Rabbits, ducks and partridge had trained Annie Oakley's hand and eye to such precision by her 16th year that her performance against a highly rated shooter, Frank Butler, both broke and stole his heart. Soon they were married and she later said, "Frank really reared me." They toured as partners until one day in Texas a cowhand yelled at Mr. Butler, "Git outa the ring and give the girl a chance."

Having already charmed the British, it brings to this civilization "Leander", a song that needs no comment because everyone will soon know it by heart; Doris Patston, a pert lass who captivates; Jack Sheehan, comedian, who exchanges an honest laugh for every minute of the audience's attention; Lilian Davies, prima donna, and Allan Prior, tenor, who can sing, act, and look handsome all at the same time. With its old fashioned harmonies...
