Charlestown, South-Carolina, Nov. 3. A company of comedians
arrived here last monday from Virginia, who are called the
American Company, and were formerly under the direction of
Mr. Lewis Hallam, 'till his death. Amongst the principal
performers, we hear are, Mr. David Douglass (the present
manager, married to Mrs. Hallam), Mr. Lewis Hallam jun. Mr.
Quelsh, Mrs. Douglass, Mrs. Harman, &c. They come warmly
recommended by many persons of honour and distinction of the
Northern colonies, where they have performed several years
with great applause, and in their private capacities
acquired the best of characters. A theater is already
contracted for, 75 feet by 35, to be erected near where that
of Messrs. Holliday and comp. formerly stood, and intended
to be opened the 5th of December next.
