Theatre Royal. 
On Monday evening, being the 8th instant, will be presented,
(not performed this season) the comedy of
The Recruiting Officer.
In the third act, and in the character of Serjeant Kite will
be introduced the favourite song of "O what a charming
thing's a battle,"
To which will be added, (being the last time of performing
it this season) the farce of
Love a-la-Mode.
Box tickets to be had only of Mr. Petit, next door to the
Theatre.
Pit and gallery at Mr. Rivington's, Mr. Gaine's, and of Mr.
Petit.
The characters by gentlemen of the Army.
The doors to be opened at five, and to begin precisely at
seven o'clock.
No money can possibly be received at the door, as the number
of tickets are issued which the house will hold.
The Managers having repeatedly pointed out the necessity of
sending servants in due time, to secure places taken in the
boxes, beg leave once more to request the attention of the
public to that regulation, otherwise they will not consider
themselves as responsible for any disappointment that may
happen from such neglect.
No persons to be admitted behind the scenes.
