---Boxes 7s, 6d. Pit 5s. gallery 3s. ***Miss Cheer begs
leave to acquaint the town, that, the ceremony of waiting on
ladies and gentlemen with bills at benefits, has been for
some years laid aside in this company; instead of a mark of
respect, which it was originally designed, it has been
often, and not without reason, taken in the light of an
importunate sollicitation, equally painfull to the friends
of the theatre and the performers. She, therefore, flatters
herself, that this circumstance alone, sufficiently points
out the impropriety of a personal application.
