Mr. Douglass, who came here with a company of comedians,
having apply'd to the gentlemen in power for permission to
play, has (to his great mortification) met with a positive
and absolute denial: He has in vain represented, that such
are his circumstances, and those of the other members of his
company, that it is impossible for them to move to another
place; and tho' in the humblest manner he begg'd the
magistrates wou'd indulge him in acting as many plays as
would barely defray the expences he and the company have
been at, in coming to this city, and enable them to proceed
to another; he has been unfortunate enough to be
peremptorily refused it. As he has given over all thoughts
of acting, he begs leave to inform the publick, that in a
few days he will open an Histrionic academy, of which proper
notice will be given in this paper.
