Rob Smith, the Rival t humorist
from Dixit land, will give one of his
Justly famous humorous entertain
ments at the Commercial club on Fri
day evening, under the auspices of
the board of managers. His t.udl
enoes form east to west join with one
accord in proclaiming their sincere
! appreciation for the unusual and al
! most phenomenal ability of this "mes
' senger of mirth."
i The following; taken from the Eve
j nlng Review of Portage la Prairie,
i Manitoba, of the Issue of November
! 8, 1907:
Bob S:i!th charms people moving-,
sympathetic, refined, the enter
tainer won all hearts.
Back to the old homestead he led
us into the bypaths and vales of the
almost forgotten days; through the
village with "An Old Sweetheart of
Mine" we promenaded with Whlt
comb Riley, and on to the station,
where "The Train Comes In" he con
tinued to lead us, stopping now and
then to romp among the bluebells and
buttercups witn "Doc Kid ol Mine,
or to exchange a happy word with
Mark Twain until we were brought to
the cotton fields and "Marse John,"
where, halting for a few moments in
the Bhade of a sweet magnolia, the
waft distinct echoes of Suwanee river
as the delightful program was con
eluded.
Every man. woman and child went
home feeling happier than when they
came. t taking with them pleasant
memories that wilt lie ton after an
i evening spent In such a delightful
! manner.
Come agnin. Bob. Hang your hat
up: you're a prince of entertainers
und we'll be "Jlad to Meet You."
