Theatre. For the benefit of Mr. J. Hemsworth, prompter to
the theatre. Will be performed, on Thursday evening, the
tragedy of
Jane Shore.
Between the play and the farce, solo concerto; end of the
play, Bucks have at ye all.
To which will be added, the farce of
The Citizen, and the original epilogue by old and young
Philpot.
The managers of the theatre having been obliged to postpone
the last performance upwards of three weeks beyond the time
intended, rendered it improbable, from the increased heat of
the weather, that I could derive any advantage from a
benefit play; but being now encouraged by several friends, I
humbly presume to solicit the favour of the public on this
occasion, which will ever be gratefully acknowledged by
their most obedient and devoted humble servant, J.H. N.B.
Every method will be used to keep the house as cool as
possible. Box tickets to be had only of Mr. Petit, next
door to the theatre. Pit and gallery, at Mr. Rivington's,
Mr. Gaine's, and Mr. Robertson's printing-offices. The doors
to be opened at 5, and to begin precisely at 7 o'clock. No
money can possibly be received at the door, as the number of
tickets are issued which the house will hold. The managers
having repeatedly pointed out the necessity of sending
servants in due time, to secure places taken in the boxes,
beg leave once more to request the attention of the public
to that regulation, otherwise they will not consider
themselves responsible for any disappointment that may
happen from such neglect. No persons can be admitted behind
the scenes. Vivant Rex & Regina.
