Event Comment: Benefit for Mrs Crawford. Mrs Crawford, imprest with the deepest Sense of Gratitude for the many Favours conferred on her by her Friends and the Public, is sincerely concerned that a violent Indisposition renders it impracticable for her to perform for her Benefit this Night.

Tickets delivered for Isabella [the original play chosen for this night] will be taken. Public Advertiser, 4 Mar.: Tickets to be had of Mrs Crawford, No. 22, Bridges-street, Covent Garden. Receipts: #168 2s. (99/3; tickets: 68/19) (charge: #105)

Event Comment: "Nothing could be more affecting than [Mrs Crawford's] expression of the sorrows in the character; nor anything more languid and undecorous than her level recitation . . . Discharge the fire, and she sinks into a tasteless disregard of the business, which injures, if it does not destroy the illusion. It is in this that Mrs Siddons triumphs over her... But she cannot, so powerfully as Mrs Crawford, assail at intervals the heart" (Gazetteer, 30 Nov.)
