“Wallack’s Theatre is subsisting more upon the reputation of the past than the present. Who will ever replace the lady-like Mrs. Hoey, the quaint Mary Gannon, or the ‘last man,’ W. Rufus Blake?—the first now living in retirement, the others resting from their labors in the slient [sic] tomb. We fear [illeg.] attack’s [sic] will never again occupy the position it once held in the dramatic world.”
