I looked in at the Alhambra the other night, and found an excellent show, notably, a high-wire act by Mdlle. Virginia Aragon. A very handsome Spaniard with coal-black tresses, she does her work with great neatness. The best thing she does is to kneel on the wire, and, leaning forward, pick up with her teeth from between her knees, a handkerchief. Then she swings on the wire, balancing herself with one foot only. Altogether, she is the smartest wire-walker I've seen for many a day. Her sister, by the way, is a trapezist and figured at the Empire not long ago. [The Sketch, Nov. 27, 1895]
我前几天晚上去阿罕布拉剧院,看到了一场精彩的表演,特别是一位名叫维吉尼亚·阿拉贡的高空走钢丝演员。她是一位非常美丽的西班牙姑娘,乌黑的头发如墨般浓密,表演时动作非常干练。她最精彩的表演是跪在钢丝上,前倾身体,用牙齿从双腿间夹起一条手帕。然后她在钢丝上摇摆,仅用一只脚保持平衡。总的来说,她是我多年来见过的最出色的走钢丝演员。顺便提一下,她的姐姐是一名秋千演员,不久前在帝国剧院演出过。[《素描》,1895年11月27日]
