The multiple possibilities of reading the passage notwithstanding, the whole
thing indeed comes down to the question whether Orson Welles was called "The
Kenosha Kid" at some point. If he was, and the chapter of the
Welles-biography SchwitterZ points us to seems to indicate that this is the
case (of course one would have to read the book), it would be quite
reasonable to assume that the phrase "Kenosha Kid" is a reference to Orson
Welles. What that allusion means or could mean, whether it is of any
importance in the larger context, would then remain to be examined.
