1 Aug 1771:5452 (1351)
From the Publick Advertiser.
By Licence of the Common-Council of the City of London.
To be revived, not performed these 1800 years,
For the Benefit of Mr. Wilkes,
The Tragedy of Cataline.
The Part of Cataline by Junius, who will upon that occasion
unmask,
Cicero, Lord M----,
Cato, (for that night only) Lord C---m, being his first
appearance in that character,
Caesar, Duke of G-----,
Favourers of Cataline in the Senate, by Malagrida and
Company,
Cataline's Associates, by Mr. Wilkes's Phalanx,
Cataline's Army, by the Coal-Heavers. Spitalfields Rioters,
and Mob of London.
Between the Acts Mr. Wilkes will tell a story; Laughers will
attend.
Mr. Wilkes having failed of a character, desires one may be
pointed out for him to act; he is tired of the publick part
he has lately personated, and would be glad of a good
private character.
After the Play will be performed, a new Farce, called,
Publick Distresses Private Advantages.
The Principle character will be attempted by Mr. Wilkes.
The Hint of the Entertainment is taken from the Fable of the
Bees, or Private Vices Publick Benefits.
With an Address to the town, by Mr. Wilkes, proving that
publick and private virtues have nothing to do with each
other.
