The New York architectural firm J. B. McElfatrick & Son designed the Tremont Theatre, which opened in 1889 and was located at 179 Tremont Street in Boston, Massachusetts. In April of 1907, Marc Klaw and Abraham Erlanger and the Shubert Brothers, New York theatrical impresarios, formed a new vaudeville circuit called the United States Amusement Company, also known as Advanced Vaudeville. The partners disbanded Advanced Vaudeville in February 1908. At the time, Klaw & Erlanger owned the Tremont Theatre. In 1947, the Tremont Theatre was remodeled and renamed the Astor Theatre. After a fire in 1983, the building was demolished.
