William Flemen and Co.

The late Victor H. Smalley's "Back to Boston" is a new slang sketch threaded with mistaken identities. Flemen plays the prize fighter who gets into the wrong house. He thinks the master is the one who has sent for him to train him. He mistakes a woman of quality for one of the domestics. She and her father welcome him as a prospective member of the family, believing her "affinity" was on the way. The "pug" falls for the girl and she leads him on. The father encourages him. A kiss lands right, but an explanation of their respective stations clouts him below the belt. He rallies from the knockout Cupid has scored, puts the clamps to his lid and exits with a lump in his throat, managing, however, to sputter out a slangy farewell.
The gist of the story hangs well and the ending is as it should be although there is no doubt that the audience would like to see the slangy, broad shouldered pugilist (Flemen) and the girl in the piece do a quick getaway to the alter. Flemen looks the part of the fighter and handles the slang only as he could speak it. The supporting company does acceptable work.
