By permission o his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, for the
benefit of Mr. Hallam, by a company of comedians. At the
New Theatre, in Chapel-Street, on Monday next, being the
15th of March, will be performed, a comedy, written by
Congreve, call'd
Love Fore Love.
With the humours of Ben the Sailor.
The part of Valentine, to be perform'd, by Mr. Douglass, the
part of Ben the Sailor, (with a song in character) to be
perform'd, by Mr. Hallam, and the part of Angelica, to be
perform'd, by Mrs. Douglass.
To which will be added, (by particular desire) a pantomime
entertainment, in grotesque characters, call'd
Harlequin Collector: or, The Miller Deceiv'd.
In which is introduc'd the celebrated Skeleton Scene, taken
from the Royal Chase: or, Merlin's Cave.
The character of Harlequin, to be perform'd, by Mr. Hallam,
and the character of the clown, to be perform'd, by Mr.
Douglass. To begin exactly at six o'clock. Tickets to be
had of Mr. Gaine, Printer, at the Bible & Crown, Hanover-
Square, and of Mr. Hallam, at his lodgings, in Nassau
Street.
Boxes 8s. Pit 5s. Gallery 3s.
There are partitions made to divide the side boxes, from
one another, and thereby render them more commodious for
select companies. The ladies and gentlemen, who chose to
have boxes reserved for them, are desired to send to Mr.
Hallam.
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 persons so
waited on, than a compliment; for which reason, Mr. Hallam,
hopes the town will dispense with a personal application,
and favour him with their company.
