Here is an interesting factoid about "Hally" (Hal E.) Chester that I didn't know until recently: he was a brother-in-law of Dead End Kid Gabriel Dell! It seems he married Gabe's sister, Ethel, in 1946, according to this blurb from the Corpus Christi Calle...

VERY very cool -- especially the Harry Worth. It was probably the one time he was ever ASKED for an autograph!

Just won this signed photo of "Hally Chester" on eBay last night. The seller couldn't make out the signature and had been listing it for a long time as "HALLY CHRISTE (?) HISPANIC TV or MOVIE ACTORS" (maybe because Hal and Bernard Punsly look like juvenil...

I wrote my thesis on Beast From 20,000 Fathoms. I cited Mr. Chester's company, Mascot Pictures, as a perfect model of the independent studios that overthrew the old Hollywood system. (PS - Crashout is brilliant).

If Mendie is alive, he's 93. Eugene would be 94. It's great if they're still alive. Anybody know for sure?

What about Mendie Koenig and Eugene Francis? IMDB says they're alive, but I don't know how reliable that is.

Thanks for the info. Inaccurate internet info has Eddie LeRoy alive as of 2009. So, are there any living Bowery Boys/Dead End Kids ? I remember when some imposters who claimed to be a member of "Our Gang"/"Little Rascals" would fool some reporter and g...

Tom, I just can't believe that Chester was as bad as you imply - after all, the obit says that he was a sociable man who loved parties
