Nothing under Full Prices. A new Pantomime-went off with great Applause ($Cross=). [The afterpiece dealt with in high irony by $Murphy= in <i>Gray's Inn Journal</i> (29 Dec.): It is writ entirely upon the <i>Grecian plan</i>, so much admired by the <i>French critics</i>, and of course does not bid very fair to please the multitude in this country, whose taste is too much vitiated by $Shakespeare='s monstruous irregularity, to relish the simplicity of this piece. $Mr Ranger= will only observe that he is highly pleased with the Fable, the Morality, the University, and Integrity of it, and as the writing is equal all through, he looks upon it to be one of the best Pantomimes in the <i>English language</i>.] Receipts: #180 (Cross).
