Im pretty sure the midget in Sealskins (1932) with Thelma Todd/ Zasu Pitts is Clarence Howerton aka Major Mite. He played togheter with Tiny Lawrence in the Our Gang short Free Eats the Baby Thiefs.
Major Mite and the Midget Actor from Sealskins have both the same birthmark on right cheek.
IMDB says (falsely) that the midget was played by Harry Earles.

Also I doubt that Harry Earles played in Sailors Beware (1927) the Laurel/Hardy short. Sometimes the midget actor Looks like Harry Earles, but on close examination its clearly not him. I would like to know who it really is. Are there some production notes/papers left from Roach Studios to check ?
