ABSTRACT
Drury-Lane.—The age of chivalry has been again called into existence in all its glory of love, enchantment, knight and steed, of minstrelsy, of dance and tournament. It has been produced much after the manner of the last Christmas spectacle at this house, and it is impossible to witness, without admiration, the beauty and finished training of the great actors in the piece—Ducrow’s horses—in the wonderful movements of which there would be something rather fearful, were it not for the conviction that they are in a state of perfect command. The harlequinade commenced with an abundance of cuffing and almost endless feats of activity; but neither the one nor the other were more than a very unsatisfactory substitute for the rich humour of Grimaldi.
