The act was ten minutes long on the full stage.
Mlle. Dolores Vallecita performs with four trained Indian leopards. She groups two on top of a piano and two by her side. She plays the piano. When she cracks her whip and calls them by name, the leopards play the bells on cue.
This act is so far beyond every other animal act that Vallecita will likely not have any competitors during her lifetime. It is simply awe-inspiring that she can compel carnivorous animals to perform through extremely careful training.
