Event Comment: Benefit for Author of Zingis. Damon and Phillida was altered into a Comic opera of two acts, and new musick with the addition of some new songs and choruses--the Musick composed by Mr Dibdin,--went off very dull, and some hisses--the muscik not vastly liked (Hopkins Diary). New Overture. Both Zingis and Damon and Phillida published at 1s. 6d. and 1s

02 February 1769 @ Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: [The following day Garrick received a letter from L. A. Ein Schweitzer: "As you spare nothing in adding new characters etc. to the Masquerade...I hope you will introduce in it the dress as described hereunder, being the first, perhaps, that ever appeared in this country. It is that of a country maid of the Cantoon of Bern; and as the Allemande is really a Swiss Dance, nobody could with more propriety wear it than Sga Vidini who would greatly shine in it." The hairdo is described in detail--ringlets, with cap and small feather, and no powder. The jacket, skirt, and socks (red jacket with black trim, black skirt, red stockings) are described in detail. "N.B. The dress in my opinion would also do very well for a Colombine. The man's dress is not suitable to a dance." Folger Library Copy, Garrick Correspondence, Vol. IV, MS Letter 42.
