Note 43 — WALTER HAMILTON, (continued 9)
Reading edition
Alfred Bunn, the lessee of Drury Lane Theatre, was a fortune to the small wits of the day. He wrote the librettos for some operas, which were neither better nor worse than the average of such productions. Punch bitterly attacked him, but he retaliated in “A word with Punch” which effectually silenced that individual.
Bunn brought out the wonderfully successful Operatic Singer, Jenny Lind. He died in 1860.
