Event Comment: Benefit
LaLauze. By Command of
their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess of Wales. Tickets to be had and places to be taken of
Page at
the Stage Door. None to be admitted without printed tickets, which will also be deliver'd at
the Office, and at LaLauze's lodgings, at
the Widow Gwinn's, a Silk Dyer in
Drury Lane, near
the Castle Tavern. Servants will be allowed to keep places on
the stage, which (for
the better accommodation of
the ladies) will be enclos'd and formed into an amphi
theatre. N.B. As I had
the Misfortune to break
the great tendon of my leg, when dancing on
the stage at
the above
theatre in January last, I think it highly incumbent on me to acquaint
the public in general and my good friends in particular, that I am in a fair (but not speedy) way of recovery; and as
Mr Rich has kindly granted me a benefit sooner than usual, towards supporting me in my unlucky situation, I take this opportunity to interest
the good-natured town to dispense with my personal application, and favour me with
their company as usual, which will add to
the many obligations I have already received, and shall be ever acknowledged with a sincere sense of gratitude, by
their most humble and obedient servant, LaLauze
