The New Hippocrates and a Modern Tragedy At Drury Lane
The writer reviews two pieces staged at Drury Lane on Mr King's benefit night. The New Hippocrates satirizes fashion and quackery, with Miss Grifeldine Wapentake praised for a foxhunting portrait, while Foote's Modern Tragedy critiques solo acting gimmicks using a living projector and painted figures.
