Great Applause. The Prologue about Mrs Cibber's Leaving Rich (Cross). Romeo was perform'd by Barry and Juliet by Miss Nossiter, being the first time of her appearing on any theatre. The delicacy of her figure, and her gracefull distress, obtained for her the warmest applause; and as she grew more animated in the progress, she frequently alarmed the audience with the most striking attitudes. If this young actress studies the management of her voice, and attains a more simple elocution--she will prove a shining ornament to the stage (Gentleman's Magazine, Oct., p. 493, from Grays' Inn Journal, 13 Oct.). [The Occasional Prologue was printed in the Public Advertiser, 20 Nov.: @Who could have thought that Juliet could e'er prove@False to her Romeo, faithless to her Love?@She Mrs Cibber? on whose voice the raptured audience hung,@Caught with th'angelic music of her tongue;@Whose native tenderness so oft has charm'd;@Whose grief afflicted, and whose Rage alarm'd,@Deaf to her vows, and to her Romeo's calls,@Has fled alas from our Verona's walls!@In such a plight what cou'd poor Romeo do?@Why, Faith, like modern lovers, seek anew;@And happy shall I think me in my Choice,@If 'tis approv'd of by the public voice.@ Twenty three more lines present the qualifications for Miss Nossiter to play the part, and plead for an encouraging round of applause for her.] and as she grew more animated in the progress, she frequently alarmed the audience with the most striking attitudes.
