„Twenty and four shows a night“

Editorial content. „Fred Karno, Laugh-Maker

      One of Fred Karno‘s companies of English comedians

is in Winnipeg this week. The same company has

been here before, and the fact that they drew record houses

shows that Winnipeggers appreciate English humor –

something that isn‘t obtainable very often on the Canadian

stage. But Fred Karno himself is unknown to

Winnipeggers. For this reason The Tribune publishes for

the first time in Western Canada a likeness of the

man whose companies are amusing millions of people

annually all over the world.

      At the same time an interview obtained by a London, Eng., correspondent will not be amiss. The interview follows:

      ,My very first real sketch,‘ said Mr. Karno, ,was one called

Hilarity, in which only five or six people were engaged,

and in which I played myself. I very rarely play now. It is enough

to write and supevise, and to run round and see that

everything is going smoothly, with a company of twenty and

four shows a night.“ (...)
