By permission of his honour the lieutenant-governor.  For
the benefit of Mr. Morris.  By a company of comedians.  At
the new theatre in Chaple-Street, this day, being the 22nd
of March, will be presented, a comedy, written by Capt.
Farquhar, call'd, 
The Beaux Stratagem.
The part of Archer, to be perform'd by Mr. Hallam,  The part
of Aimwell, to be perform'd by Mr. Douglass,  The part of
the Scrub, by Mr. A. Hallam, and  The part of Mrs. Sullen,
to be perform'd by Mrs.Douglass.
To which will be added, (by particular desire) a ballad
opera, call'd 
Flora:  or, Hob in the Well.
The part of Hob, by Mr. Allyn, and  The part of Flora, by
Mrs. Hallam. 
To begin exactly at 6 o'clock.
Tickets to be had of H. Gaine, printer, bookseller and
stationer, at the Bible & Crown, in Hanover-Square, and of
Mr. Morris, at Mr. Earle's matter, near Beekman's-Slip.
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 Mr. Morris.
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. Morris
hopes the town will dispense with a personal application,
and favour him with their company.
