Mr. Simes' Benefit, single work advertisement

An advertisement for a performance at the Royal Victoria Theatre, Sydney, to include 'Shakespeare's ... Cymbeline' and 'Coleman's ... Blue Beard'. The number of acts for Cymbeline is printed differently in the advertisement in the Commercial Journal of 8 and 11 August 1838 (5 acts) to the number printed in the advertisement in the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser of 9 and 11 August 1838 (2 acts).

The performance on 13 August was a benefit for Thomas Simes. The plays for the performance on 14 August are advertised as 'repeated'. However, the 14 August performance was probably not a benefit.
