By permission of his honour the Lieutenant-Governor, by a
company of comedians. At the New Theatre in Chapel-Street,
this evening, being Thursday the 7th instant, will be
presented the Tragedy of CATO.
Cato, by Mr. Douglas. Sempronius, by Mr. Hallam. Marchia,
by Mrs. Douglas. Lucia, by Mrs. Morris, the original
prologue to be spoken by Mr. Qwelch.
To which will be added, A ballad farce, call'd
A WONDER! An Honest Yorkshireman.
Places in the boxes to be taken of Mr. Douglass, at Mr.
Hampton's, near the theatre.
**Complaints having been several times made, that a number
of gentlemen crowd the stage and very much interrupt the
performance, and as it is impossible the actors when thus
obstructed should do that justice to their parts they
otherwise would; it will be taken as a particular favour if
no gentleman will be offended that he is absolutely refus'd
admittance at the stage door, unless he has previously
secured himself a place in either the stage or upper boxes.
No money will be taken at the doors, nor any person admitted
without tickets, which are to be sold by H. Gaine, in
Hanover-Square. Boxes 8s. Pit 5s. Gallery 3s. The doors to
be opened at four, and the play to begin precisely at six
o'clock. No person can be admitted behind the scenes.
