Between daubs of mascara in Boston's notorious showplace, the strip queen affirmed her loathing for the audience of the Manhattan metropolis. Blinded by over-concentrated spots, burlesques suffer from the unhealthy expectancy of the crowd there whose only thought is "how many and how soon" clothes will be discarded...
