Notes

First Chinese New Year show

As per Golden Road account of events, the Dragon Dance occurred during Drums on both the 19th and 20th. A bit of history on Lion and Dragon dances and the GD's use of them from Gene Ching excepted from Masters of Kung Fu, October 1994, including mention of the conflict backstage between the rival martial arts troupes both hired for the event.

ref: Billboard, March 16, 1985, p. 47: sold out run

Historical

Artificial heart patient William J. Schroeder becomes the first such patient to leave hospital.
