(17**-18**) Amateur comic actress.

In a review of the The Devil To Pay (Coffey)on 25 January 1818, the visiting actress Mrs Cooke's performance is said to recall memories of "our lamented Comic Actress Mrs Jordan..." who apparently had "extraordinary powers, particularly in her favorite Character of 'Nel' in the Afterpiece The Devil To Pay" (Kaapsche Courant, 31 January, 1818, cit in Bosman 1928: p. 152-3).
