The Smile Show became a summer tradition in Victoria as one of the longest running shows in Canadian history. Later, it was enhanced when Jerry teamed with Bebe Eversfield, who added a polished dance and musical theatre expertise. The show focused on Victoria being “more British then the British.” It entertained the local and tourist audiences with production numbers, skits, soloists, and British song favourites. Celebrities including Sebastian Cabot, Burt Reynolds, and Fay Wray attended, sometimes venturing upon the stage. Source B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame.
