2 shows, 45 min. full stage. Both Creatore and his band got quite an ovation on their entrance. He gave five numbers today interspersed with encores. From the point of the personal of the band, it is far superior to what he had on his previous visits to Boston. From the point of enthusiasm it was simply a case of our experience with Houdini repeated. Many of our patrons have no doubt sore hands from applauding the sextet from “Lucia” and when the first few bars of “The Star Spangled Banner” came forth the audience stood up in their seats as if by preconcerted action, and their enthusiasm knew no bounds. They even went so far as to cheer him and it was with difficulty that we could get him off the stage in order to go on with the rest of the show. Will close the bill with him tonight.
