Brief. “Mr. Lester Wallack will shortly produce, and play in his own comic drama of ‘Central Park.’”

“...The drama has been well put upon the stage, and the scenery is very elaborate; but the frequenters of Wallack’s object very much to the long and tedious waits between the acts. These waits are, however, considerably relieved by the excellent music furnished by Mr. Baker and his well-trained orchestra.”
