The Play of The Two Gentlemen of Verona, again produced as great an effect on a brilliant and overflowing audience as any previous revival of SHAKESPEARE—The introduction of his SONNETS and the MUSICK, were enthusiastically received—and the CARNIVAL was not only deemed a most magnificent Spectacle, but a classical Embellishment of a Play of our Immortal Bard's—The Two Gentlemen of Verona will therefore be performed Tomorrow, Thursday, and Saturday, and four times a week till further notice. The New Entertainment, called The Two Pages of Frederick the Great, having been received throughout with the highest approbation and applause, will be repeated every evening. Tomorrow, Shakspeare's Play of The TWO GENTLEMEN of VERONA. With the New Farce. On Thursday, the Play of The TWO GENTLEMEN of VERONA. With the New Farce.
