Event Comment: Last Night of the Subscription. "Last night Cipriani personating a Frenchman, appeared with the national cockade in his hat; the audience expressed their disapprobation by violent hissing, and the actor was obliged to cast down his hat, which a gentleman behind the scenes took up, and tearing out the offensive ensign of sedition, threw it away--the audience warmly applauding" (Morning Herald, 16 May)
