Frontierland
When you think of how many Frontierland scans I've already shared from the Mysterious Benefactor (MANY hundreds), it's shocking to know that there are still hundreds to go. The gift that keeps on giving. I'm grateful to him for entrusting me to share them with you.
Most of today's scans are "Golden Horseshoe" related - except for this first one. Based on the costume that this Cavalry officer is wearing (complete with authentic polarized frontier sunglasses), we can assume that this photo was taken on Tom Sawyer Island. Does he have a gun holster?? I can't tell what he's doing, the guest is getting the third degree.

Here's an artistic night photo of the sign above the entrance to the Golden Horseshoe. It almost looks like a "day for night" effect. This was probably taken by Helmet Newton (not to be confused with Helmut Newton).
"Yes, ma'am, there is plenty of rootin' and tootin' in the Golden Horseshoe Revue". "Do you think that my six year-old can watch so much tootin'?". "You have my solemn word as a member of AAA that he will be fine". "Bless you, sir" (tears flowing). This is known as The Disney Difference.
You don't have to say a word, Cliff, I understand completely. His break is in three minutes, and he knows he's going to spend the next 15 talking to this woman.
Well well well, I see that the purty gals aren't just in the show! This young lady is admiring the claws on the hand of another woman out of frame to our left. "How do you get them so thick and yellow?". "I never wash my hands!". "I would have never thought of that!".
And finally, who doesn't love a rare look at a performance of the Golden Horseshoe Revue? The stage is so little that it almost looks like the crowd is watching a puppet show, but those aren't puppets. The dancers are flesh and blood like us.
THANK YOU, Mysterious Benefactor!

"... it almost looks like the crowd is watching a puppet show, but those aren't puppets. The dancers are flesh and blood like us".
Major, I don't wish to tell tales out of school, but the last time I visited my doctor...
Thanks to the M B-!
The Cavalry guy looks like the frontier version of an ICE agent. (Sorry, but the way he's standing, the sunglasses, and poking his finger at the little old lady (I think we see her purse) looks threatening.) Anyway, strange angle, strange scene. Maybe that's a flashlight on his belt.
The Golden Horseshoe sign has a very classy and sophisticated look. Like something you'd see outside a reputable bank.
The "purty gal" holding the claw looks like the Frontierland version of Snow White; "Snow White and the Seven Gold Miners".
"almost looks like the crowd is watching a puppet show, but those aren't puppets". I dunno, Major. I think the dancers are doing the "I've got no strings" number.
Thanks, M B and Major.
Oh, the dancers are real aright. It's the audience that are the puppets. Disney is controlling their minds, so they become like puppets-on-a-string.
They return year after year and eventually develop that pixie dust brain rot and buy Annual Passes to complete the Diznoid puppet transformation. A Diznoid's diet consists of churros and Dole Whip. Are we not men? We are Diznoids!
It's been a long night and I've just derailed. Thanks M.B. and Major for these FRO pics.
