Tombstone, AZ - Birdcage Theatre, 1940

Within these walls once drank and played the likes of Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and members of the Cowboy faction, and Doc Holliday, who dealt faro in the gambling parlor. On one occasion, while Doc was dealing, one of his hated rivals, Johnny Ringo, passed by the table. Doc then murmured, "Care to buck the tiger, Johnny? It's the gustiest game in town."

Upon hearing this, a drunken Ringo wheeled around, removed his bandana and said to Holliday,

"Care to grab to the other end of this bandanna? This is the deadliest game in town." Vintage photo restored by Kathy Weiser-Alexander.
