05 November 1773 @ Covent Garden

Event Comment: Mainpiece: By Particular Desire. Paid Younger for writting parts #10 4s. 9d.; Paid Mrs Giles for a Blue & Silver suit of women's cloaths #9 9s. (Account Book). To Covent Garden. Beggar's Opera and Commissary. Found the Pit not over fifth full, and on the 4th bench from orchestra orange woman showed me Pol. Kennedy alias Mrs Bevon, on which I went and sat immediately before her, and talked with her much during the play. Pol. Kennedy in cloak and large hat. She is tall, large and raw-boned. Irish features, yet had something in her face and person necessarily attracting notice--was very civil, curteous, and chatty (Baker, Diary, p. 270). [Pol. Kennedy was the Irish actress and contralto who later appeared as Mrs Farrell at dl in 1776 in Arne's Caractacus.] Receipts: #122 6s. 6d. (Account Book)

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Beggars Opera

Afterpiece Title: The Commissary

3892
10 December 1774 @ Covent Garden

Event Comment: A drunken man and a livery servant were both very troublesome in the first gallery [according to an account in the Morning Chronicle, 11 Dec., which continued]: It is a very great insult to respectable citizens and gentlemen of moderate fortunes, who from principles of economy choose to sit in the first gallery, that they admit too men in liveries. Their prices of admission have been raised within these thirty years, and every art practised for interest of the managers; and in these times, when every necessary and convenience of life is considerably enhanced, it is a matter of prudence in persons of the middle rank of life to prefer the gallery to the pit. But this is no reason why livery servants should be allowed to place themselves by the wives and daughters of private gentlemen and reputable tradesmen, to whom they often behave with great insolence and indecency. [It is desirable] to know why a constable does not make his appearance in the back row of the first, as well as the second, gallery, being frequently as much wanted in the one as the other (John Hampden Diary, p. 122)

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Much Ado About Nothing

Afterpiece Title: The Druids

19 January 1785 @ Covent Garden

Event Comment: Windham Diary (30 Jan. 1784), 41: On the Wednesday 1 went to see Mrs Crawford in 'Belvidera', and found her much as I expected, though her disparity was very great. I can perhaps better conceive the delusion that, aided by a little prejudice [in favor of Mrs Siddons] and the recollection of Mrs C. in better times, could hesitate about the preference. The chief faults that I should find would be, that her articulation was cramped and timid, her tones sometimes colloquial and vulgar, her action confined, and her countenance inexpressive. A new man of the name of Pope performed; I pronounced him in my own judgment as inferior, upon the whole, to Brereton. [Henderson's 1st appearance as Pierre was at Bath, 14 Oct. 1773.]

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Venice Preservd

Afterpiece Title: The Magic Cavern

3894
07 June 1786 @ Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: [Afterpiece in place of Daphne and Amintor, announced on playbill of 6 June.] Windham Diary (7 June 1786), p. 79: Mrs Siddons did 'Rosalind' much better than the first time, but not equal to her tragedy: there is a want of hilarity in it; it is just, but not easy. The highest praise that can be given to her comedy is, that it is the perfection of art; but her tragedy is the perfection of nature. Receipts: #219 16s. 6d. (192/1/0; 26/2/6; 1/13/0)
