Co, Worcester Theatre date strip on bottom, strong colors, ht. 30, wd. 20. Wallack's Theatre formally came on the scene in 1852 when James William Wallack (1891-1864), known as "the elder Wallack," took John Brougham's two year old theatre on the corner of Broome Street and Broadway, lavishly redecorated and refurbished it, and christened it Wallack's Lyceum. From that time until 1887, a Wallack's Theatre was a prominent fixture in New York. In fact, the Wallack name had long been associated with the theatre in America and England. The Elder Wallack's parents had been associated with Astley's Amphitheatre in London playing leading roles."
