 * Symbol confirmed.svg 855 char on 31 August 5503 char on 3 Dec (855*5=4275)/long enough. Nominated on same day expansion ceased/new enough. In-line citations, neutral, no apparent copyvios. No image. QPQ done. All hooks under 200 maximum. Not sure about the wording of the first hook. Text says Major Bowes renamed the group as does the source, so it would seem Bowes turned them into the Hoboken Four. On the other two hooks, thank you for including all the sources. 2 films were made, but the Leigh source says Bowes made a short with the 3 Flashes and Sinatra after hearing about that appeared in his debut in The Nightclub and in blackface in The Big Minstrel Act. It doesn't say the Flashes were in either film. The Turner source just says the Flashes and Sinatra appeared in 2 shorts. But the Freedland source says all four were in The Nightclub and The Big Minstrel Act. Turner confirms it was at Radio City, so you are GTG on either of ALT1 or ALT2.
