*** Mrs. Harman begs leave to acquaint the town, that, the
ceremony of waiting on ladies and gentlemen with bills at
benefits, has been for some years laid aside in this
company: Instead of a mark of respect, which it was
originally designed, it has been often, and not without
reason, taken in the light of an importunate solicitation,
equally painful to the friends of the theatre and
performers. She therefore flatters herself, that this
circumstance alone, sufficiently points out the impropriety
of a personal application.
