Charlott Charke. Daily Advertiser, 26 Sept.: We hear that Mrs Charke . . . drew Tears from the whole Audience in her Prologue, which she spoke very pathetically; and the new Farce . . . was very much applauded, notwithstanding the impotent Attempts of several young Clerks to raise a Riot, who were for that purpose properly marshal I'd by the cunning Lawyer their Master: Their rude Behaviour was so extraordinary, that several Gentlemen were provok'd to threaten them with the Discipline of their Canes, upon which they thought proper to desist

Event Comment: LLondon Evening Post, 1 Jan. 1737: Last Night the Beggar's Opera (about the Playing of which, as much Noise has been made, as about several of our Modern Treaties) was perform'd...to a crowded Audience; the House being full by Four. There was a prodigious uproar, with Clappin, Hissing, Catcalls, &c. Mrs Clive, who play'd the Part of Polly, when she came forward, address'd herself to the House, saying, Gentlemen, I am very sorry it should be thought I have in any Manner been the Occasion of the least Disturbance; and then cry'd in so moving a Manner, that even Butchers wept. The she told them, She was almost ready with the Part of Lucy, and at all Times shou'd be willing to play such Parts as the Town should direct, and desir's to know if they were willing she should go on with the Part of Polly; she behaving in so humble a Manner, the House approv'd of her Behavious by a general Clap.
