“The Wallackian season, which was so auspiciously inaugurated at Wallack’s theatre [sic] on Wendesday evening last, promises to be one of the most brilliant in the annals of the stage of that popular theatre. Every piece that will be produced during the present season at this establishment will, as heretofore, be mounted in the best possible style and careful and discerning judgment will at the same time be bestowed upon the cast. For the present no change will be made in the programme at this house, and therefore ‘Simon Bernard’ and ‘Dearer Than Life’ will continue for another week, to amuse and instruct large and fashionable auidences.”
“Wallack’s Theatre has not done very well with its new plays ‘Dearer than Life,’ and ‘Simon Bernard,’ and in consequence they will be withdrawn at an early day to make room for plays with which the public are already familiar. Mr. Wallack cannot expect people to patronize his theatre unless he gives them plays possessing some interest.”
