-480- close to nudging Eddie Cantor’s record gross of $50,000 for this stall. As stage show go it hasn’t really got much, but the Miller band packs a staggering punch with the customers and as Miller is what they want to hear that’s what they get. The band does four tunes winding up with the inevitable Chattanooga Choo Choo and spots Marion Hutton, Tex Beneke, Skip Nelson and the Modernaires in solos and in combinations. Al Bernie gives radio imitations and satires. The whole show lasts something under 45 minutes but none of the customers complained. On the contrary they shouted themselves silly.” (Variety, Sept. 16, 1942) According to GMPR the band did a total of 37 shows. Glenn Miller stayed at the Hotel Statler while in Boston.
