Im not sure Billy,
I grew up on a diet of the "Durango Kid, "The Lone ranger" "The three stoogies" "Old Mother Rilley" Chaplin,Gleeson, etc,,
Sunday matinee a sixpence piece.We rode the range and help the goodie chase the baddie across the badlands. Dozens of little terrors stomping on the floor like mad and when the second goodie got shot we cried.An drunken usher would come down to try and restore order and fall over loosing his flashlight.Then the guards would be called.Haloween meant rotten fruit and pasting the screen when the baddie came into view.Then the clergy would be called in.They did their very best to show decent films,If they showed boring ones, the smart alex would get going with their comment in the darkness and some of them were funny,once people started laughing,then the throwing started,then the fighting.

.We kids thought it was normal. We were all about 9 or 10 at the time with the bigger ones in the 15 yr bracket.
Our cousins often came to stay,They all said the same thing, our films were the most exciting ever..
