Event Comment: "The performance of last night boasted some additional impression, by the fine imagination of [
Kemble's] starting at the trumpet from the prayer of penitence, and springing up the Hero and the
King...[In Act V] the scene with
Katharine was as sportive and as easy as possible...
Comus followed, vice the
Critic, obliged to be postponed from [the] indisposition of
Parsons (MS annotation on
Kemble playbill)]. Some disapprobation attended the drawing up the curtain.
Palmer explained, and then, without 'wiping his lips since he spoke last' began "The Star that bids the Shepherd fold" (
Oracle, 1 Nov.). Receipts: #223 5s. 6d. (180.8.6; 41.3.0; 1.14.0)
