Event Comment: MMist's, 6 Jan.. We hear that in a certain Alley in Wapping during the Holidays the Coronation of Anna Bullenv has been represented by Punch's Company of Actors with very great Applause; and that all that have seen it agree, that they have far excell'd their Brethren of Drury-Lane in the Conduct of that Farce; and, it is the common Opinion, that the wooden Actors have much the best Heads for Theatrical Decorations

Event Comment: [By Colley Cibber.] Never Acted before. A New Pastoral (of Three Acts). N.B. Printed Books of the Play will be sold at the Theatre. Fog's, 11 Jan. On Tuesday Night last a ridiculous Piece was acted at...Drury-lane, which was neither Comedy, Tragedy, Opera, Pastoral or Farce; however, no Thief or Robber of any Rank was satyriz'd in it, and it could be said to give Offence to none but Persons of Sense and good Taste; yet it met with the Reception it well deserv'd, and was hiss'd off the Stage.

Event Comment: UUniversal Spectator, 11 Jan.: Last Wednesday his Highness the Prince went to...Drury-Lane, to see Mr Cibber's new Pastoral....The Actors were for a while prevented from performing, by the great Disturbance some of the Audience made. But on a Speech from Mr Cibber, with a Promise it should not be acted again, the Catcalls, &c. ceased, and they were suffered to go on and end the same.
