It is said that Sir Henry Irving con templates a pioductlon of "Madame Sans Gene," with Hllen Tony In the title lole nnd himself as Napoleon. It would ioein that Mr. Irving, though ho might act the part, would be about six inches too tnll to look it. It Is also dlillcult to Imagine how Miss Terry could look like a wash-woman. When the Into Lester AVallack died, In September, ISSS, ho left three sons nnd a daughter, not one of w horn over went upon the stage; and only one, Aithur, ever had any tiling to do with a theater in any capacity. It was sup posed bv many, when tho nnmo of AVaimck's theater was changed to Palmer's, that tho name of Wallack had disappeared forever fiom the the atilcal business. Now, however, a giandson and ginnddaughter have Joined Mnignret Mather's company. The gentleman's name Is John Lester AVallack, and tho lady's stage name Is Florence AVallack, Her leal name is Sewell, she being the daughter of Les ter Wallack's only duughter. The por tialts of Mr. AVallack do not show him to be ns handsome as was his giand father, who for many yeais was con sidered tho Uandsonlest man of his day.
