We hear from Providence, that on Saturday evening the 29th
of November, the Beggar's Opera was acted with applause at
their play house in Fort street, by a sett of the
inhabitants for the entertainment of the town: His
Excellency John Tinker, Esq; (to whose only administration
they owe their deliverance from Gothick rudeness and
tyranny, their improvement in trade, politeness and every
honest art) was pleased to honour it with his presence, and
expressed a particular satisfaction at the good performance
of the actors. Tickets sold for a dollar each. As their
play-house was but lately finished, and set off with variety
of scenes and decorations, several other plays are to be
acted this winter.
