13 July 1710 @ Queen's Theatre

Event Comment: Benefit Estcourt. At the Desire of several Persons of Quality. London in 1710 (pp. 138-39): On this occasion the actors represented a prodigiously satirical Interscenium, which was not to be found in the printed copy of the play....In this interlude a troop of soldiers came on, singing at the top of their voices an English song which had been made by the army in Flanders about the Duke of Marlborough. In it Prince Eugene is praised for his open-handedness, while Marlborough, on the other hand, is blamed for his avarice, so that every verse ended: 'but Marlborough not a penny.' The people, who are very bitter against the whole family, even the Duke himself, laughed prodigiously, and bandied about monstrous insults, although Marlborough's daughter, the Duchess of Montagu, was herself at the play and was so greatly shamed that she was covered with blushes....When the song was at an end, there was such a clapping and yelling that the actors were unable to proceed for nearly a quarter of an hour

Event Comment: Ryder (p. 195): There is a good deal of mirth in [The Drummer] and something pleasant and entertaining. The prince was at the play. An epilogue was spoken to recommend the cause of religion and liberty and loyalty to the care of the ladies, some part of which was very good. The beginning of it was but dull. However, I was very well pleased to hear it clapped by a full house and a general approbation of the sentiments
