"Havo You Soon Smith?"
A new acquaintance and what
seems to be a universal favorite
wherever it haB been seen is "Have
You Seen Smith." It is a merrv
melange of satire and nonsense of
the day, a comedy ot tlic tunes
tuned" everyday brisk, colorful,
tuneful and refined. While no
claim is made to the possession of
a pretentious story or intricate
plot, it provides a very satisfactory
vehicle tor the exhibition of the
diverse talents of a wondrously
versatile company. lun pure and
simple is the sole object of the
farce, and all of it is of that spark
ling, cifcrvosccnt sort that catches
the popular fancy. It is one of the
very lew farces tliat deals with
humorous incidents of the present
day and introduces cnararters with
winch one constantly comes in con
tact, incidental to tlic amusing
comeoy situations and tableaux is
introduced a perfect avalanche of
.songs, dances, marcucs and grace
tul and grotesque cavortings of
every description. All the recent
novelties in the line ot music nnr
mirth are seen in ,4Have You Seen
Smith" and to predict a rousing en
gagement here seems superfluos.
