[As part of a tour of the US and Canada, W.F. Frame and his company visited] Toronto, Ont.―the Scotch city of Canada. It is a real home settlement. The Caledonian Society of that town gave a Burns night in the Massey Hall, and we assisted. Three thousand countrymen of all classes, with their wives and weans, met to celebrate the Scottish bard, and hear the songs of bonnie Scotland. Can I ever forget the welcome I received there? It made me think I was at home, and not 4000 miles from it, for I was surrounded by so many of my countrymen. I was really struck by the Scotchness of the place. It is a great business centre, and we did so well that we returned to it on Good Friday, and I gave an entertainment “on my own.” The entire building was booked at half a dollar a seat before the doors were opened, which was quite unprecedented. Altogether we had a great time in Toronto. |
