Actors of the Present Day and Mr Tray at Covent Garden
The piece laments fading fame for actors and praises Garrick and Johnson while previewing a critical notice of Mr. Teary of Covent Garden. It argues actors gain fame for social life and pleases in many roles but warns against restlessness and overstudy. It endorses Tray to focus on comedy and abandon Kemble-inspired mannerisms for a truer stage presence.
