Under the title of the Magnet Variety Troupe, Mr E. C. Moore of Ballarat fame, has organised a company of vocalists, gymnasts, & c., consisting of the brothers, Frank and Victor Angell, Miss Lottie Angell, Miss Minnie Izzard, Miss Fanny Sara, and Mr. R. R. Livermore. The company sailed from Gravesend on Saturday, the 20th of April last, for the port of Melbourne.
Ballarat Courier, 1 December 1873, p. 3
The Alfred Hall on Saturday night was crowded in that portion set apart for the general public and the reserved seats were fairly filled on the occasion of the re-appearance in Ballarat of those clever gymnasts and favourite trapezists, Lottie, Frank, and Victor. Since those artists last appeared in Ballarat, they have made a successful starring tour through New Zealand, Queensland and New South Wales, and return to us improved, if anything, in their style of performance, and, judging from what we saw on Saturday night with a number of new and daring feats … Lottie (who was received with quite an oration), bright, graceful, and daring as ever, went through a series of dangerous feats on a single trapeze suspended just below the ceiling of the hall. The conclusion of this act, (“The Descent of Mercury”, as it is termed) was a very striking performance, the gymnaste making her slow descent from trapeze on a single rope, head downwards … Lottie, Frank, and Victor after went through what has been aptly described as their daring and elegant performance on the treble trapeze, in which Lottie especially exhibits wonderful nerve and agility. After the interval, Mr Small came forward and apologised for the omission of Lottie’s flying leap from the entertainment that evening in consequence of the trapeze not having been properly fixed, and we are asked to state that the flying leap will positively be performed by Lottie this evening. It will be seen from a notification elsewhere, that Lottie and Victor have taken a leap of another description since Mr Small made this “flying” announcement on Saturday.
