Event Comment: [As afterpiece the playbill announces
Olympus in an Uproar, but it "was obliged to be postponed, on account of the sudden indisposition of
Mrs Martyr. The change was announced in bills published at a late hour, and the door-keepers were ordered to acquaint the audience as they entered of the change. This information ought to have been given from the stage; but instead of that decent ceremony the curtain drew up on
Rosina.
John Bull resented this want of respect, and made a tremendous clamour, which
Incledon and
Townsend in vain attempted, by repeated apologies, to allay. At last, however, the storm gradually subsided, and
Rosina was suffered to warble her mellifluous tones" (
True Briton, 14 Nov.).] Receipts: #199 4s. (193.6; 5.18)
