[W]e made out way to Chicago, the tinned meat city. There we gave a “Burns Anniversary” in the Auditorium Theatre―the largest theatre in the world. It holds 10,000 people, and the rent for one night on that occasion was 600 dollars (£120). We were under the auspices of the Scotch societies. Burns and Frame were in everybody’s mouth. It was the largest audience to which I ever sung. We were assisted by a hundred Scotch children in kilts, who danced the “Highland Fling.” It was a great sight to see them dancing it in their own particular way to the music of the pipes. The variety of their dress was a picture. |
