The great rifle act was the feature of the evening, everyone being completely mystified b\; the entertainer's apparent invulnerability. Another popular item was the production of the flags of the various nations, produced from 'behind a screen. Those of Germany, Austria, and Turkey were vigorously hissed, and those (if the Allies, particularly Belgium, heartily applauded.
