Event Comment: Milwood Mrs King So, so, Barnwell first time by Mr Brereton very well. The Jubilee is reviv'd with Alterations and Additions in the Pageant It was receiv'd with vast Applause (Hopkins Diary). [The Westminster Magazine for Dec. remarked on The Jubilee: "It appeared with still greater splendor [than in its original performance in 1769] from the introduction of more pageants and characters. Romeo and Juliet made a different appearance in this procession, and their was likewise a new Pageant for the Tragedy of Coriolanus, which was not introduced before. The scenes were either all new painted, or quite new."] Receipts: #242 6s. (Treasurer's Book)
