I just came across this December obituary piece in the Telegraph, thought it might be of a little interest as Miss Castle, briefly a Fox contractee, appeared as El Brendel's niece in MR. LEMON OF ORANGE and made a brief stop at Sennett for FALSE IMPRESSIONS, also working in some Educational and Vitaphone shorts before marrying a British noble and residing in a castle of her own:

I have Joan Castle credited in the casts of:

HERE, PRINCE (Vitaphone, 10/1/32) with Joe Penner
I KNOW EVERYBODY AND EVERYBODY'S RACKET (Universal, 1/33) with Walter Winchell
WRONGORILLA (Vitaphone, 3/4/33) with Jack Haley
LAUGHS IN THE LAW (Vitaphone one-reeler, 10/21/33) with Don Coleman and Hugh Cameron
FRESH FROM THE FLEET (Educational, 4/24/36) with Tom Patricola and Buster West
GOLD BRICKS (Educational, 3/20/36) with Bert Lahr

There are a number of the Vitaphone shorts from 1931-33 with pretty spotty credits, so she may be in some more of those.

I wonder who she is supposed to be in FALSE IMPRESSIONS? It says she "joined Sennett stalwarts Dorothy Granger and Marjorie Beebe" in it, but they are the two female leads and there aren't any other female roles on that level. And most of the others are accounted for in my book, unless she was acting under a different pseudonym. She might be one of the extras who are servants posing as society people while their employers are on vacation.

My guess, and it's only a guess, is that she's not in FALSE IMPRESSIONS, and that it's another IMDB error that circulates. I checked your filmography, Brent, and you have a "Jean Castle" listed among the bit players in this film, perhaps this person was just confused with Joan Castle somewhere along the way. It's rather unlikely that Joan Castle would be a featured player at Fox in 1931 and in the background in a Sennett two reeler in 1932.
