Olive Carey, who played Mrs. Jorgensen in 'The Searchers' from which your photo is taken (and who's door you show John Wayne as Ethan Edwards standing in at the movie's end) was, of course, wife of Harry Carey, a long time movie star who'd died a few years earlier. Mrs. Carey, in her role, had just ushered others into her house when Wayne paused outside on the porch. His hand over his right arm was a gesture that Harry Carey often affected. It has been said that Mrs. Carey cried when she turned to see Wayne standing in that pose. Carey was a longtime friend as well as mentor to John Wayne.
Harry Carey Jr. (Olive's son) of course was also in the movie; his role being that of her son Brad Jorgensen.
Apologies to all who disagree, but this was the finest Western ever made.
The Searchers was a great film.
