Comments:
On Account of the Numerous Complaints which have been made by the Frequenters of the Theatre, of the Interruption given to the Performances by the Persons insisting on having the Doors of the Boxes or the Pit opened after the House is apparently filled, and also to prevent many other Inconveniences to the Audience, the Public are requested to observe that No Money received can be returned at any of the Offices. [Throughout the season the playbills carry the notice: "No money to be returned."] Hamlet [advertised in Public Advertiser, 15 Sept.] is obliged to be deferred on Account of the Indisposition of Kemble. Receipts: #109 18s. 6d. (71.17.0; 37.3.6; 0.18.0)
