Bob OFT Coming to the Opera House
Next Week for a Weeks Engage

Bob OFT comes to the Opera House
next Monday and he has some very
decided ideas of the mission of the
actor or the actress outside of their
own sphere on the stage. He starts
out with the promise that "the actor
is one of the strongest forces in our
present day conditions, because, con-
sciously or unconsciously, he is con-
stantly initiated by the public.
Il believe that the man who is in
fluentiai in shaping public thought
and feeling by the sincerity with
which he portrays types on the stage
is every bit as socially efficient as
the man who provides US with food
and clothing. ] feel that it is my
mission in life to make people laugh.
and if I can fulfill my ambition Of
making the jaws of hundreds of
thousands of tired, blase, saddencd,
overworked. or joy-hungry men and
women ache with laughter then |
maintain I've a right to go down on
the same books with those chaps
who are always getting lauded in the
papers and churches and schools and
lecture halls as being socially eff
Gent blessings to humanity the
backbone Of the nation"
This season Bob has some corkers
in store for US. Everything is brand
new. All new numbers, new ensem-
bles. new dances new costumes, new
song hits. and last but not the least,
One Of the best singing, and the
youngest dancing choruses in the
world.
