Singing and comic monologue.
"I Didn't Think the Girl Would Do It" and "Things I Have Done."
Frank Smith is said to have been in the service and was most likely before that on the stage. He has a singing monolog of the nutty characterization, but with no wildness of action during it. Mr. Smith's nuttiness consists in delivery and songs. His delivery of a partial stuttering or halting sort is quite agreeable; his talk not at all bad, and his songs for that kind of a turn extremely good. The songs were: "I Didn't Think the Girl Would Do It," and "Things I Have Dine." Of bearing and appearance, Mr. Smith looks good enough for a big-time single after some work, and until that time he is certain for other houses.
