The reason assigned for a Great Personage's resolution not
to see any more theatrical representations, except
Oratorios, this season, is, that the latter are not
frequented by so many of those who are stiled the mob, as
the former; consequently his M---y will not be so liable to
insults at the one, as the other. The last time his M---y
was at the representation of a play, it is said, a fellow
had the audacity, and savage rudeness, to throw an orange at
him, but fortunately missed his aim.
