Event Comment: Benefit
Dr Clancy. "
The Day returns, but not to me returns,"
Milton. This Gentleman being deprived of
the Advantages of following his profession; and as
the writing he had produced for
the stage could not be brought out this season,
the Master of
the Playhouse has been so kind as to favour him with a Benefit Night: It is
therefore hoped, that as this will be
the first instance of any person laboring under so heavy a deprivation, performing on
the stage,
the Novelty, as well as
the Unhappyness of his case, will engage
the favour and protection of a
British Audience. Note: Tickets to be had at
the Temple-Exchange Coffee House in
Fleet Street;
Tom's Coffee House in
Cornhill;
St. James Coffee House,
St. James's Street;
Child's Coffee House,
St. Paul's Churchyard and
the Chapter Coffee House in
Paternoster Row. Places for Boxes to be Taken at
the Stage Door of
the Theatre. [
General Advertiser, 4 April, publish'd a fifty-six
Prologue (licensed) Intended for
Oedipus, acted for
the Benefit of
