Event Comment: [Afterpiece in place of The Island of St. Marguerite, advertised on playbill of 2 Feb. Beginning with this night Kemble, as acting manager, rearranged the order of listing the dramatis personae on the playbills, i.e., not, as had hitherto been the universal custom, according to the importance of the character in the play or the importance of the actor, but according to the social rank of each character. See also Genest, VII, 57-58, who remarks, inter alia, that "the vast importance which actors attach to the situation of their names in the bills, and to some other points of theatrical etiquette, must appear ridiculous to every body but themselves."] Receipts: #126 17s. 6d.
