26 October 1751 @ Covent Garden

Event Comment: MMr Barry is greatly improv'd since last year in the character of Hastings , as he is indeed in every part in which I have seen him this winter. Mrs Cibber performed as she always does, to the admiration of her audience, and in my opinion she shewed a particular and new exertion of her art and abilities on those two nights. Great as I had declared my expectations for Miss Macklin, she surpassed them; particularly on the second night. On the former, indeed, in the first and in part of the second act, her embarrassment was insuperable, and I cannot sufficiently admire and applaud the Candour of the Audience on that distressed Occasion! In my judgment, never were two parts better adapted to the persons and powers of the performers, than those of Alicia and Jane Shore to Mrs Cibber and Miss Macklin (Inspector No 207, in Daily Advertiser and Literary Gazette, 30 Oct.)
