Event Comment: [Afterpiece in place of The Honest Thieves, advertised on playbill of 17 Sept.] "The shameful neglect of Whitfield in the etiquette of dress in the character of Hastings must not pass unnoticed. He came on arranged in every point for the drawing-room, although he is supposed to be on his journey, and is informed by his companion Young Marlow that they must change their travelling dresses...An audience must naturally look to the Manager for due observance of stage decorum...and we trust that on future occasions the actor will not be allowed to sport with propriety by any fantastical display of his own, which is in direct oppostion to the character he ought to represent, and to the text with which he must be acquainted" (Times, 20 Sept.).
