*p1753 03 10 dl The Brothers. ^As17530303^.*c1753 03 10 dl [The <i>Public Advertiser</i> published a long <i>New Historical Epilogue</i>, intended by the Author as a proper sequel to the Tragedy of the <i>Brothers</i>. It speaks of the authentic history in the play, and of the effective moral lesson, closing: @As public woes a Prince's crimes pursue,@So public blessings are his Virtues' due.@Shout Britons, shout!--auspicious Fortune Bless!@And cry, Long live--OUR title to success!@ This was followed by a Letter from $Mr Booth= in the Shades to $Dr Young=, on his Tragedy call'd the <i>Brothers</i> (an elaborate puff). In it Booth forgives Young for withdrawing the play from rehearsal thirty years earlier, and thus precluding his playing the part of Demetrius: "And I the more readily pardon you, as you have not disgraced me by giving the part to any of my successors, till this $Garrick= appeared, whose reputation, I can assure you, is by no means confined to your world, and who, I am told, hath more than supply'd my place, hath rendered the loss even of $Betterton= himself very supportable." He then lets Young in on a secret that there will be a performance of his play in the shades by all the old actors as soon as <i>Curll</i>r can steal a copy of it for them.] We are assured that on Thursday the 22nd instant will be publish'd a Comedy in 2 acts, call'd <i>The Rehearsal</i>; or, Bayes in Petticoats, witten by $Mrs Clive=, and to be performed that evening, after the <i>Mourning Bride</i>, for her Benefit at <i>Drury Lane</i>. $Mr Yates='s Benefit will be on Thursday the 5th of April, when the tragedy of the <i>Gamester</i> will be played, being the twelfth day. A new farce will be added to it, the preparing of which has oblig'd Yates to defer his Benefit till the above day. Receipts: #150 ($Cross=).
