_Jack-P_. This is to give notice to all gentlemen, ladies, and others, that at the Theatre Royal in Drury-lane, this evening, will be performed the whole puppet-show called the Pleasures of the Town; in which will be shewn the whole court of nonsense, with abundance of singing, dancing, and several other entertainments: also the comical and diverting humours of Some-body and No-body; Punch and his wife Joan to be performed by figures, some of them six foot high. God save the King. [_Drum beats_. SCENE VIII.--WITMORE _with a paper, meeting_ LUCKLESS. _Wit_. Oh!

One of thy play-bills! _Luck_. Even so--I have taken the advice you gave me this morning. _Wit_. Explain. |
