In the ^rvf-nt ojid constant loê, t"n e '-dl'l resignation, the unaffecteO innocence of t.jitj auitible part she seemed, to be actuated by nature only. j:he Times also noticed that ''the: secxndar^ and inferior characters ... are nov in the possession of more able performers than has generally been the case." In a short notice of Povell's debut as iachimo, 1'he Monthly Mirror reiaarJteu that he was "too tame and even" and that 'his colouring was chaste, but it vanted warmth." 1 ^ No account is given _L.U the Kerable Memoranda of the receipts of this performance. ?rs. Pope had appeared the previous y oar (on September 2'L< and October 4) "/it 1 , her husband as Posthumus. Pope made a good impression in the scene where he is persuaded t ?t luio.êij is unfaithful and "t: e vorkin^c of his passion were in strict conformity with those nature itse.ii would have taught". (j^L_;i;;i£ji» Septe. ;oer 29, 1802). Mrs. Pope - "admirably suited" to the part, - was a successful Imogen, commended especially by The_j£ji_ê;.; for her reading of PosthujTius 1 letter to Pisanio. The reviewer concluded his notice vdth the hint tl.at it would be "a vise speculation" to repeat the play frequently: in the event it had one other performance vith the Popes. xlo record of the receipts has been locate^. 44. In 1^06, K'.-ruble appeared as Posthumus aâin, xvith cooire and 'iss oraith as Iachimo and Imogen. The Monthly 'irror noted that thi.? Covent Garden revival lacked "the spleiidour \r ] ich attended /Its/ revival at Brury Lane, in 1801". There were four r,< rfoimances, on January 18 and 23, and February 1 and 17. On êuruary 1 Henry Siddons too.£ Kemble's place, the superior actor "havin_; a very bad cough" (Professional Lraoranda, February 1, 1306). The receipts were respectable,
although the fibres for appearances of Faster Betty during the month of January outshine them: the Cymbeline receipts are as follows - Jan.18 £241.12.6 ?3 £30?.11.6 ieb. 1 £271. 6.6 17 ~252.19.6 The receipts for "aster .jetty's performances can be represented by the loliowin^; examples.
