Walter Alfred Slaughter (17 February 1860 – 2 March 1908) was an English conductor and composer of musical comedy, comic opera and children's shows. He was engaged in the West End as a composer and musical director from 1883 to 1904. ==Life and career== Slaughter was born in Fitzroy Square, London.〔''The Musical Herald'', 1 December 1906, p. 359〕 He attended the City of London School, and sang in the choir of St. Andrew's Church, Wells Street under Joseph Barnby.〔Obituary, ''The Musical Herald'', 1 April 1908, p. 105〕 After leaving school, he worked in a wine merchant's office and then for the music publishers Metzler.〔''The Strand Magazine'', 4 July 1892, p. 85〕 While there, he studied music under Alfred Cellier, Berthold Tours, and Georges Jacobi, the musical director of the Alhambra Theatre.〔 He was also brought into frequent contact with Arthur Sullivan, who gave him much encouragement and friendly advice.〔 Slaughter once asked Sullivan the best way to study composition; Sullivan replied, "Take off your gloves, go into the orchestra and study it there, as an engineer studies his business in the engine room."〔 Slaughter married Luna Lauri ("Mlle. Luna"), one of the two famous dancing daughters of John Lauri, ballet-master at the Alhambra Theatre. Their daughter, Marjorie Slaughter, also became a composer.〔Obituary, ''Cremona'', March 1908, p. 35〕
