Event Comment: Mainpiece: Not acted this season. Tomorrow will be Reviv'd the second part of King Henry the 4th, New Dress'd in the Habits of the Times (playbill). [In a letter 14 Nov. 1762, T. H. suggested to Garrick a scenic device for the last scene of Act II, of the Wonder, a device he had noted in the Portuguese theatres in Lisbon, to give a view of a number of gallants passing before the window of a lady": two large windows to be made in the scene, cover'd with gauze to give a transparancy and the effect of glass, the windows to be barrel likewise in imitation of a casement (Harvard, D. Garrick, Original MSS (1930) No. 6. TS 1116.256.3).
