Thda event will take place in the auditorium of the High Sehool on Wed-smith family to which he belongs. Those who have heard Dr. Gros-srnlth perform on the piano agree that his abilities are outstanding, but that his piano playing only tells part of the story, as he has a special flair for comedy and carries on the traditions of the famous Gros-smith family to which he beings. Those who are old enough will recall in the Old Country the great Gecjrga Grossnxith, Sr., who was an uncle of the Doctor, and who was the creator of the comedy roles in the Gilbert & Sullivan operas, and who. in later years, excelled in his piano-comedy recitals throughout the world. HLs brother, Weedon, was also well known.for his whimsical humour in farcical comedy, while his son, George, Jr., starred n many a musical comedy at the London Gaiety Theatre in the early )art of this century. Another son. Laurence, was also well known in nusical comedy, later being in Hol-ywood. m fact the name "Gros-smith" was in England on a par with that of �>B:irrymore" in the United States, and might be said o be historic in the theatrical world of Great Britain. Madame Grossmith, whose home was in Paris, has that Parlsienne charm which makes her appearance a highlight of the programme, and it is hoped that the citizens of Prince George will respond generously to this memorable event, which will be outstanding in the annals of entertainment. International service was stressed by Prank J. Doherty of Victoria, District Governor of Rotary District No. 101,. when he addressed members of the local Rotary Club at a banquet in the Prince George Hotel Tuesday evening.
