Clark Gabel, theres a picture on his wikipedia page from WW2 that looks very similar
The man standing (2nd from left) looks like Howard Duff (the mustache could have been preparation for a movie part).
The lady standing to the left of the sign might be Gracie Allen.
Could the black man on upper right be Satchel Paige?
Could black man kneelin on left be Louie Armstrong?
The black man kneeling might be Bill Bojanles Robinson.
The lady behind the sign in on the right in the light colored suit looks like Judy Garland.
The young lady in light colored suit might be Ella Raines, because of the widows peak. There is another actress that this look like; but she was more of a B movie actress and I can’t recall her name.
The gentleman second from the left is my grandfather, Lawrence Phillips, who was the Executive Director of Camp Shows during WWII.
Is there an archive for camp shows during world war 2. A friend who just passed recently was in a camp show called Hell-za-poppin and Pardon Me, her name was Joyce Breazeale. A time life article was written about that show, and came out in november 12,1945
