For the Fourth of July 1910, people on the grand stage of the band stand read the round-by-round progress of the historic Jeffries-Johnson fight over a special wire run to the park for the event. Vaudeville and moving pictures were also shown that week.[5]
Free motion picture shows were shown at the band shell each evening in 1913.[6]
Manager Joe Cleary gave reports received by wire of the Willard-Dempsey fight to the park crowd from the bandstand in June 1919.[7]
