The Theatre

Export | Feedback | Print

The Chambers family continue
deservedly to attract full and fashionable audiences, the
vote nan skill and agility of the parent being all but eclipsed
by tho dramatic powers of his son and the winning grace
of his little daughter, who seems a veritable ' fairy from
Fairyland ;' both presenting in their finished performances
an epitome of the various excellencies of all
' Who in the dance sported merry toes,
Taglionis and Ellslers, Duvernays and Ceritns.'
Master Chambers advances other claims to popularity than
that of an accomplished dancer. In his' performance on
Saturday evening he exhibited comic powers of no mean
class ; indeed, our old stagers, with few exceptions, might
take lessons in pantomime from -either of these talented
cliildren. As the short engagement of ' the Chambers
family' will speedily terminate, we would remind those
who desire to witness a display of dancing immeasurably
superior to anything heretofore produced on our stage' that
they have no time to lose!
