East Side Kids, the 1940 Bob Hill New York City gang war
romantic crime thriller starring Vince Barnett, Dennis Moore, Leon Ames, Joyce
Bryant, and "The Original East Side Kids" Hal E. Chester (billed as
"Hally Chester"), Harris Berger, Frankie Burke, Donald Haines, and
Eddie Brian. Apparently, this movie was Monogram Pictures' attempt to cash in
on the huge success of "Dead End" and its sequels, and they cast
Harris Berger, who had replaced Huntz Hall in the stage production of
"Dead End" when Hall went to Hollywood, and they also cast Frankie
Burke, who had played the young James Cagney in "Angels with Dirty
Faces", apparently so that audiences would feel that this new cast of kids
were somewhat recognizable, and they had the nerve to bill them as "The
Original East Side Kids", although that didn't really mean anything. It is
ironic that later on, Monogram picked up the "Dead End Kids" series
after the major studios had lost interest, and called them the "Bowery
Boys", and had great success with that series. Please note : The poster that you will receive will not show the watermark M M for Memorabilia Mine. The second image shows the actual poster .
