...song's end, agile little Dr. Mildon jumped on the nearest bar stool. "Now," said he in a penetrating, high-pitched voice, "I want you to sing a song we find you people of Plymouth know very well-Abide with Me."

It was also clear that a man can't very well burst into song with both guns smoking and his spurs mixed up in a dead heavy; so the primordial, hard-riding, lone-wolfish hero (best personified by Bill Hart) gave way to the more folksy, even mildly urbane type. Gene and Roy Rogers, like their prototypes, turn up in time's nick...
