Michael Kelly in London - 25 July, 1803

from Reminiscences of Michael Kelly, pages 184-185:

On the 25th July, Colman produced his translation from "La Folie," of "Love 
laughs at Locksmiths," for which I composed the music. It was very strongly cast,
and well represented in all its parts. Elliston's Captain Beldair was full of
buoyant gaiety. Mathews's Risk was an inimitable piece of acting ; he had two
songs, " The Farm Yard," and "Miss Bailey," both of which were always encored; "Miss Bailey" was a universal favourite, and the piece ran the whole of the
season.
