The arrangements for the performance of HENRY THE FIFTH
are of so complicated and extensive a nature that, once with-
drawn, it will be out of the power of the Management to re-
produce it. The Management trusts it may not be deemed
intrusive in impressing this notice on the public attention,
and earnestly soliciting the attendance of those who have not
yet witnessed the performance, for, in doing so, the request
arises from a strong desire that no portion of the Theatrical
Public should lose the opportunity of seeing the mis en scene
of a Shaksperian Play which was never excelled, if equalled,
in any English Theatre. Every evening until further notice,
in a style of magnificent completeness never before attempted
in Liverpool, Shakspeare's Historical Play of HENRY THE
FIFTH. The character of Henry the Fifth by Mr. G.
VANDENHOFF, whose valuable assistance has been
secured expressly for its Representation. The Original Text
of Shakspeare will he carefully adhered to, the Play being
produced from a Private Copy marked by W. C. Macready,
Esq , for the Theatre Royal, Covent-garden. when, under
his management, the Play was acted at that Establishment,
and which has been most kindly lent for the express purpose
of its production in this Theatre. To give increased effect
to the New Scenery, the whole of which has been designed
and painted by Mr. Dearlove, ,jun., the already spacious
Stage has- been considerably enlarged, and New Machinery
added by Mr. B. Jones. The new and splendid Costumes
by Mr. Jeffreys are taken from the Illuminated MSS. and
other Authorities of the period. The real Armour has been
chiefly supplied from Paris and London ; andthe Manage-
ment has to express its obligations to-Benjamin Webster,
Esq., and John Knowles. Esq., for" the Loan of several
-complete Suits of the peculiar Armour worn at the period.
"The Surcoats, with their Fterildic Bearings, have all been
made from Historical Illustrations of unquestionable accu-
racy. The Banners a Shields are taken from the same
source, and, with of r valuable accessories, have been made
by and under the rection of Mr. Bromley. The Stage busi-
ness and TablesetX are arranged by Mr. F. L. Villiers, and the
whole is produced under the personal superintendence
of Mr. W. R. Copeland. The Music selected and arranged
