Comments:
Love in a Village [advertised on playbill of 23 Apr.] is obliged to be deferred, on account of the Indisposition of a principal Performer. [2nd piece in place of The Death of Captain Cook; 3rd piece of The Little Hunchback, both advertised on playbill of 23 Apr. But there may have been still a third change: the Account-Book for this night lists The Castle of Andalusia and Poor Vulcan; no corroboration of their having been acted has, however, come to light.] Receipts: #111 14s. (100.0.6; 11.13.6)
