Theatre Royal.  (By Particular Desire.) This Evening,
Will be presented the Tragedy of
Douglas,
To which will be added, a Farce called
The Lying Valet,
The characters by gentlemen of the Navy and Army.
Places for the boxes to be taken at Mr. Petit's, next door
to the Theatre, where daily attendance will be given from
twelve o'clock till three.
The managers request that gentlemen who have places in the
same box, will upon coming to the house, occupy those seats
only for which they are registered in the Box-Keeper's Book; 
and that servants sent to keep places may not be turned out,
or otherwise molested.
The disturbance made in the pit on the last night of
performance, having compelled the managers to the
disagreeable necessity of interfering, in order to preserve
the decorum due, not only to the audience, but also to the
gentlemen concerned in the Theatre, it is hoped such
improprieties will not be again attempted.
Tickets to be had at Messrs. Rivington's, Gaine's, and
Robertson's, Printers; at Loosely and Elms's; at the Coffee-
House; and at Mr. Petit's, next door to the Theatre.
Boxes and Pit at 8s.  Gallery 4s.  No money will be taken at
the door.
Ladies and gentlemen are desired to send servans to keep
their places at half past four to prevent mistakes.
 Vivant Rex & Regina.
