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.)
