The proprietors of the new Theatre Royal Covent Gatalewbei
aye aaain nest respectfully to address themselves to the Public,
11- .1 (re jot!. merit they are sensible they ot;ht in every thing,
a -
within ;kw power, to be guided. 'They presume to think that
die present regulation of the prices of admission will, on disc con-
sideration, be fouird to be supported by every argument of reason
zajotice, and are happy to see that It meets with the approval
la a tiny 121 ge majcrity of the community. The Proprietors are
Int air.. rg at'wealth and exorbitant gain: they are merely la-
saraig for a lair subsistence. It has been authoritatively and
saiaactorily proved, after the fullest and most impartial loves-
kation, that the adoption of the former prices would subject
them to a certain loss of three quarters per cent. per annum on
t!;tir capital: but some persons have said that this evil toight be
Ovired by a system of stricter economy. If the Proprietors, in
t to eiettion of the new Theatre, have erred on the side of ex-
I't T -e• it has been, first, from an honest desire to consult the ac-
o,rnn odation, and ensure the safety of all who resort to it; and
worldly (as the public bad a right to expect they should), to col-
lect such performers, and display such scenery, dresses, decora-
tio--. &a as might best contribute to render the exhibitions of
the t'.tan:a worthy of a critical and enlightened people. Under
se:ai Leah can a severer economy be introduced ?. The actors I
end actresses cannot be expected to give their labours for a smaller
tompeasation than they received hi the old Theatre, or than they
can receive in Theatres out of I.oudon,—and the Propt ietors have
to:hitherto been able to undertake to Abell them a greater nor
(Ice:idle prospect of such an advance form an Item ot their .calcu-
irad future expenditure.
In the Scenery, Dresses, Decorations, Lighting, kc. of which
every article is daily increasing in price, all reduction•Ot espence
is evidently impracticable. The undisguised truth is, that, even
at the prestrt prices, the necessity tha Proprietors are under ot
iTov:arat tvay thing new for almost every r.:presentation will,
with nc closest economy, for some years materially reduce, if
gut te!.111, absorb, their profits.
The Paiprietors hope they shall not be thought intrusive for
min appealing to the reason and justice of the frequenters of the
'nitwit, to save all who are concerned iu it from utter ruin.
they trust that they shall not be disappointed in their confident
oliance on this occasion, on the liberality, wisdom and justice
of a yrest and generous nation ; and they are persuaded that, as
volintirately it is not at their choice to alter the present terms
.1. sdtsiata, which are as moderate as they could make them,
the). siall be allowed by their uninterrupted exertions to endta-
Liar as the °lily rettint they can offer for the patronage and M-
ar.:: they request, while they have the honour of evincing, by
er.coralig efforts, their unabated zeal fur the improvement ot
12a ananienients of the Pubic.
