Clyde and cowboy movie star Hoot Gibson.

In '64, a decrepit soul arrived on the lot in a tired old jalopy, lettered "Hoot Gibson's Brother". The fellow was shabbily dressed, had long, stringy hair, and was generally unkempt. He said he got Front End permission to sell his photo cards on the lot, and evidently knowing Beatty had been on Robbins with Hoot, came back to the Airstream. Beatty and I were sorting through the trunk of the Cadillac, and my boss didn't care to pay much attention to the offer of 2 cards for a quarter. The unsuccessful claimant, brother to the star or not, finally wondered away, not to be seen again.
