Afterpiece Title: Apollo and Daphne

Dance: As17521028

Event Comment: Afterpiece: Not acted these 4 years. Full prices. [See 10 March 1750.] Mr Maddox ye Ballance Master perform'd [on the rope] in it. Great Expectations not answer'd (Cross). [See ridicule of this afterpiece at dl 6 Nov. and the summary account of the disturbance it produced, as recorded in the Gentleman's Magazine (Nov. 1752, p. 535): The Town had been allured to Covent Garden by a wire dancer and some strange animals, which the manager brought together from Sadler's Wells and the Fair. Mr Garrick ridiculed this perversion of theatrical entertainment, by exhibiting a mock entertainment of the same kind. At this the town was offened, and a party went one evening determind to damn it; a person of some distinction [Fitzpatrick] who was very busy in this laudable attempt threw an apple at Woodward and hit him. Woodward resented the blow by some words, which, by the gentleman's account, implied a challenge, but by Woodward's no such thing. Woodward's account is confirm'd by the affidavits of many; that of the gentleman only by his own, though the box in which he sat was full. The Inspector espoused the cause of the Gentleman; and the Covent Garden Journalist of the comedian.'

Great Applause. The Prologue about Mrs Cibber's Leaving Rich (Cross). Romeo was perform'd by Barry and Juliet by Miss Nossiter, being the first time of her appearing on any theatre. The delicacy of her figure, and her gracefull distress, obtained for her the warmest applause; and as she grew more animated in the progress, she frequently alarmed the audience with the most striking attitudes. If this young actress studies the management of her voice, and attains a more simple elocution--she will prove a shining ornament to the stage (Gentleman's Magazine, Oct., p. 493, from Grays' Inn Journal, 13 Oct.). [The Occasional Prologue was printed in the Public Advertiser, 20 Nov.: @Who could have thought that Juliet could e'er prove@False to her Romeo, faithless to her Love?@She Mrs Cibber? on whose voice the raptured audience hung,@Caught with th'angelic music of her tongue;@Whose native tenderness so oft has charm'd;@Whose grief afflicted, and whose Rage alarm'd,@Deaf to her vows, and to her Romeo's calls,@Has fled alas from our Verona's walls!@In such a plight what cou'd poor Romeo do?@Why, Faith, like modern lovers, seek anew;@And happy shall I think me in my Choice,@If 'tis approv'd of by the public voice.@ Twenty three more lines present the qualifications for Miss Nossiter to play the part, and plead for an encouraging round of applause for her.] and as she grew more animated in the progress, she frequently alarmed the audience with the most striking attitudes.
