Event Comment: Mainpiece: By Command of their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Princess of Wales. This day is Publish'd The Case of Mrs Clive Submitted to the Publick. [This is Mrs Clive's 22-page complaint against the 'opression' of the managers of both patent theatres, who, it seems, formed a cartel to drive down actors' salaries, and caused by Mrs Clive's unemployment. She was dropped from Covent Garden without due notice and not for cause. She was not applied to by the Manager of Drury Lane, although he knew her to be unemployed, because he still owed her #160 12s. Her case seemed doubly hard to her since she had equipped herself with a fine wardrobe for theatrical use, had acted diligently in main and afterpiece, often on the same night to the prejudice of her health; had been at great expense in Masters for singing, for which article alone the managers now give #6 a week." Concludes by pleading for publick support of her Case. She returned to cg to play Lappet in the Miser, 30 Nov. She states that the published list of salaries in the London Daily Post of 15 Oct. 1734 is incorrect.

Victor to Garrick: My closest attention was never more commanded than by you last night in Othello....I was most inclined to fear for you in your address to the Senate, but there, even there, you excelled your present rival (Quin) whose merit lies chiefly in declamation-I found you had very judiciously applied your study to the great and striking passages in the character--the trance had a fine effect, your manner of falling into it, and recovery from it, was amazingly beautiful...it would be ridiculous to doubt of your ability to act this part in the utmost perfection; but to arrive at that point there are some things to be done.--Genest, IV, 147
