Description | "The Banvard 'Family' individually, collectively, in triplets, or in pairs, are good; they can sing, they can all dance, while in ground and lofty tumbling, as trapezists and in general acrobatics, they are par excellence. They range from Banvard pere to a mite of seven or eight, and even this end of the family can go through a turn on the trapeze like an athlete, can dance correctly, sing like a cherub, and act with a vein of comedy that would shame on oldster." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
