_King Street Theatre._--Among a large collection of medallic tickets of
admission to theatres, I am unable to fix the precise attribution of the
following:
Ob.: A group of dramatic emblems, mask, sword, mirror, scourge, and a
legend:
"Spectas et tu spectabere. King Street Theatre."
Rev.:
"Admit Mr. Cooper, or bearer, to any part of the house before the
curtain."
The ticket is of silver, and is evidently of the time of Garrick; it
cannot therefore apply to the theatre in King Street, St. James's, which
is of recent erection; nor am I aware of any other King Street in London
which contained a theatre. Its situation will most probably be found in
some provincial town.
If any of your obliging correspondents could furnish information as to
its locality, they would confer a favour on the writer.
