Comments:
A New Comedy written by Mr Moor, author of ye Foundling--the 3 first Acts went off without much hissing, but the two last were but indifferently treated; a great party for & against it, but it was given out again--great crowding to get in, & ye Pit took possession of many of the Boxes, wch confus'd ye accounts (Cross). [Cast taken from the 1751 edn., since the General Advertiser merely lists the actors and does not mention the Prologue or Epilogue.] Receipts: #180 (Cross)
