William John "Billy" Mauch was born 6 Jul , in Peoria, Illinois, ten minutes prior to the birth of his twin brother, Bobby. He was the son of Felix Mauch, a worker for the Toledo, Peoria & Western Railroad, and Marguerite (née Burley).

Their early exposure in radio led to appearances in print advertisements before they signed a contract with Warner Bros.

In , Billy and Bobby relocated with their mother to Hollywood, where Billy was cast as the young version of the title character in Anthony Adverse (). His resemblance to adult actor Fredric March, who portrayed the adult Adverse, was so uncanny that Billy was chosen for the part, with Bobby often standing in for him.

Billy and Bobby Mauch were identical twins. When Billy was cast in Anthony Adverse, Bobby was to be his stand-in for unimportant scenes. Once the film was completed, however, the twins revealed to director Mervyn LeRoy that that had taken turns playing the lead role throughout the movie, confident that no one would notice. They are said to have played the same trick during the filming of The White Angel, where Billy again was cast as the lead. The only noticeable difference between them as boys was that Billy is left-handed, and Bobby is right-handed. (Edited from The Moving Picture Boy, by John Holmstrom.)

I had never heard of the Mauch Twins (pronounced “Mock”,) until I acquired a stash of movie star scrapbooks from an elderly woman in Ohio.  She had meticulously cut out articles and pictures of her favorite stars, when she was growing up in the ’s and ’s. 

Among her articles were those of Billy and Bobby Mauch, identical twin child actors of that time.  I had to know more.  Here is their story:

Billy and Bobby Mauch were born on July 6, in Peoria, Illinois.  Billy was the older twin by ten minutes. Their father, Felix, worked for the railroad and their mother, Dorothy, a homemaker, was also a twin.  

 She taught the boys songs, and they began to entertain at banquets and radio stations in Peoria, eventually moving to New York.  Billy and Bobby auditioned there and were signed for CBS and NBC radio, performing on shows such as “Beauty Box Revue,” “Lucky Strike,” “Show Boat,” and “March of Time.” Besides si
