Event Comment: Ryder (p. 195): There is a good deal of mirth in [The Drummer] and something pleasant and entertaining. The prince was at the play. An epilogue was spoken to recommend the cause of religion and liberty and loyalty to the care of the ladies, some part of which was very good. The beginning of it was but dull. However, I was very well pleased to hear it clapped by a full house and a general approbation of the sentiments
