Event Comment: Mr Moody Dr Cantwell 1st time--very bad (
Hopkins Diary).
Theatrical Review, 27 Nov.: Dr Cantwell was, this evening, played by Mr Moody on account of
Mr King's illness,
and, as we apprehend, it was undertaken on a short notice, we think he executed it with great propriety
and justness. [
Potter interprets the moral impact of the play considering it an improvement over
Cibber's
Non-Juror, its source.] Receipts: #108 14s. (Treasurer's Book)
