Thanks for the re- linkage!
I did a quick little dipsydoo into the Dead End Kids from “Angels with Dirty Faces.”

Baggie, here is a little low lying fruit about the Dead End Kids. Some definitely led colorful lives. Some abused drugs and alcohol - which could cause speculation, and possible cause for further digging if one felt so motivated. But I did not see anything particularly indicative of the sexual abuse which we fear kids in Hollywood were and are subjected to, but I did not dig deep.
Punsly escaped Hollywood and became a doctor - never having had any acting ambition. Downing and Morris died early. Burkes mini biographer notes that he had a 20 year whereabouts unknown period. Knowlden is still with us, and wrote her own bio clip.
There was a strange connection I saw when I read the bio of Huntz Hall:
***HOLD ON TO YOUR HAT HERE, BAGGIE! REMEMBER BEING RELUCTANT TO OBSERVE MY BEATLES ST. PEPPERS ALBUM COVER BUNNY HOLE? FEAST YOUR EYEBALLS ON THIS:
“He is pictured on the cover of The Beatles’ 1967 album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (2 to the left of Bob Dylan).”***
And so it all comes together.
The circle is complete.
Now, if we can only find out who the Walrus REALLY is.!!!!
