A message from Entertainer David de Alba:
Carroll Wallace was a well-known theatrical act way before he began working at Finocchio's... and he played many theaters abroad.
He had many fancy costumes and also had especially made for him a few expensive human hair-laced wigs.
But what I remember most fondly about Carroll was his wonderful sense of humor and the many times we shared early breakfasts in Chinatown after we got through our fourth show at Finocchio's.
God bless you Carroll.
