Theatre Royal.  (By particular desire) This day, being the
10th instant, will be performed, the tragedy of
Douglas, 
to which will be added, a farce called, 
The Apprentice. 
The characters by gentlemen of the army.
Tickets to be had at Mr. Petit's, and the different
printers.  Places for the boxes to be registered at Mr.
Petit's, next door to the Theatre, otherwise they cannot be
kept.  The doors to be opened at 5, and to begin precisely
at 7 o'clock.  The managers desire that servants may be sent
to keep the places taken at Mr. Petit's, for the boxes,
otherwise they cannot be answerable for their being filled
by other company.  No money can possibly be received at the
door, as the number of tickets are issued which the house
will hold.  No person can be admitted behind the scenes.
Vivant Rex & Regina. N.B. A principal performer in the
tragedy of Venice Preserved, having had the misfortune to
break his arm, the managers propose to substitute the
tragedy of Douglas in order to prevent the public being
disappointed in theatrical amusements.  Tickets taken for
Venice Preserv'd, may be either used for Douglas, or
returned.
