Event Comment: Benefit for Mrs Cibber. Afterpiece: A Dramatic piece of one act taken from the French. Never perform'd before. The characters in it to be newdress'd. Pit and boxes laid together and amphitheatre on stage. Tickets deliver'd for 3 March will be taken. [See, 20 March. The note in Have at you all; or, The Drury Lane Journal (19 March) seems to comment on this performance: Those heroic full-bottomed perukes, whose bushy expanse is spread over the whole back of the wearer, have lately been exploded on the stage, and a more natural, I mean a less enormous covering for the head substituted in its stead. Unfortunately Mr Barry this night chose to appear in one of the most curiously frizzled out and of the fullest tragical flow I ever saw: When in the last act it was our heroes turn to be kill'd, honest Ryan being eager to dispatch him, just as he was to plump down upon the carpet, entangled his hand in the vast profusion of Macbeth's hair; and by jerking back his sword after the concluding stab, away came poor periwig along with it, while our hero was left expos'd, in the last agonies of death-bare headed. Ryan in the meanwhile with some confuconfusion contemplated Full-Bottom, which he held dangling in his hand, but sadly tumbled out of curl; at length he good naturedly adjusted it on the bald pate of the tyrant, who was then enabled to make his dying speech with proper regularity and decorum."

Event Comment: Benefit for Mrs Cibber. No part of the Pit will be rail'd into the Boxes; but for the better accommodation of the Ladies, the Stage will be enclos'd in form of an Amphitheatre, where servants will be allowed to keep places. Ladies desired to send servants by 3 o'clock. Afterpiece: By Particular Desire. A letter from Paris informs us of a very singular entertainment exhibited at the Fair of St Germains, consisting of a Concert of Music executed by a band of Animal musicians. A number of Cats, clothed uniformly, were placed on stools, with music books before them, and a Monkey in the middle who beat time. On a signal given by the Monkey, the cast set up a mewing, and were accompanied by some violins; which form'd a very diverting dissonance. The whole Fair flock'd to it; and some of the gravest people of Paris could not forbear laughing heartily
