Event Comment: At
Yates's Booth in the
George Inn,
Smithfield. A new, pleasant and Diverting Droll...interspers'd with several Scenes both Satyrical and Comical, particularly the surprizing
Metamorphosis of Jupiter and Mercury; the very remarkable
Tryal before Judge Puzzlecause, with many learned arguments on both sides to prove that One can't be Two. Likewise the Humourous Adventures and whimsical Perplexities of
Gormandize Simple, the Hungarian Footman; with the wonderful Conversations he had with and the dreadful Drubbings he received from his own Apparition; together with the Intrigues of
Dorothy Squeezepurse, the wanton Chambermaid. Concluding with the Distresses of the Jealous Husband or the Innocent Adultress.
Yates from Theatre Royal in
Drury Lane. Clothes, scenes, machines, flyings, Transparencies and all other Decorations entirely new
