Happy Boithday to Leo Gorcey!

It's Leo Gorcey's "boithday" and the Bowery Boys prove themselves to be a "swell buncha rats" who lavish him with presents that all look suspiciously as though they came from a back-alley boutique. The cream of the crop is heralded as a "genuine B-flat bugle."
"Why'd ya get me a flat one?," asks Leo, trying to repress his true "sediments".
Enter the gang's arch rivals, the dread Cherry Street Gang who, led by Billy Benedict, are there to give Leo a collective present -- his birthday butt-whooping!

How old were they when they played in these movies?

The clip is from "Clancy Street Boys" (1943), one of their funnier efforts. However, adding that annoying laugh track to this clip was a mistake.

Ugh! The canned laughter and shoud effects RUINED that clip. I love The Bowery Boys and I'm glad for all your posts from the documentary, but who thought that adding FX to their scenes would help? What a shame.
