20 min. f.s. That the name of Loie Fuller has the box office value in Boston has been amply demonstrated. This feature was not announced until Saturday and by noon the advance sale had begun to boom. It kept up Sunday and this morning there was a line at the box office. This afternoon the house sold out completely in every part and there is no doubt about what brought the people here. The sale for the week is heavy, the biggest we have had since Peter. Miss Fuller is presenting the same “Ballet of Light: she gave at the Metropolitan and Boston opera houses with the exception that we are using only 7 girls all of whom are dancing barefooted, a number of dances including the Fire Dance. Considerable preparation was necessary for bringing this act into vaudeville after the more ambitious production and we were unable to have a good rehearsal, but notwithstanding that the act was put on in fairly good shape this afternoon and went big. The girls wear nothing but floating robes. The barelegged part of it might be considered sensational in spots, but it is the very same performance given in the opera houses.
