Theatre Royal. (By particular desire) this evening being the
2d inst. will be presented the tragedy of Tamerlane.
In Act the fourth, will be introduced the favourite song of
"To thee, O gentle Sleep."
Between the Play and Entertainment, will be sung some
favourite Catches.
To which will be added, a farce (never performed here)
called 
The Anatomist; or The Sham Doctor.
The characters by gentlemen of the Army.
Places for the boxes to be registered at Mr. Petit's, next
door to the Theatre, otherwise they cannot be kept.
Tickets to be had at Mr. Petit's, and the different
Printers.
The doors to be opened at 5, and to begin precisely at 7
o'clock.
The managers having repeatedly pointed out the necessity of
sending servants in due time, to secure the places taken in
the boxes, beg leave once more to request the attention to
that regulation, otherwise they will not consider themselves
as responsible for any disappointment, that may happen from
such neglect.
No money can possibly be received at the door, as the number
of tickets are issued which the house will hold.
No persons can be admitted behind the scenes.
