Theatre Royal. 
(By particular desire.)  On Monday, the 21st instant, will
be presented, the tragedy of
Tamerlane.
In Act the fourth will be introduced the favourite song of
To thee, O gentle sleep.
Between the play and entertainment will be sung some
favourite catches.
To which will be added, a farce, called
The Anatomist; or, The Sham Doctor.
The characters by gentlemen of the Army.
Places for the boxes to be registered at Mr. Petit's, next
door to the Theatre, otherwise they cannot be kept.
Tickets to be had at Mr. Petit's and the different Printers.
The doors to be opened at 5, and to begin precisely at 7
o'clock.
No money can possibly be taken at the door, as the number of
tickets are issued which the house can hold.
No persons can be admitted behind the scenes.
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.
