Comments:
[In mainpiece the playbill retains Kemble as Jaffier, but "On Saturday evening Whitfield played the part of Jaffier in the room of Kemble, at four hours notice, and happy it was for Whitfield that an opportunity offered to prove how much his talents have been kept in the shade; his conception of the part was critically without error, his delivery of Otway's language with good emphasis and his pathos extremely natural and interesting" (Diary, 16 Apr.).] Receipts: #296 6s. 6d. (254.14.6; 38.14.0; 2.18.0)
