_Mr Hallam_--Will delineate a young and thoughtless officer who is traduced by Mr. Allyn, and, getting drunk, loses his situation and his generals esteem. All young men whatsoever, take example from Cassio. _The ill effects of drinking would you see Be warned and fly from evil company._ _Mr Morris_--Will represent an old gentleman, the father of Desdemona, who is not cruel or covetous, but is foolish enough to dislike the noble Moor, his son-in-law, because his face is not white, forgetting that we all spring from one root. Such prejudices are very numerous and very wrong. _Fathers, beware what sense and love ye lack, 'Tis crime, not colour, makes the being black._ _Mr Quelch_--Will depict a fool who wishes to become a knave, and trusting to one, gets killed by one. Such is the friendship of rogues. Take heed! _Where fools would knaves become, how often you'll Perceive the knave not wiser than the fool._ _Mrs Morris_--Will represent a young and virtuous wife, who, being wrongfully suspected, gets smothered (in an Adjoining room) by her husband. _Reader, attend, and ere thou goest hence, Let fall a tear to hapless innocence._ _Mrs Douglass_--Will be her faithful attendant, who will hold out a good example to all servants, male and female, and to all people in subjection. _Obedience and gratitude, Are things as rare as they are good._ Various other Dialogues, too numerous to mention here, will be delivered at night, all adapted to the improvement of the mind and manners. The whole will be repeated on Wednesday and on Saturday. Tickets, six shillings each; to be had within. Commencement at 7. Conclusion at half past 10; in order that every spectator may go home at a sober hour, and reflect upon what he has seen, before he retires to rest.
