Event Comment: [There are two
BM playbills (
Harris, Vol. V) for this night. The first announces
First Love, in place of
The Iron Chest, advertised on playbill of 15 Mar. The second carries the notice: The Publick are most respectfully informed that, on account of the Indisposition of a principal Performer, First Love cannot be performed. This evening will be presented [as above]. "The second performance of The Iron Chest was to have taken place on Thursady; but not being quite raady, the intended substitute was First Love. The absence, however, of some performers occasioned another change,
and the substitute was
A Trip to Scarborough. The return being non est inventus with respect to
Barrymore, the character of
Colonel Townly was wholly omitted, but not
missed" (
True Briton, 19 Mar).] Receipts: #249 18s. (232.6.6; 16.19.6; tickets not come in: 0.12.0)
