Precision and trick shooting.
Singing and bell ringing.
LeHoen and Dupreece are fancy rifle shots. LeHoen and Dupreece are young and carry a special "exterior garden" set with a fountain that spouts real water during the turn. This fount as well as a piece of old armor upstage later prove target stands. The man and woman sing a number of topical songs with the former doing more than necessary. As each does good shooting more might be worked in instead of too much attention bestowed upon the talk about proposing and the singing. The woman goes to the balcony rail at one time and extinguishes a row of burning candle lights. Very effective trick. The man announces he would round out a cross a la German design on a small poker chip target but for some reason didn't. He did play a tune on bells, accompanying the woman's voice, that was expertly done. A good act of its kind, the shooting being the feature.
