KOYAL SURREY THEATRE.

Lessee. Mrs. F. Davidge, No. 1, Davidge-terrace,BenaingtOn-road,
Surrey.
Mr. BUNN has the honour of announcing to the public at large
that, in consequ nce of the two national theatres, Drury-lane and
Covent-gar en, of which he has for many years, jointly and severally,
had h Management, having both passed into the hands of foreigners,
be has entered into an arrangement with the lessee of this theatre,
whereby he has become its sole manager, and with the view of sub-
mitting to their approbation every variety of attraction, especially
all the popular productions of his recent management, he begs leave
to submit the names of many of the eminent performers who will
have the honour of appearing before them. The artistes, whose talents
have so long contributed to the public entertainment at Drury-lane
Theatre especially), have, at the sacrifice of every consideration, con-
sideration, censented to devote their services to the furtherance of
Mr. Bunn's, and the list will altogether comprise a phalanx of names
never before attempted to be brought together in such an undertak-
ing. While the chief aim ot the direction will be devoted to the ad-
vancement of English Opera by native talent, the performances will
be interspersed with every other class of entertainment, and while it
may appear almost incredible to bring together such an array of ta-
lent, with comparatively confined means, there will be so advance of
prices, but the free-list will be altogether done away with, as it would
be an insult to make any gentleman a present of 2s. to the Boxes, Is.
to the Pit, and 6d. to the Gallery.
