Regarding the Tommy Atkins / Jerry Bensmiller debate, here are some factors that make me quite confident Tommy Atkins wasn't in "Bouncing Babies" or "A Tough Winter."

1. His name doesn't appear anywhere on the studio payroll ledgers. But Jerry's does, and specifically for just the weeks when "Bouncing Babies" and "A Tough Winter" were shot. (credit to Bob Demoss for that info)

2. Tommy would have been old enough to walk by the time of "Bouncing Babies." The tyke we see in that film is still crawling around.

3. We now have Jerry's personal info (credit to Jarvis). Jerry was born August 22, 1928, making him just under a year old at the time "Bouncing Babies" was being filmed. He and his parents were the only Bensmillers living in the L.A. County area in the late 1920s. He died in 1950 in a vehicle collision in Pittsburgh, only a year after having gotten married.
