Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Spanish Fryar

Dance: As17151029

Event Comment: Mainpiece: Newly Revis'd and AlterM N.B. The Reviser begs leave to observe, that tho' he thinks the Chief Characters in this Play, are drawn with a great deal of Life and Spirit; Yet that even in this very sprightly Play there are several very obvious Faults. That as the Character of the French Count, and that of the Irish Priest, are in no sort conducive to the Plot of the Play; they may therefore be look'd upon as superfluous: That the Parting of Sullen and his Wife, is extreamly unnatural; and that the Ending of the Play (with respect to Archer) is abrupt to a Degree, &c. &c. In order therefore to amend these Errors [he has revised the play]

Event Comment: To Macklin the Player: The Laity as well as Priests of all Religons are the same. Macklin, Thou mayst remember when thou wert learning the part of Shylock in the Merchant of Venice, thou camest daily to the Change, and artfully dids't introduce thyself into my company, till thou hads't stolen my Face, my Looks, and not content with the Index, thou did'st turn over the volume of my Mind, as it if thy Author had been wanting in the manner of his character, and dids't show me on the stage to the Disgrace of my Tribe, for which we wish thee not in Abraham's Bosom, thou may'st be sure. Now if thou hast a mind to compromise the Affair, and serve thyself at thy Benefit time, publicly delcare what Place thou did'st frequent, and what set of Christians thou did'st herd with, before thou playd'st the part of Iago in the Moor of Venice; Comply and our Rancor to thee will be turn'd into Love and Service. s@Zorobabel. PS I will call to thee tonight at thy Synagogue in the Hay-market, about the sixth Hour, as you players reckon, for intelligence.-Daily Advertiser
