          Comments:
            Benefit for Mrs Cibber.  Tickets delivered for The Orphan will be taken.  No building on stage.  [Goldsmith, in his Bee (Vol. 1759, p. 56), commenting on Mad Clairon s' excellent preservation of character on stage, glances at Mrs Cibber, perhaps in this night's performance: 'I can never pardon a lady on the stage who, when she draws the admriation of the whole audience, turns about to make them a low courtesy for their applause.  Such a figure no longer continues Belvidera , but at once drops into Mrs Cibber."  See comment upon her deportment as Ophelia , 29 April 1763.
