Theatre. For the benefit of Mr. J. Hemsworth, prompter to
the theatre. Will be performed, in the course of the
ensuing week, the Tragedy of
Jane Shore.
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 encreased 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
oceasion, 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.
Tickets, for the pit and gallery may be had at Gaine's,
Rivington's, and Robertson's printing offices. Box tickets
at Mr. Pettit's near the theatre. The doors to be opened at
five, and to begin precisely at seven 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 as
responsible for any disappointment that may happen from such
neglect. 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.
