"The sound was rather too redundant, in general, and the language of the Gods, now and then, too plainly heard in the pit; but, as it arises merely from the freshness of the building, this inconvenience will gradually be amended. "The Prince of Wales was with Mrs. Fitzherbert, and Mr. Sheridan, in the box appropriated to his Royal Highness. Lord Thurlow sat, apparently well pleased, in the box beneath. Mr. and Mrs. Kemble, Mrs. Siddons, and Sir Francis Bourgeois, saw that all was well, in one of the orchestra boxes. "From the frequent _encores_, the Selection was not over till a late hour. The usual cry of 'take care of your pockets' on quitting the Theatre, was superfluous: for _Townsend_ attended to keep a 'wary eye;' so the pickpockets, of course, found it impracticable to make any 'palpable hits.'"--(_Times, March 13, 1794._) * * * * * "Miss Farren has left London for Dublin where she is to perform 12 nights. The terms of her engagement, are £500, and a clear benefit. It is not true that she takes _Derby_ in her route."--(_Times, June 26, 1794._) * * * * * "The high demands made by some Actresses on the Management of Theatres, are so exorbitant, that we trust they will not be complied with. Mrs. Jordan, and Storace, have demanded, the first, £30, and the latter, £20, a night. Much as we admire the abilities of each on the stage, yet we know, from experience, that the higher the salaries of some performers are, the more they are prone to disrespect the public, and to give themselves insufferable airs."--(_Times, Oct. 4, 1794._) * * * * * _Storace_ has come down to the terms of her last engagement, and they are adequate to her abilities. The ci-devant Princess of Petersham still holds out: but it is thought that _want_ of _ammunition_ will occasion her soon to capitulate. When the theatre was opened in Goodman's fields a first rate actress thought herself amply paid with _forty shillings_ per week: but, now, a first rate actress has the conscience to demand _forty pounds_ Per night."--(_Times, Oct. 9, 1794._) * * * * * "Mrs. Jordan has at last _condescended_ to _descend_ to her former situation in the Theatre, at her former salary."--(_Times, Oct. 18, 1794._)
