Comments:
[In afterpiece the playbill retains Dodd, but he "having lost his Father, an apology was made for R. Palmer's playing his character in the Critic; and though the apology was a very handsome one, it is but justice to say it was unnecessary, R. Palmer acquitting himself in such a manner as did him infinite credit" (Morning Chronicle, 4 Feb.).] Receipts: #186 8s. (151.1; 33.19; 1.8)
