Event Comment: [In mainpiece Lucianus is not listed in the playbill, but "Wewitzer never came to act Lucianus, so the Prompter's Call-boy [identified as Chatterley by Kemble's list, in his Memoranda, of this season's servants] acted it" (Kemble Mem.).] Receipts: #266 14s. (213.3.0; 53.3.6; 0.7.6)

Event Comment: [In mainpiece the playbill retains Kemble as The Stranger, but "The Publick are most respectfully informed that Kemble being suddenly taken so ill as to preclude the possiblity of his having the honour of appearing before them this Evening, to prevent disappointment of the Play, Raymond at a very short notice has undertaken the Part of The Stranger, and hopes to experience their usual indulgence" (printed slip attached to Kemble playbill).] Receipts: #356 12s. (242.11.6; 111.17.6; 2.3.0)

Event Comment: [The playbill announces phe 1st night of What a Blunder!, but "In consequence of a severe accident C. Kemble met with yesterday evening by a fall in the last scene of Obi, the new opera of What a Blunder! cannot be acted. This evening will be presented The London Hermit" (MS annotation on hay playbill now at Harvard). "In making his leap from the precipice, the needful precautions to break his fall were not employed With sufficient promptitude. The consequence was that Kemble received several violent contusions, and sprained his back in a dangerous manner...The New Opera, in which that actor was to have performed a principal part, was necessarily postponed, and the above Entertainments substituted in its place. A proper apology was made to the audience, as well on account of the unavoidable disappointment, as the incorrectness which might naturally be expected to occur, from the suddenness of the change, and the absence of some of the regular performers" (Dramatic Censor, III, 83).
