Abstract
This article examines the 1750 “Battle of the Romeos,” a twelve-night run of Romeo and Juliet at both of London’s patent theatres, during which audiences sought to compare the performances of David Garrick at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane to those of Spranger Barry at the theatre in Covent Garden. With reference to Garrick’s 1748 and 1750 print editions of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, media representations of the battle, and insights from the Cross-Hopkins theatre diaries concerning the profitability of competition and the importance of paratexts such as prologues and epilogues, I argue that examination of non-parodic imitation and repetition in print and performance, and not only differentiation in performance, is crucial to understanding the effects of dramatized competition upon celebrity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
