Afterpiece: A New Farce. [By Mrs Charke.] N.B. The Company are oblig'd to remove from the Hay-Market Theatre to York-Buildings, as being too young a Sett of People to venture at great Expences, without first having merited the Favour of the Town to support them in it; but as we are determin'd to the full Extent of our Power, to endeavour to entertain them, we humbly hope they will accept of our Performances. . . . Charlott Charke. Daily Advertiser, 26 Sept.: We hear that Mrs Charke . . . drew Tears from the whole Audience in her Prologue, which she spoke very pathetically; and the new Farce . . . was very much applauded, notwithstanding the impotent Attempts of several young Clerks to raise a Riot, who were for that purpose properly marshal I'd by the cunning Lawyer their Master: Their rude Behaviour was so extraordinary, that several Gentlemen were provok'd to threaten them with the Discipline of their Canes, upon which they thought proper to desist
