Event Comment: "Lewis, with the exception of those repeated pauses and breaks in the middle of his sentences, which form a characteristic defect in his performance, and which, we fear, time and habit have rendered too inveterate to leave any hopes of reform, was very happy in his delineation of Archer. He possesses from nature a peculiar vein of sprightliness and gaiety, which admirably accords with characters of this description" (Dramatic Censor, I, 49). Receipts: #209 9s. 6d. (200.18.6; 8.11.0)

Event Comment: [Pasticcio: an opera, cantata, or other composition made up of various pieces from different authors or sources. See H. Walpole to Mann, 1 Nov. 1752, Our Operas begin tomorrow with a pasticcio full of most of my favourite songs." Grove's Dictionary, II, 688: "A species of lyric drama composed of airs, duets and other movements selected from different sources and so grouped as to provide a mixed audience with the greatest possible number of favourite airs in succession." See favorable notice 20 March in the Public Advertiser. The Westminster Magazine remarked of Oratorio season at cg: "They have not possessed so uninterrupted a flow of success, but we remember that they have experienced more barren seasons. The instrumental band is superior to that at the other house, and the vocal not at all inferior. At this house they have produced selections of musical pieces, by the most capital masters, arranged so as to form entire entertainments. In general these are very agreeable." See 20 March.] Charges: #35
