Comments:
[T+Theatrical Monitor, Nov. VII, appeared this day, again critical of The Oxonian in Town, of the dances, and of Mrs Mattocks's performance, "She raises herself by strut, rage, and storm."] At 5 went into the Pit. Powell does Othello very well, better than he did last season. Iago by Macklin (first time there in 12 years) who is reckon'd capital in that character....Clarke is a good Cassio. Mattocks appeared in his usual character Apollo. I like him better than DuBellamy who did it during his illness (Neville MS Diary). Receipts: #205 1s. (Account Book)
