Criticism: For contemporary comment on performances and plays this season see $John Potter='s <i>Theatrical Review, or New Companion to the Playhouse</i>. 2 vols. <i>London</i>, 1772, a day by day account of Plays and actors at <i>Drury Lane</i> and <i>Covent Garden</i> theatres for the season 1771-72. He is rather severe in his comments on most of the actors at cg. The four relatively constant expenditures set up for each night this season include music: averaging #7 5s.; wardrobe charges of from 1 to #3; properties 7s. to #1; and renters, paid to $Garton=, the treasurer, #10. Extras, when they occur, which is almost nightly, for such things as kettle drum, side drum, bagpipes, chorus singers, supernumeraries, together with all repair bills paid advances to actors, &c. are duly recorded. I include only what appear to be significant ones which illustrate the theatre as a show business.] Receipts: #186 4s. 6d. (Account Book).
