If it is it was the source of my first fist fight, we were about four. We went to the Sally as it had a Buck Jones serial. After the movie we decided to play cowboys and Indians. We both bagseyd Buck Jones the argument came to fisticuffs, and the game never took place. He was a visitor to his Granny, and came often but I never in the ensuing years ever spoke to him again.
