She repeated Jane Shore, and subsequently played Perdita to the Florizel of " gentle" Cauther- ley, — who was said to be a natural son, certainly a well-trained pupil, of Garrick. Her next part was Mrs. Beverley to Garrick's Beverley ; her fourth, Octavia (in " All for Love") to the Antony of Reddish, whose wife she became, or at least is said to have be- come, at an unlucky season. As early as the year 1773, Reddish exhibited one symptom of the malady which compelled him, ulti- mately, to reti...re, namely the want of memory, which indicates weakness of the brain. In March of that year, he played Alonzo, in Home's tragedy so called ; he was the original representative of the part. Although Alonzo is the hero, he does not appear till the play is half over, and when the piece came to nearly that point on the particular night, Reddish was missing; a riot ensued, and his part was read by one of the Aikins. Just before the curtain fell, the truant appeared, declaring that he had only just remembered that it was not an oratorio night.
