Wardrobe (Other) £1 6s Departmental By Mr. [?] Paddick for Incidents in Dioclesian The alternative account book for this season (BL Eg. 2270) specifies Mrs, rather than Mr Paddick, and there is the hint of an "s" at the end of the title here. Mrs Paddick worked in the CG wardrobe at this time. But BD vol. 11, pp. 143-44 states that her husband, the ex-actor Mr Paddick, still seems to have worked in the theatre at this time, and/or been a tradesman who sold both theatres wardrobe-related supplies.
Properties 5s 7d Departmental By Properties
Unknown 10s Unknown By Mr. Pollar for 10 Pr. of Wiskers [per] bill Although OED does not record it, the term "whiskers" is, apparently, in rare contemporary usage to describe the elastic ties on ballet shoes, so perhaps that is the meaning here.
