27 Dec 1783:34 (113)
This evening, at the French Academy in Lodge-Alley, at the
particular request of a number of ladies and gentlemen, will
be danced a second time, by five and twenty scholars of the
said academy, a Ballet representing the Return of Peace, and
the Coronation of the Success of America.
Those who perform will be uniformly in shepherd dress, and
execute one hundred and forty different figures.
There will be also decorations and transparent f[?]
emblematic of the occasion, with an addition of figures and
the scenery.
The doors will be opened at four o'clock, and the ballet
will begin precisely at seven.
The company will be permitted to dance both before and after
the performance.
To prevent confusion there will be but a certain number of
tickets, and no money taken at the door.
