Comments:
[Cooper, who was from the Stockport theatre, is identified in Genest, VII, 263.] Afterpiece: 1st Time at this Theatre [1st acted at cg, 23 Apr. 1783]. "We do not think Cooper's caution, on approaching the platform [in I. iv], either natural or characteristic...Of course he would not peep about, as if appalled at his own shadow...It has been usual with performers in this scene to walk to and fro, on the stage, and certainly the effect is improved by it" (Monthly Mirror, Dec. 1795, p. 48). Receipts: #221 9s. 6d. (220.14.6; 0.15.0)
