(By permission.) At the sign of the Indian-King, in
Baltimore, in a large room fitted up in a theatrical manner,
on Monday Evening, the 2d day of December, and every Monday
and Thursday following, if fair, for a few weeks, the noted
Old Artist will exhibit his grand medley of entertainments,
consisting of sundry curious performance, by dexterity of
hand. Interspersed with moral and entertaining lectures on
the Art of Deception and the Force of Credulity.
With the comical, farcical, operatical, whimsical humours
of Seignor Punchinello, and his articifical company of
Comedians, near four feet high, properly dressed, by whom
will be performed a play and farce, with a variety of drolls
and interludes between the parts, sundry incidental
prologues and epilogues, particularly a piece by way of
introduction; 2d. the impossibility of pleasing every body;
3d, a defence for lying, to begin with the old noted
artist's most amazing table tricks, and slight of hand, by a
number of different fancies, not enumerated --whose uncommon
performances in that art are so well known, throughout all
the nations of Europe, and States of America, for 30 years
past, as to need no recommendation. He is now arrived from
Alexandria, where he has resided, at various times, for many
years past, and had the honour of a polite audience, and
mostly the same for three months, on the evenings of his
performance. --To which shall be added, fifty figures,
representing the various nations of the earth, in their
proper colours and dresses, from four to eight feet, with
moral lectures on each figure.
Tickets, at five shillings each; Children at half a
dollar, or one ticket for two, if under ten years, may be
had at the printing-office, or at the Old Man's Room. To
begin at seven o'clock.
Gay-Street, Baltimore, Nov. 30, 1782.
