The repeated insults, which some mischievous persons in the
gallery have given, not only to the stage and orchestra, but
to the other parts of the audience, call loudly for
reprehension; and since they have been, more than once,
ineffectually admonish'd of the impropriety of such a
conduct in a public assembly, they are now (for the last
time) inform'd, that unless the more regular and better
dispos'd people, who frequent that part of the theatre, will
interfere, either by turning out the offenders, or pointing
them out to the constables, who attend there on purpose,
that they may be brought to justice, the gallery for the
future must be shut up. The doors to be open'd at 5, and the
play to begin precisely at half an hour after six o'clock.--
-Places in the boxes may be taken at the Theatre; and it is
requested, that the ladies and gentlemen who send to engage
boxes, wou'd be pleased to ascertain the number of seats
they wou'd have reserved for them.
