They want to meet Bat Masterson; they are not interested in an actor called Gene Barry, who happens to be a Jewish boy from Brooklyn. When a youthful fan at Canada's Calgary Stampede handed him a snare drum, and asked "Would you sign this, Bat?", Barry snapped: "My name is Gene Barry," and bashed his gold-headed Bat Masterson cane right through the head of the drum.
