(Mr. Quelch, is sorry to be oblig'd to acquaint the town
that Mr. Hallam, who has been indispos'd for this week past,
will not be able to perform this evening; for which reason
he is under the necessity of putting off his play till
Thursday next.)
By permission of his Honour the Lieutenant Governor, For the
Benefit of Mr. Quelch.
By a Company of Comedians.  At the New-Theatre in Chapel-
Street, On Thursday next, the 4th of March, will be
presented, a Tragedy, written by Shakespear, and alter'd by
Mr. Garrick, call'd
Romeo and Juliet.
The part of Romeo, to be perform'd by Mr. Hallam. The part
of Juliet, to be perform'd by Mrs. Douglass. Lady Capulet,
by Mrs. Allyn;  Nurse, by Mrs. Morris. With the additional
scene, and  The Funeral Procession of Juliet, to the
Monuments of the Capulets. To which will be sung, A Solemn
Dirge. The vocal parts, by Mrs. Morris, Mr. Quelch, Mr.
Tremain, Mr. Sturt, and Mrs. Allyn.
To begin exactly at six o'clock.
Tickets to be had of Mr. Gaine, in Hanover-Square, and of
Mr. Quelch, at his lodgings, at Capt. Crew's, next door but
one to the Theatre.
Boxes 8 s.--- Pit 5s.--- Gallery 3s.
[Hand pointing right] The ceremony of waiting on ladies and
gentlemen at their houses with bills, has been for some time
left off in this company: the frequent solicitations on
these occasions, having been found rather an inconvenience
to the person so waited on, than a complement:  For which
reason, Mr. Quelch, hopes the town will dispense with a
personal application, and favour him with their company.
N.B. There are partitioners made to divide the side boxes
from one another, and thereby render them more commodious
for select companies.-- The ladies and gentlemen who chuse
to have boxes reserv'd for them, are desir'd to send to Mr.
Quelch.
