[Both surpassed by Mrs Thomson at cg.] Mrs Scott does justice to the songs, being an accomplished singer, but as an actress she is insufferably insipid and inanimate."] Paid Mr Russell for men's cloaths #30; Paid Mr Follett on note #10 10s.; 2 Clarinets 6 nights (2nd incl.) #9 9s.

08 January 1772 @ Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: Theatrical Review, 8 Jan.: Mr Baddeley's conception of Polonius's character is just and natural, and in every respect apparently agreeable to the author's intention. It is worthy to be remarked, that through the whole, he never sports with propriety, or through wantonness, degrades, this loquacious old Courtier into a buffoon, as some we have seen have done.
