Event Comment: "Among other Obligations that the Town has to the new Open is that it has, for this year, delivered the Play-goer from his periodical Endurance of Rowe's Tamerlane" (Public Advertiser, 6 Nov.). The reference is to the long established custom of performing Tamerlane either on 4 Nov. (the date of William III's birth) or 5 Nov. (the date of his landing in England). In the play the virtuous Tamerlane was held to be the portrait of an upright monarch, and the vicious Bajazet [i.e. Louis xiv] as that monarch's enemy. At DL Tamerlane was acted on either or both of these nights uninterruptedly from 1716 to 1777; at LIF and CG, with the exception of five seasons, from 1721 to 1784. The Doors to be opened at 5:15.

Event Comment: "The Ring, to talk of [Mrs Siddons in] this Scene, would be Actum agere--almost every Body has seen it, and every one who has seen it must have felt, to their Heart's Core. As much ought to be said of some other Parts of the Play, viz. the Look at the Child, when she gives her Hand to Villeroy!, Her expressive Deportment at the Banquet!, Her Fainting!, Her Death! To all and each of these we desire the Printer not to omit, what they so potently demand, the Note of Admiration!!!" (Public Advertiser, 15 Nov.). Receipts: #249 2s. 6d. (228/7/0; 19/17/0; 0/18/6)

"We left the Theatre with the precise Impressions a Theatre ought to leave--We were perhaps more good, at any Rate certainly we felt more fond of Goodness" (Public Advertiser, 30 Nov.). "Mrs Siddons, in the third act of the Fair Penitent, was so far affected, with assuming the mingled passions of pride, fear, anger, and conscious guilt, that I might appeal to the spectators, whether, in spite of the rouge which the actress is obliged to put on, some paleness did not shew itself in her countenance" (Davies, II, 56).
