Event Comment: [The playbill retains Fawcett as Trudge, but "On account of the sudden indisposition of Fawcett the part of Trudge was last night assigned to Knight, who supported it with sufficient correctness and humour.

Event Comment: "Lewis, with the exception of those repeated pauses and breaks in the middle of his sentences, which form a characteristic defect in his performance, and which, we fear, time and habit have rendered too inveterate to leave any hopes of reform, was very happy in his delineation of Archer. He possesses from nature a peculiar vein of sprightliness and gaiety, which admirably accords with characters of this description" (Dramatic Censor, I, 49). Receipts: #209 9s. 6d. (200.18.6; 8.11.0)

Event Comment: [In mainpiece the playbill retains Pope as Charles Stanley, but "The part of Charles Stanley this night devolved upon Claremont. It were to be wised that this gentleman would suffer the austerity of his features to relax, when he acts the lover. A continual frown ill accords with the soft workings of the tender passion" (Dramatic Censor, I, 78).] Receipts: #207 15s. (197.5; 10.10)

Event Comment: [In mainpiece the playbill retains Pope, but "An apology was made for Pope, who it seems is prevented by indisposition from attending to his professional duties. Claremont appeared as his substitute in Albert. The part in itself is so trifling and despicable that it is of little signification who performs it" (Dramatic Censor, I, Claremont's original part was probably omitted; see 21 Jan.] Receipts: #272 8s. 6d.
