Comments:
Mainpiece [1st time; C 5, by Catherine? Cuthbertson. Authors of Prologue and Epilogue unknown. Larpent MS 969; not published]: With new Dresses and Decorations. "The [new] piece possessing nothing like a plot, and being perfectly uninteresting, was much disapproved of...Palmer contributed to its bad reception by being absent when he was most wanted on the stage, and occasioning thereby an aukward chasm, which put the audience out of humour. He was otherwise highly reprehensible for his imperfections in his part" (Public Advertiser, 26 Feb.). Receipts: #375 16s. 6d. (342.13.6; 31.7.0; 1.16.0)
