I forgot about Randolph Scott, Lash LaRue, Gabby Hayes, Smiley Burnett, The Lone Ranger & Tonto, etc. Everything down South was segregated then. Whites downstairs, Blacks in the balcony. One Saturday when I was about 6 or 7 I wore my pride & joy WW1
Aviator's cap to the movie. Leather on the outside, fleece on the inside with metal sound tubes sticking out. Some older bigger guy behind me stole it at the end of the movie & ran outside. A black kid, coming out, chased him down & returned it to me.
Funny the things that you remember from 65 years ago!
Best Regards, George
