*** Mr. Allyn 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. He therefore flatters himself, that this
circumstance alone, sufficiently points out the impropriety
of a personal application.
*** There are some alterations made in the house, in order
to render it cool.
[hand pointing right] The tickets which were issued for the
School for Lovers, intended for Miss Hallam's benefit, but
postponed on account of the weather, will be admitted on a
future night, of which timely notice will be given.
