Mainpiece: Not acted these 2 years. [See 21 Nov. 1765.] Got with difficulty into the Pit before the play began. $Holland= played <i>Tancred</i> pretty well but can never divest himself of a certain stiffness...$Mrs Dancer= was affecting in <i>Sigismunda</i>...<i>Lovel</i> [in the afterpiece] by $King=, much better than by $Cautherly.= Saw the $Duchess of Ancaster= at the Play, who tho upwards of 40, is still remarkably handsome (<i>Neville MS Diary</i>).
