"To be accounted as funny is about the most serious business in the world", said Mr. Fred Stone, famous comedian now starring in "Stepping Stones" at the Colonial Theatre at a luncheon in his honor at the Union yesterday, which 200 people attended.
"When I was still a young boy I was bitten by the stage bug", Mr. Stone admitted, "and I started my career in my father's barn on our ranch in Colorado arrayed in a red flannel shirt and red woolen under-drawers."
He declared that he was very proud of his profession and the progress that it had made because actors had risen by their own efforts from travelling mountebanks to members of a recognized profession. He attributed a good deal of this success to the efforts of Keith in popularizing good, clean, wholesome amusement.
After his speech Mr. Stone sang several songs, starting with a Chinese lullaby and ending with a humorous ditty on the "gentle game of football."
