“An intimation is also given that these remaining six performances [of the Ravels] are to be their farewell performances in America. But the well regulated mind refuses to entertain the idea that Summer can ever come to New-York without the Ravels.”

The Ravels “are a name unto themselves and a wonder to several generations. They have danced and piped before our fathers, ourselves and our children, until their grimaces are household words, their antics legendary about the hearthstone, their comicalities the very exponent of all that is genuine in theatric jollity.”
