21-28 May 1737:31 (174)
On Thursday night lat the Recruiting Officer was acted for
the entertainment of the Ancient and honourable Society of
Free and Accepted Masons, who came to the Play-house about 7
o'clock, in the usual manner, and made a very decent and
solemn appearance; there was a fuller house on this occasion
than ever had been known in this place before. A proper
prologue and epilogue were spoke, and the Entered
Apprentices and Masters songs sung upon the stage, which
were joined in chorus by the Masons in the pit, to the
satisfaction and entertainment of the whole audience. After
the play, the Masons return'd to the lodge at Mr.
Shepheard's, in the same order observed in coming to the
Play-house.
