 DEAD END KIDS & LITTLE TOUGH GUYS - www.ezboard.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In 1938, Universal asked Warners for a loan of the kids to appear in a film called LITTLE TOUGH GUY; Warners wouldn't allow Leo Gorcey to go, perhaps trying to separate him from the gang and groom him as a new Cagney, but the other five made the trip.
Further Little Tough Guy films were made sans any of the Dead End Kids, until Warners dropped the troupe from its payroll in 1939.
Dell, Halop, Hall, and Punsly went back to Universal for more Little Tough Guys programmers (now billed as "The Dead End Kids and Little Tough Guys") while Leo Gorcey and Bobby Jordan went to Monogram to film EAST SIDE KIDS (to be joined by some of the other Dead End Kids later in the series).

 Definition of Billy Halop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
After several years as a well-paid radio juvenile, Billy was cast as Tommy Gordon in the Broadway production of Sidney Kingsley's Dead End (1935), where thanks to his previous credentials he was accorded star status.
A long-standing rivalry between Halop and fellow Dead-Ender Leo Gorcey (both actors wanted to be the leader of the gang) led to Billy's breakaway from the Dead End Kids and its offspring groups, the East Side Kids and the Bowery Boys, though Halop briefly starred in Universal's "Little Tough Guys" films.
After serving in World War II, Halop found that he'd grown too old to be effective in the roles that had brought him fame; at one point he was reduced to starring in a cheap "East Side Kids" imitation at PRC studios, Gas House Kids (1946).
