Gaiety Theatre (Boston, 1908)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gaiety Theatre (1908–1949) or Gayety Theatre of Boston, Massachusetts, was located at no.661 Washington Street near Boylston Street in today's Boston Theater District.[2] The theatre was designed by architect Clarence H. Blackall. The Lyceum Theatre was demolished in June 1908 to make way for the Gaiety Theatre which was built on the same site.[1]
The Gaiety Theatre featured burlesque, vaudeville and cinema. Performers included Clark and McCullough, Solly Ward, and Lena Daley; producers included Charles H. Waldron, Earl Carroll, and E.M. Loew.[3] In 1949 it became the "Publix Theatre."[4] The building existed until its razing in 2005.[4][5][6]
