Event Comment: Benefit for Wood, Percey, Cameron, Wilson, George, Woollams. Kemble Mem.: Benefit for the Boxkeepers. A New Edition of the [mainpiece] to be had at the Theatre. "Went to play. Mrs Jordan in 'Rosalind.' I am still of opinion, there is more in her person and natural manners than in her acting. Her merit lies out of her part. The words set down by the author she does not repeat with great propriety of tone, emphasis, or gesture, than others. But she has of these, certain peculiarities, which indicate dispositions, such as take strong hold of the affections, at least of the male part of her audience; and therefore, when the part is of a sort to admit a large portion of these, she produces a great effect. The true acting of the part may, in many instances, not require what she throws into it, but it may admit it; and if the expression so thrown in is of the sort described, the effect of the whole will be improved, though the part is thereby neither better nor worse acted" (Windham Diary, 28 May 1791, 227).

Event Comment: Mainpiece [1st time; MD 3, by the Hon. Francis North. Johnstone was from cg]: The Music partly new by Gyrowetz, and partly compiled [by Miss Monck, or Monckton] from Paisiello, Sacchini, and Guglielmi. With new Dresses, Decorations, &c. Books of the Songs to be had at the Theatre. Oracle, 27 June: The chief excellence of this piece is the preservation of costume. Gazetteer, 27 June: Bensley disgraced a performance otherwise good by concluding his sentences with a rant, and a look at the gallery. Times, 9 July 1791: This day is published The Kentish Barons (1s. 6d.)
