In the early days of this site, the crosswords had no titles. It must have been fun playing the "what is it?" game. :)

ninius (16 March 2016, 17:58) complain

Lol I thought too that it's a gun slinger

Guest: Jay Buck (17 March 2016, 13:56) complain

Thought it wasan elephant at first

I'm with everyone else, looks like a cowboy.

Yasten (8 April 2016, 21:00) complain

Looks like guns.

FellHarbor (7 July 2016, 20:57) complain

I see a baseball player with a bat. But I love cowboys, so I'll go with everyone else.

Florie (23 July 2016, 7:53) complain

I see a cane in one hand and a gun in the other. Maybe it's a dancer on Broadway, in a play about gun slingers.

LOL

Your right about a Broadway dancer. It's Fagin from Oliver!..."I'm reviewing the situation."

Christiana_Bradshaw (3 September 2016, 8:00) complain

It's an old fashioned type of dance with a cane and a certain type of hat. Hard to portray in such a small space.

That's clearly a gunman. :-)

Good

Femme_Appeal (1 April 2017, 5:50) complain

When I first saw it I thought of The Dark Tower.

gruverja (22 April 2017, 20:27) complain

I first thought old man, then gunslinger.

Guest: GDG (28 June 2017, 9:17) complain

Cowboy...!

Minchin (25 August 2017, 18:03) complain

Gangster in a zoot suit

spoiler

It is a Cossack sword dance or hopak, a traditional Ukrainian folk dance. For more information, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopak .
The logo for a show given in the UK is quite similar to Tverianka's crossword. http://www.cossackshow.co.uk .
The video shows a young woman learning the dance--first with sticks (until she has the movements perfected) then with an actual sword. She uses great concentration to avoid injuring herself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN3uhImuy6E .
Note that a variety of clothing styles (with and without hats) are worn by the dancers.

The spoiler, embedded link (and other options under the comments box) were implemented in summer 2018.

munkin (8 June 2023, 5:22) complain

Thanks Sheryl! Interesting info & fascinating video.

Alicia_Butcher_Ehrhardt (16 June 2018, 22:42) complain

Interesting dancer. Good puzzle.

Prikichi (21 July 2018, 5:51) complain

Not sure if Sheryl is right with her link. I can see a Zorro hat and a person, maybe with a cane. But the picture is okay if you just forget about the title I guess?

tsz (16 October 2019, 15:53) complain

A sneaking thief with a weapon in one hand and a baseball bat in second

Sheryl_Hill (21 December 2019, 4:51) complain

The dance described in my spoiler is very Russian and extraordinary.

Logic (3 February 2020, 23:33) complain

Cowboy!

mmagnus (30 May 2023, 9:16) complain

Terrific!

Chorton (24 August 2023, 2:08) complain

Thought it was a sneaky gunman also!
