PS Terrific, I've never heard of this. Can we be sure though that it was Clayton Moore making the visit?
Stop teasing pensioners,

Stop teasing pensioners,
Yesterday's Evening Times carried a picture of Clayton Moore, as the Lone Ranger, at Green's Playhouse in 1958 to publicise his latest film, "The Lone Ranger and the City of Gold."
The article describes him meeting three competition winners and says that he was a big hit with the kids. It goes on to say that "He reportedly caused even more of a stir when he rode way out west, riding his horse Silver, up Maryhill RD to visit Eastpark Children's Home, stopping off at the Blythswood Cinema en-route."
One of these days I'm going to write up this saga. However, we now have Roy and Trigger doing this, the Lone Ranger and Silver as well as , according to Donovan, Hopalong Cassidy and Topper. In the meantime, I'm off to upset some pensioners on Glasgow Guide.
Happy Trails,
Eddy

Round about this time Frank Lynch took over the Apollo so when big stars finished strutting their stuff at the Apollo they would sometimes come round to the White Elephant for a few drinks. If the Apollo was very busy stewards from the Elephant would be sent round to help out so I met a lot of pretty big acts that appeared there. Great fun when I look back !!
