LAST FOUR NIGHTS OF HENRYTHE FIFTH.

The arrangements for this Historical Play are of so com-
plicated and extensive a nature that, once withdrawn,

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 sane
Of a Shaksperian Play which was never excelled, if equalled,
in any English Theatre.
