[By Mary de la Riviere Manley.] Never Acted before. And by Reason of the Extraordinary Charge for Habits, Boxes 5s., Pit 3s., First Gallery 2s., Upper Gallery 1s. Preface: Almyna was admirably Acted, and advantagiously dress'd: The first was owing to Mr Betterton's unwearied care...the second to Mr Swiny...for venturing...to make so great an Expence...both justly condemn'd for playing it at so ill-fated a Time, viz. The immediate Week before Christmas between Devotion and Camilla
