Play dislik'd. Hiss'd much. [The pamphlet referred to was "$Mr Garrick='s Conduct as Manager of <i>TRDL</i> considered in a Letter Addressed to him," by $E. F.= 18 Oct.: As a manager, Sir, it is your business not only to prepare the Evening's Entertainment, but to prepare it in the best manner you are able; and the manager who does otherwise uses his customers ill." The burden of the author's complaints was: (1) the theatre has been operating for a month yet Garrick has appeared in only one character; (2) that he should buy himself off with speaking a prologue only, then sell that to the public at 6d. shows vanity, avarice, and lack of managerial responsibility; (3) that plays such as <i>Albumazar</i> (simple and poorly cast) and <i>Scornful Lady</i>, (with irreligious and atheistical parts) should not have been passed off on the public, whose expectations were raised high at the thought of Garrick's management. $Macklin= even had to apologize to the audience as he played the part of <i>Sir Roger</i>r in the latter play. E. F. closed by urging: "Get up the best of our English Tragedies and Comedies; encourage the rising Wits and be under no apprehesion of the want of success." If you use common sense in casting your actors, as your former managers did (with all their other faults) in casting you, you will not yourself have to play every night. Above all remember your responsibility to the public.] Receipts: #100 ($Cross=); #127 4s. 6d. ($Powel=).
