Screenshots (tap to enlarge):
1. Midshipmaid Gob (1932)
the only acting credits onscreen

When you watch this sequence (and it's less than 20 seconds), the short man does NOT look like he's younger. The tall one looks young, consistent with Nick's 1915 birth; Frank was born 1906.

1.5 To Beat the Band (1935)
Nick is uncredited onscreen despite his lengthy solo dance
