Event Comment: MMiss Haughton did second Constantia-Mrs Cibber gave it up-some days ago ($Cross). [Early in the next year was published The Devil upon Crutches in England; or, Night Scenes in London. By a Gentleman of Oxford. Chapter V gives a Short View of the Theatres including sharp criticism of 'the most barefaced bawdry Farce...that ever disgraced the stage, in which the Manager, who has caused it to be reviv'd, is to perform the principal part. The Play, Sir, is call'd the Chances...and this is the tenth night of its representation to crowded houses...Your fair country women...are fond of the most fulsome obscenity on the stage."] Receipts: #150 (Cross)
