Shuter advertised his benefit early, then on 28 March inserted this puff in the <i>Public Advertiser</i>: [$Mrs Centlivre='s Comedies have a vein of pleasantry in them that will always be relish'd. She knew the Genius of this nation, and she wrote up to the spirit of it; her <i>Bold Stroke for a Wife</i>, was a masterpiece that much increased her reputation: it establish'd that of $Kit Bullock=, a smart sprightly actor. His performance of <i>Col. Feignwell</i>r was greatly applauded. Shuter has judiciously chosen to play to at his own benefit, and everyone that knows his powers, knows he will play it at least with drollery and justice equal to him."]
