Charles Kerahle and Decamp played juiderius and Arviraûs, to the satisfaction of Kemblc, who (saic< ôaden) "used to call the prettiest !Kin, r he ever saw upon the staê ... the elegant rusticity of the two boys ... who really looked to be of the same family". hoaden adds that in the final scene, when by titans of G-uiderius' "rôle, a sen uine star" the two princes are identified - The innocent ergoyf.ue.nt vith vh.i.ch Charles KernLle presented himself, fcr the verification of this natural test, did not escape the tasteful eye of his brother - "That now, Charles", said LF , "vaa the I-OjA'Rl of actinj". 10 42, Cymbeline v:ao given four tiês ir. 1L01: on February 12, 14, 17 and 1S. From Kemble's i-'rofesoional r-eiccranda (rritish iiur-eujii ^cuitional iISS 31, 974-5) we can ascertain the receipts of the performance, and adduce some comparisons from the receipts of other plays. The Memoranda give a list of salaries which show the difference in status between Ke.able, the manager at £31.10.0 a week (and ten guineas for every night he acted above three nights in one week), his sister, the leading female actress with a salary of £20 a week, and Barrj.Tiore, who had only recently "by due attention and unremitting industry insured hiinself a permanent situation at Drury Lane". ' Barrymore received £ H 0.^ The receipts for the performances of Cyj. ,b_eline in 1801 can be summarized thus:
