Captain Farquhar. call'd, the

Mirabel, by Mr. Morris.  And the part of Bissare, to be
perform'd by Mrs. Douglass.  (The other characters, both in
the play and farce, are express'd in the bill of the day.) 
To which will be added, a farce, (not acted here these eight
years) call'd, 
Miss in Her Teens: or The Medley of Lovers.  
The part of Captain Flash, to be perform'd by Mr. Hallam,
Captain Lovett, by Mr. Tomlinson.  And the part of Miss

Gaine, printer, at the Bible & Crown, hanover Square, and of
Mr. Hallam, at her 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 choose to
have boxes reserved for them, are desired to send to Mrs.
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, Mrs. Hallam,
hopes the town will dispense with a personal application,
and favour her with their company.
