In the summer time, when the quality was dispersed at the various Spas, the dramatic company followed them to their fashionable resorts, as also did Powell and Clinch. This, at all events, was the case in the early days of Anne's rule. 'Her Majesty's Servants of the Theatre Royal being return'd from the Bath, do intend, to morrow being _Wednesday_ the Sixth of this instant _October_ to act a Comedy call'd _Love makes a Man, or, the Fop's Fortune_.[419] With Singing and Dancing. And whereas the Audiences have been incommoded by the Plays usually beginning too late, the Company of the said Theatre do therefore give Notice that they will constantly begin at Five a Clock without fail, and continue the same Hour all the Winter.'[420] [Footnote 419: By Colley Cibber.] [Footnote 420: _Daily Courant_, Oct. 5, 1703.] Later in this reign they stopped in London, but did not play every day. 'Not Acted these 15 years. By Her Majesty's Company of Comedians. At the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane, on Tuesday next, being the 1st of July, will be Reviv'd the 2nd Part of the Destruction of Jerusalem,[421] by Titus Vespasian. The Parts of Titus by Mr. Booth, Phraartes Mr. Mills, Tiberius Mr. Keen. John, Mr. Powell. Berenice Mrs. Rogers, Clarona Mrs. Bradshaw. N.B. The Company will continue to Act on every Tuesday and Friday during the Summer Season. By Her Majesty's Command[422] no Persons are to be admitted behind the Scenes.'[423] At one time, as Cibber narrates, it was even closed altogether. [Footnote 421: By J. Crowne, 1677.] [Footnote 422: See p. 255.] [Footnote 423: _Daily Courant_, June 28, 1712.] The theatre was used occasionally for other than dramatic performances. Here is one: 'At the Theatre Royal in _Drury Lane_, this present _Tuesday_ being the 14th of _December_ will be perform'd, _The Subscription Musick_. Wherein Mrs. _Tofts_ Sings several Songs in Italian and English. With a new piece of Vocal and Instrumental Musick never perform'd before, composed by Mr. _Leveridge_. And several new Entries and Entertainments of Dancing by Monsieur _l'Abbé_, Monsieur _Du Ruell_, Monsieur _Charrier_, Mrs. _Campion_, Mrs. _Elford_, the _Devonshire_ Girl, and others. No Person to be admitted into the Pit or Boxes but by the Subscribers Tickets, which are deliver'd at Mr. _White's_ Chocolate house. The Boxes on the Stage and the Galleries are for the Benefit of the Actors. The Stage Boxes 7_s._ 6_d._ the first Gallery 2_s._ 6_d._ the Upper Gallery 1_s._ 6_d._ To begin about Five a Clock. No Person to stand on the Stage.'[424] [Footnote 424: _Ibid._, Dec. 14, 1703.] That the ordinary prices, which they never advertised, were much lower than these, is shown by an advertisement in the following year. 'And by reason of the extraordinary Charge in the Decoration of it, the Prices will be rais'd. Boxes 5_s._ Pit 3_s._ First Gallery 2_s._ Upper Gallery 1_s._'
