Tickets are sold at the London coffee-house, at Mr.
Hawkins's in Walnut-Street, at Mr. Frauncis's in Water-
Street, by Miss Hallam near the theatre, and at Mrs. Scott's
in Lombard-Street, at which last office, places in the boxes
may be taken. Box 7s. 6d Pit 5s. Gallery 3s.
Miss Hallam 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 importune solicitation,
equally painful to the friends of the theatre and the
performers. She, therefore, flatters herself, 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.
