Since our last notice of Mr. j. W. Wallack, he has appeared in the character of Macbeth ; but we are still in doubt as to his future career. Let us not be misunderstood—we have not the slightest doubt that he will have a permanent position on the stage as a serviceable actor ; his physical advantages and his manifest carefulness are sufficient guarantees to that extent : but will he in any degree fill the gap which Mr. Mac- ready has left by his retirement, and become a tragedian high enough to form a central point of attraction in a large metropolis ? At present we see force, and sedulous anxiety to do well; but we have not as yet seen a character bearing the mark of strong original conception, and fixing it- self on the mind as something clearly distinguished from all other repre- sentations.
