Tony Pastor was born in 1837, so he would have been much older than Gordon MacRae.

However, actors are not required to be the same chronological age as persons they portray. Age is just a number, and after all, they are *acting*.

The strict censorship in force when the film was made prevented the accurate depiction of female pregnancy, which makes the revelation that eldest sister Katie O'Grady (played by Marcia Mae Jones) is expecting twins (actually triplets, as revealed in the film's finale), faintly ridiculous given that she retains the same hour-glass corseted figure of the late 1890's period setting throughout the whole of the motion picture.
