To the Public. The repeated encouragement, countenance and
protection the American Theatre has met with here, from an
audience one of the most respectable on the continent, is
universally known, and has deeply imprinted the sentiments
of gratitude in the breasts of the American Company of
Comedians-- in consequence of which, Mr. Douglass, Manager
of that company, sent me here from New-York, to build an
elegant theatre, fit for the accommodation of so numerous
and polite an audience as formerly honoured this stage with
their patronage.
. . . [Several paragraphs explaining why a theatre will not
be built-- Apparently because of the unrest and struggles
with Britain]
[signed] John Henry.
Henry intending to depart the province in about ten days,
proposes to entertain the public for a couple of nights,
with Lectures on Different Subjects; and by permission of
his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor,
Wednesday next, being the 2d instant, at Mr. Hawes's Long-
Room on the Bay, will deliver
Lecture on Heads.
The singing between the different parts, by Miss Storer. The
particulars of which will be expressed in Bills of the Day.
* Tickets, at a Dollar each, to be had of Mr. Henry, Mr.
Hawes, and the Printer of this paper.
