Event Comment: [
There are two
BM playbills (
Harris, Vol. V) for this night.
The first announces
First Love, in place of
The Iron Chest, advertised on playbill of 15 Mar.
The second carries
the notice:
The Publick are most respectfully informed that, on account of
the Indisposition of a principal Performer, First Love cannot be performed. This evening will be presented [as above]. "
The second performance of
The Iron Chest was to have taken place on Thursady; but not being quite raady,
the intended substitute was First Love.
The absence, however, of some performers occasioned ano
ther change, and
the substitute was
A Trip to Scarborough.
The return being non est inventus with respect to
Barrymore,
the character of
Colonel Townly was wholly omitted, but not
missed" (
