13 October 1775

Event Information
Theatre: Drury Lane Theatre
Theatrical Season: 1775-1776
Volume: 4
Comments: Mrs King from the York Theatre made her first appearance on this stage in Rosalind. She is very Tall and would look well enough if she did not paint her face so much with white and Red. She has a course Voice-and does not speak very Naturally. She was received with great applause (Hopkins Diary). [Genest, V, 479, suggests Mrs King was used to offset and upset Miss Younge.] Paid Watch tax and Beadle for half a year #18 15s.; Mr Levy Fredrick bill for silks #154 1s. 6d. Receipts: #132 16s. 6d. (Treasurer's Book)
