Grub St. Journal, 26 Feb. 1736: The second night (so well was this Comedy receiv'd by the Town) the audience of about 5l. was dismiss'd. Daily Journal, 29 April: We hear . . . The Double Deceit . . . was not acted last Night, on Account of a Letter sent by Mr Walker, who had a principal Part in it, acquainting Mr Rich, that he had study'd his Part, but could not make himself Master of it, and therefore desired he wou'd provide some body else to do it. N.B. The Part is about Eight Lengths, and was above eight Weeks in Mr Walker's Hands
