Fritz Schnitzler aka Bryan Masten co founder of Aces and Sixguns, board member and group safety officer. Bryan is very familiar with the old west and the history of saloons. He started by volunteering an historic Museum in 2000 but before that, the old west was his passion along with theater in high school. Bryan has always had a knack for gun safety from day one when he was first taught about guns in grade school. He has a reputation for exceptional safety practices for both himself and Aces and Sixguns.
Fritz Schnitzler was born April 19th 1835 in Boatman Germany. Fritz moved to Wichita Ks in 1872 and opened Snitzler Saloon, a restaurant, and other various businesses. The best way to describe Fritz is everyone knows Fritz, and who- ever visited Wichita know him. Mr. Snitzler will pull down over three hundred pounds avoirdupois, and is fully as liberal and jolly as he is heavy. He has two large dining halls, and frequently from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dine with him. Fritz knows how to run a restaurant, and never allows his guest to go away dissatisfied.
He has never been known to water down the whiskey and runs a tight saloon, nor will he ever allow a dishonest card game or dishonest working girl inside his place.
Fritz has one small weakness and has been know to be seen around town with Madam Ca$h on his arms taking her shopping.
You don’t ever want to get on the bad side of Fritz because you might just meet two of his best friends that don’t get along with anyone: his bung starter Calamity or his sawed off 12 gauge shotgun Jane.

During the Christmas season, Henry Schnitzler (Bryan Masten) can be found at his home, Schnitzler Mansion, giving guided tours and welcoming guests. 

Madam Cold Ca$h Carol aka Gale Masten co founder of Aces and Sixguns, board member, costume coordinator and rehearsal director.  Gale is familiar with the old west and the history of soiled doves and proper ladies. Gale has spent many hours researching costumes for proper woman and soiled doves which she has a good size library of research materials. Gale starting volunteering in 2000 at a Living history museum but has always had a passion for history all the way through high school. Gale also has a second character she portrays and that is Caroline Schnitzler.
 
Caroline Schnitzler was born Feb 13th, 1830 she married Fritz around 1864 and moved to Wichita with him in 1872. She was a homemaker raising her two children, Henry and William. Caroline is known to have thrown a few good tea parties and a few good Evening dinners. With her husband being such an outgoing man she is always trying to include everyone in the activities.

Madam Cold Ca$h Carol was born August 7th 1837. From the time she was born she didn’t have the patience for any man's bull headedness. She learned at a young age that to be a single woman in the west you had to be a tough, fast thinking and even faster with a gun. There is even a rumor that once her and big nose Kate got into a fight over a man, but it was really a two bit piano player named lighting fingers, not Kate and it was not over a man but over who took whose dress pattern. In fact Big Nose Kate and Ca$h are the best of friends. Ca$h has been know to be on more laps than a napkin, but her heart lies with Fritz. She is happy working as a business associate in Fritz’s Delano saloon and she runs her girls with an iron fist, but makes sure that her girls are well taken care of. Her favorite time is spent on the arm of Fritz as they stroll down the boardwalk shopping. Any man or woman that tries to come between her and her time with Fritz will end up with lead poisoning.
Christmas will find Albertina Schnitzler (Gale Masten) at the Scnitzler Mansion. Mrs. Albertina Schnitzler proudly displays the home, which was her anniversary gift from her husband, Henry.

Marshal Buckshot Mann aka Jeff Cashion, Aces and Sixguns board member and prop manager, portrays Wichita's peace officer. The good Marshall is as good an example of duality as the City of Wichita. Sometimes he will be in the Marshal's office working diligently or he might just be hanging around Snitzler's Saloon, making more trouble than peace.

Marshal Buckshot keeps peace and tranquility during the Christmas season at the Schnitzler Mansion. Party goers beware. Inappropriate behavior will be dealt with swiftly as Christmas is a time of peace and goodwill.

 

Moonshine aka Jerry Wullschleger is the town supplier of liquid delight in a bottle. Owner and operator of the best made shine in the Midwest. Moonshine keeps Fritz well supplied at the Saloon with his elixir of joy. Madam Cash is always well stocked, keeping plenty on hand for her girls’ health and happiness. The good Marshal Buckshot openly disapproves of Moonshines business yet is always forthcoming with suggestions on how to “improve” Moonshine's recipes. The Marshal never passes up a taste test. Miss Sadie was bottle fed on this gloriously clear phenomenon and many claim it has resulted in her quick temper but lightening fast thought processes. Yes, business is good for Moonshine, the best in the Midwest!
