Dexter Smith describes the new Colonial in Boston built by Ames estate sponsors as a monument of beauty and taste with satin wood and marble pillars. Critics compare it to Vienna’s Stadt Theatre, praising architecure, lack of metalwork glare, and seating visibility. Managers Rich Harris and Charles Frohman bring Ben Hur and varied entertainments. Boston hails the palace as a cultural gateway and future drama hub.
