B. 0.).—’‘An Amorlcah Acb’ absolute sur- prise of the season In local vaudeville. Tues- day morning tho town was talking about It and a sell-out for the remainder of tho week was assured. The act Is running smoothly despite the heavy scenic Invcetlturo and tho numerous sets. Nearly all the other heavy war acta that have hit Boston have not hit just right for varioits reasons, which made “■An American Ace’-’ seem all tho better In comparison.
