Wallack's Theatre (New York). The famous playhouse on Broadway at 13th Street was one of three theatres that bore the Wallack name. An earlier house was built on lower Broadway in 1850, and a later one at 30th Street was erected in 1880. But for nearly twenty years Wallack's meant the revered structure at Union Square that opened in 1861 and, under the astute management of Lester Wallack, presented the finest British actors in the best English plays. Critics compared the large and comfortable playhouse favorably with the Drury Lane in London. The house was renamed the Star Theatre after Wallack's death in 1888, and it was demolished in 1901.
