Event Comment: Mainpiece: By Particular Desire. Paid Mrs Baks for walking 13 nights in King Henry VIII to 15th Inst.: #3 5s. (Account Book). [Mrs Baks as a walking super seems to have done better in salary at 4s. 1d. per night than did the men (Gard &c.) who perform'd as Ostriches, Asses, Hogs &c. in the afterpieces at 2s. 6d. per night. The difference may have depended upon whether one was a mute in a mainpiece or an afterpiece.] Receipts: #159 2s
