Theatre, For the Benefit of Mr. J. Hemsworth, Prompter to
the Theatre, will be performed to-morrow evening, the
Tragedy of Jane Shore.  Between the play and farce, a
Hautboy Concerto.  End of the Play, Bucks have it 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 improbably, 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 favor 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.
Tickets for the pit and gallery may be had at Rivington's,
Gaine's, and Robertson's Printing Offices.
Box tickets at Mr. Petit'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 person can be admiited behind the scenes.
Viviant Rex & Regina.
