18 October 1775

Event Information
Theatre: Drury Lane Theatre
Theatrical Season: 1775-1776
Volume: 4
Comments: Mrs King was put in the Bills in the following manner: Rosalind By Command by Mrs King. A Circumstance I never knew before, nor do I know by what accident it happened. I'm Sure it's a particular Honour, which her acting cannot deserve (Hopkins Diary). By Command. [Macmillan's note form Kemble comments on Hopkins' astonishment at the command procedure: "This circumstance was a contrivance of Mr Garrick's in order to mortify Mrs Yates, Mrs Abington, and Miss Younge."] Paid Mr Loutherbourg on acct. #31 13s. 4d. (Treasurer's Book). [This payment occured monthly, and was made up to #261 10s. 4d. by a final payment of #8 on 29 June 1776. No further itemization of it will be made.] Receipts: #260 12s. (Treasurer's Book)
