Goody's v.2 Notes (2025-09-10):  
--Upon revisiting this show, it was discovered that the speed had a small previously unaccounted for gradual speed-up from a slow start which was a bit more than had been taken into account the first time this show had been adjusted in order to correct what was thought to be a more steady rate of playback.  
--This has been revisited more precisely here. 
--The audio was also improved by adjustments to the azimuth and phase in this new update.
--My thanks to Steve Hopkins for this fine historic archive!
--This edition - September 10, 2025

--this building was built in 1852 & was originally known as the "Boston Music Hall" (1852-1900);  it was converted for use as a vaudeville theater in 1900 & operated under a number of different names during this time, including the "Music Hall" & the "Empire Theatre" (1900-1906);  it was renamed the "Orpheum Theatre" in 1906 (1906 thru 1971-01-31)...in 1915, the theater was acquired by Loew's Theatres, who reopened the Orpheum in 1916 with a completely new interior design & operated it at first as a combination vaudeville & movie theater & later as a straight first-run movie house...it closed its doors on 1971-01-31;  it then underwent a $125,000 refurbishment & reopened on 1971-05-27 as the "Aquarius Theatre" (aka "Aquarius") (1971-05-27 thru January 1974), a live concert hall;  it reverted back officially/unofficially to the "Orpheum Theatre" sometime in 1972 (1972-present [2026]), though some shows during that time (thru January 1974) were still advertised as the "Aquarius Theatre" by the promoter, or sometimes the "Orpheum-Aquarius Theatre"...also known as "Orpheum-Aquarius Theatre";  "Orphium Theater";  "The Orpheum";  "Orpheum Theater"
