The next three men in the front row to the right of Jerry Colonna and his large mustache look to be Edward Arnold, Pat O'Brien, and Bert Lahr.
Not sure I see Benny here; he probably missed the photo by driving around looking for free parking for his Maxwell.
The woman to the left of Edward Arnold looks like Martha Raye. Third woman to the right of Bert Lahr might be Claudette Colbert.
Looks like Colbert to me (and Davis).

The woman to the right of Benny looks like Mary Livingstone, his wife and professional partner, she who famously worked at the hosiery counter in the May Co on Broadway.

Could that be Dezi Arnaz in the light jacket behind Colbert?

But then there's this from 1942: http://myloc.gov/Exhibitions/hopefor...ryCaravan.aspx

LOL, not Davis after all (or Benny & Livingstone). This caption seems fairly reliable

Looks like Hedda Hopper/Charlotte Greenwood at the end of this section:

Grant near the center, Charles Boyer on the right?:
