Boston Theatre 
Boston has capitulated to Wagen- 
hals & Kemper’s production ‘‘The 
Greyhound’’ the great modern drama 
of life on an ocean liner. Every 
newspaper in Boston welcomed the 
play of thrills and laughs and gave 
it the highest praise. 
The Transcript over the signature 
of its distinguished critic Mr. Par- 
ker, says, ‘‘ ‘The Greyhound’ reaches 
into the higher realms of melodrama 
and is portrayed by modernized act- 
ing which is right up-to-the-minute.’’ 
The Herald says: ‘‘It is up-to-date 
drama, full of exciting incidents and 
played with great spirit.’’ The Post 
asserts that ‘‘The illusion of a gigan- 
tic ocean greyhound has been marvel- 
ously achieved,’’ while the Globe an- 
nounces: that ‘‘The Greyhound’’ is 
an absorbing melodrama which was 
witnessed by a large audience and 
received with much enthusiasm. The 
Journal says: ‘‘No wonder ‘The 
Greyhound’ played New York to 
capacity audiences for six full 
months.’’ It is its dissimilarity to 
other plays that is so appealing. It 
carries a strong story of love, intri- 
gue and moving incident through an 
ocean voyage and in four or five dif- 
ferent localities aboard the ship. The 
play is in four acts and each one of 
them affords opportunities for elab- 
orate and unconventional stage set- 
tings. There are fifty people in the 
cast.
