First York Theatre appearance by Mrs Knight in Country Girl
The York Theatre company presents Mrs Knight in the Country Girl, sister to Miss Farren of Drury Lane. Her performance earns praise for voice and figure, with promising prospects if she continues. Mr Sturray in Moody also receives public favor, though his strong pronunciation of the letter two is noted as potentially harsh to listeners.
