On Wednesday evening, the 28th instant, at Concert-Hall,
will be read, an entertainment, call'd the Musical Lady, to
which will be added a farce, call'd the Mock-Doctor, or, a
Dumb-Lady cur'd, by a person who has read and sung, in most
of the great towns in America.  He personates all the
characters, and enters into the different humours, or
passions, as they change from one to another throughout the
entertainment.  Between the acts, will be sung, a pastoral
song, set by Dr. Arne; a new song in the anacreontick taste;
a song from the Oratoria of Solomon, and Dean Swift's
Cantata.  Tickets for admission to be had at Green and
Russell's printing-office, at the Bunch of Grapes, in King-
Street, (and at Concert-Hall, from four o'clock in the
afternoon, 'till seven) at half-a-dollar each.  'Tis hoped
those ladies and gentlemen who intend to favor the performer
with their presence, will send for tickets early, as taking
money at the door hinders him from beginning so soon as he
otherwise should do.  To begin at 7 o'clock.
