The girls are dressed cleanly and neatly in short-skirted costumes but there was an antique-looking sideboard on the stage Wednesday night that gave the setting a dining-room appearance rather than a shooting studio.
The act was ten minutes long. A woman and a man perform tricks such as a quadruple shot. Each rifle shoots the trigger of the other, until the last hits the target.
A man and two women appear in a cowboy and cowgirl costume. One of the girls takes part in the shooting while the other serves as an assistant. The man does double shots with a rifle and a revolver, breaking two items at the same time.
Bordeverry snuffed lighted candles, hammered bulls-eyes at record-breaking speed, played national airs by plugging bullets against the keys of a specially constructed piano and ended in divesting his wife of an opera cloak, picture hat and ball dress which were fastened with tiny clasps that gay way to the impact of the bullet.
Sharpshooting display with the use of an assistant and audience volunteers.
The act is thirteen minutes long. “He does everything but shoot the eyelids off his young assistant.” Pisano shoots the lighted end of a cigarette in the assistant’s mouth, shoots targets held between the assistants forehead and finger, and breaks small targets on the stage. He also lights and extinguishes matches with shots.
Mr. de Loris shoots away “the costume of a good-looking young woman who appears neatly dressed in a short, keen-length skirt”. His last shot “hits the trigger of a stationery rifle which fires a bullet smashing a white ball just above his own head”.
