SHAZAM!!! Captain Marvel is my all time favorite serial.Lived on Page St., across from the Library. About two and a half blocks from the main part of Golden Gate Park.Every Saturday, dime in hand, walk down to the corner and up a block to Haight St. There was the theater.. That theater remains in my mind for two reasons. The first is that that was where I saw Captain Marvel. The other was because that’s where I lost a hero.A runaway horse, pulling a wagon goes over a bluff into a stream, with a man riding in the wagon. Cut away briefly, then back to show the man from the wagon walking up from the water. It was Roy Rogers, perfectly dry, trousers creased and all and…. I saw the unreality of it . He should have at least been damp wet. Logic and reason are, I guess, a part of growing up,? And as I aged I found their answers are not always pleasant.
