Leon Ames (January 20, 1902 – October 12, 1993) was an American film and television actor. He is best remembered for playing father figures in such films as Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) with Judy Garland as one of his daughters, Little Women (1949), On Moonlight Bay (1951), and By the Light of the Silvery Moon (1953). The fathers whom Ames portrayed were often somewhat stuffy and exasperated by the younger generation, but ultimately kind and understanding. His most famous role came as DA Kyle Sackett from the film The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946).
Leon Ames was born Harry Wycoff on January 20, 1902, in Portland, Indiana, son of Charles Elmer Wycoff and his wife Cora A. De Moss.. Some sources list his original last name as "Wykoff" or "Waycoff", and in his early films, he acted under the name Leon Waycoff.
Ames made his film debut in Quick Millions (1931). During the 1940s, he was under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
Ames made his first radio appearance in January 1947 on Grand Central Station.
Wallace Ford (12 February 1898 – 11 June 1966) was an English born American stage, cinema and television actor. Usually playing wise-cracking characters, he combined a tough but friendly demeanor with a small but powerful build.
Born Samuel Jones Grundy in Bolton, Lancashire, England into a working-class family of limited means. At 3 years of age he was placed by his uncle and aunt, in whose care he had been, into a Dr. Barnardo's orphanage home as they were unable to maintain his upkeep along with their own several children. At the age of 7 he was shipped with a number of other children from a similar background out to Canada to be found new homes with farming foster families as a part of the British Empire's on-going programme to populate the Canadian territory, Samuel being adopted by a family in Manitoba. He was ill treated however and became a serial runaway, being resettled several times with different families by the Canadian authorities. According to his own account at the age of 11 he ran away for the last time and joined a vaudeville traveling troupe touring Canada called 'The Winnipeg Kiddies', where he acquired his initial training as a performer.
East Side or Eastside may refer to:
The East Side Kids were characters in a series of films released by Monogram Pictures from 1940 through 1945. Many of them were originally part of The Dead End Kids and The Little Tough Guys, and several of them later became members of The Bowery Boys.
When Samuel Goldwyn turned the play "Dead End" into a 1937 film, he recruited the original tough-talking kids from the play (Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, Bobby Jordan, Gabriel Dell, Billy Halop, and Bernard Punsly) to repeat their roles in the film. This led to the making of six other films starring The Dead End Kids. The most successful of these features were Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) with James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart, and They Made Me a Criminal (1939), starring John Garfield. Universal offered a competing series, under the Little Tough Guys brand name, featuring most of the same kids.
In 1940 producer Sam Katzman, noting the financial success of other tough-kid series, made the film East Side Kids using two of the 'Little Tough Guys', Hally Chester and Harris Berger. He added former Our Gang player Donald Haines, Frankie Burke, radio actor Sam Edwards, and Eddie Brian to round out the new team. The film served as a kind of "pilot" for a possible series of films, which were eventually made possible by this film's success.

My heart's been thirsty
My spirit's runnin' dry
And I think I feel a drop of rain
I see the lightning
Strikin' the sky
Sometimes a stone can bring a change
Now your love comin' back
Like the water all around me
This feelin' here inside
Is risin like a tide to the sea
Take me away on the river of love
I wanna go where you go
Take me away on the river of love
Just let me roll with the flow
On the river of love
Now I don't worry 'bout
what's round the bends
As long as you're by my side
My destination is right where I am
I'm just enjoyin' the ride
When I needed your love
It rained down from above me
Now I'm over my head
And i can feel it set me free
Take me away on the river of love
I wanna go where you go
Take me away on the river of love
Just let me roll with the flow
On the river of love
Ooooh yeah, on the river of love
