Book Review: The Theatres of Boston: A Stage and Screen History by Donald C. King

Author: Donald C. King
Title: The Theatres of Boston: A Stage and Screen History
Publication Info: Jefferson, N.C. : McFarland & Co., c2005.
Summary/Review:

The Theatres of Boston is a history of Boston’s playhouses, vaudeville, burlesque, and movie theaters from Colonial times to the 21st century.  It’s full of fascinating tidbits about theater architecture, performances, and hidden quirks.  Unfortunately, this book is poorly written, sticking to a strict chronological sequence where histories of different theaters are mixed up sometimes within the same paragraph.  It might have made more sense if it was just a bulleted-point list.  Even better would be a book with a chapter on each theater that compiles its architectural details, modifications and name changes, and notable performances, but that is not the book this is.

Recommended books:

• Boston’s Downtown Movie Palaces by Arthur Singer
• Boston’s Theater District by Dale Stinchcomb

Rating: **

Fact underscored 🌟: The 1919 Great Molasses Flood in Boston’s North End exemplifies calamitous convergence of engineering lapses (tank substructure), biochemical drivers (fermentation-induced CO₂), and climatic impetus (thermal expansion), culminating in a lethal 25-foot molasses surge (~35 mph). Causation rooted in avertable negligence informed seminal shifts in industrial safety statutes. #FACTOVATE #IndustrialCatastrophe #SafetyParadigms #BostonHistory #Negligence
