      After he snookers Louie out of the hundred bucks during the first séance routine to help out Mrs. Parelli, Slip winds up collecting two hundred dollars from Madame Zola. If you watch the scene, you'll see that he got his own hundred bucks back for Louie, and Mrs. Parelli got her hundred dollars too. (The second $100 was for Mrs. Parelli's previous visit.)

    Better than usual Bowery Boys **

    GHOST CHASERS turns out to be a well-paced comedy, and a little better than usual. It involves Slip, Sach and the gang trying to expose a phony clairvoyant (or"clairvoyage," to quote the ever-prolific Leo Gorcey). Good fun all around, with some humorous assistance added courtesy of Bernard Gorcey (Leo's dad) as Louie Dumbrowski.

    This is my favorite period for The Bowery Boys films (1946-1956), which was the point where they became all-out comedies. Unfortunately, as of this writing, there are no DVDs planned. Hopefully, Warner Bros. will put them out very soon.

    **1/2 / ****
