We note child actor call Bennie Bartlett who was born in Independence, Kansas during
1927. Another source says 1924 so we need to confirm this. We do not know much about him. He was also known as Benny. He was not only an actor, but was a musician, singer and music composer, as well. He had 15 songs published by the age of 9 years, quite an accomplishment. His film career included 32 movies between 1935 and 1942. Many of his film parts were small parts and not the main character in the movie. We note him in the film "Three Married Men" (US, 1936). Other roles were "The Great Man Votes" (US, 1939) and "Thank Your Lucky Srars" (US, 1942). He played "Butch" in the Bowery Boys movies. He retired from show biz to work in the insurance industry in Santa Barbara, California. He reportedly died December 26, 1999, in Redding, California.
