Event Comment: By a Set of English Performers translated into French from The Beggar's Opera. Nothing under the full Price will be taken during the Time of the whole Performance, or any money returned after the Curtain is drawn up. To begin at six o'clock. Prices: 5s., 3s., 2s. As this is the first attempt of the kind that was ever made by the English, 'tis hoped the Town will not be offended, that we endeavour to equal the Foreigners in everything, that may conduce to divert or to please them; yet this apology we beg leave to make, that if in our Performance a little of our Native Accent should be discover'd, we humbly hope an English audience will excuse it
