Comments:
Mainpiece, not acted in 10 years. [The British Champion, or Impartial Advertiser, No. 109, gives a four column comment upon the players versus the managers at Drury Lane. It appears to be written by a citizen appalled at the large salaries of the players as well as at the reputed high living of Fleetwood. Concludes by suggesting that theatre prices be much reduced.
