Leo Gorcey Speaks!

We don't normally advertise products, especially since you're the only person who reads this blog regularly, but when we heard about the re-issue of Leo Gorcey's booze-fueled, self-published 1967 autobiography, we had to spread the word!

A first edition can cost $1000 -- only 1000 copies were printed, and to once again maximize profit, the re-issue is limited as well.

An Original Dead End Kid Presents Dead End Yells, Wedding Bells, Cockle Shells and Dizzy Spells should provide hours of entertaiment. Gorcey was indeed one of the original 'Dead End Kids' featured in the play and 1937 movie Dead End.

The 'Dead End Kids' became a movie franchise, and from 1937 to 1956 he starred in seven 'Dead End Kids' movies, 21 'East Side Kids' films, and in 41 'Bowery Boys' movies. That means Gorcey was still playing a teen-aged tough until he was almost 40.

Once read, we will post a review!
