For this stunt a certain amount of preparation is necessary. You will need a bull, with two Scouts built into a cloth body for the bull, and a similar animal put together to represent a horse. The typical Spanish costumes with capes And round hats may be easily improvised. A few yards of "turkey red". cotton cloth may be used to good advantage for capes, sashes,, etc., and a sword made of soft lead or rubber should be provided for the matador'.
Afer a triumphal entry and parade, the picadors attack the bull and get him irritated to a point where he is highly dangerous to all concerned. When he has been annoyed to a point where he paws the earth with his front feet and becomes really "onery," the horseman appears and a duel ensues between the horse and the bull in which the horse is severely punctured.The third episode starts with a triumphal march of the matador and his assistants to the strains of "Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here." After a terrific battle with a variety of cruel weapons, the bull is assassinated with a sword which bends out of recognition, and as a finale the bull sits down on the matador and is pronounced the victor after a count of ten.
This may be made more amusing by the use of a gong as in boxing matches, and the
addition of seconds for both the matador and the bull. These seconds fan their principals
with towels, and go through all the motions seen in the corners of a boxing ring.
