Sir Walter Greg remarks in connection with this note that "It is difficult to see how the note got in, unless the quarto had been used in the theatre." (Dramatic Documents, I, 212n). W. J. Lawrence mentions this note at page 403n of his Pre-Restoration Stage Studies.

T. W. Baldwin (Organization and Personnel of the Shakespearean Company, p. 142) quotes this stage direction from the folio and assumes it originated in a manuscript, which, he warns, may not have been the author's.
