LIVER THEATRE, CHURCH-STREET.

ONE WEEK

MORI

-BY PARTICULAR DESIRE

Extraordinary, Wonderful, and truly talented Performances
The Public, though Deceived, much Gratified.

THIS present TUESDAY EVENIN9I, May 11, a great
variety of Entertainments, and every Evening during
the Week, a great change of Performance.
MR, JACOBS,
THE ROYAL VENTRILOQUIST AND MAGICIAN,

FROM THE STRAND THEATRE

Will. at the request of several highly respectable Families,
prolong his stay ONE WEEK MORE. The quality of the
Entertainments being now generally known, great desire is
expressed to witness the Feats, incomprehensible as they
are, performed by the Magician. His Ventriloquism is of
so superior an order, that the ears become completely the
fools of the other senses. His Imitations of 12 Persons are
truly astonishing, and to miss seeing this gifted Artist would
be missing a treat indeed. Since the days of Mons. Alex-
andre there has been nothing equal to him in this country.
Visit the Liver, and judge for yourselves. Tb,e Perform-
ance closes on SATURDA.Y next, May 15th. The limits of
an Advertisement preclude a more lengthy description.
There is but one opinion of the Feats produced, and that is,
wonderful—most wonderful. Everybody should see him.

Doors open at Seven, commences at'Half-past. Boxes,
