Mainpicce: Not acted these 5 years [acted 19 May 1792). Afterpiece: Not acted these 3 years [acted 24 Apr. 1792). "When next [Miss Jones, who had acted previously at Birmingham, and who is identified in Thespian Magazine, Dec. 1793, p. 359) plays the part she should endeavour to hold her person erect. The crouching attitudes that she adopted in the breeches scenes, took from the captivating impression that her figure might otherwise have produced" (Public Advertiser, 19 Nov.).
