“Mr. J. G. Hanley, the very competent, faithful, and hard-working stage-manager of Wallack’s Theater, has, we are pained to learn, suffered a great deal of late from sickness. Mr. Hanley goes to Booth’s Theater, by and by, we believe, when he will be succeeded, at Wallack’s Theater, by Mr. James Schönberg.”
