In the United States, the surname Smith is particularly prevalent among those of English, Scottish, and Irish descent, but is also a common surname among African-Americans, which can be attributed either to African slaves having been given the surname of their masters, or to being an occupational name, as some southern African-Americans took this surname to reflect their or their father's trade. 2,442,977 Americans shared the surname Smith at the time of the 2010 census, and more than 500,000 people shared it in the United Kingdom as of 2006.

Smith (play)
''Smith'' is a comedy by the British writer W. Somerset Maugham, written when he was becoming a successful dramatist. The play was first seen in London in 1909. In the play, Thomas Freeman returns after years abroad to his sister Rose, and gets to know the fashionable social set who meet at her home; he eventually finds that the parlourmaid has the most merit of any in the household. History After the success of ''Lady Frederick'', his plays ''Mrs Dot'' and ''Jack Straw'' were soon staged. Maugham wrote: "Their success made the managers eager to take other plays... "; three subsequent plays "were written on commission to suit certain actors, ''Penelope'' for Marie Tempest, ''Smith'' for Miss Marie Lohr and Robert Loraine and '' The Land of Promise'' for Irene Vanbrugh.... They established me as the most popular dramatist of the day".''The Collected Plays of W. Somerset Maugham'', volume 1. Heinemann, 1961. Preface, pages xi, xiii.

Smith Sound, Newfoundland And Labrador
Smith Sound is a zigzag 24 kilometre inner region of Trinity Bay. This sound is one of the longest portions of inshore waterways in Newfoundland, located on its north-eastern coast in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Bonavista Peninsula is to the north of the sound, while Random Island is to the south. The waters that make up the sound is a continuous channel that encircles Random Island, broken only by a narrow channel located at Clarenville where a causeway was built to provide access to the communities on Random Island. The channel on the south side of Random Island is North West Arm. Early history The area was visited seasonally by fishermen in the 18th century, and first settled in the 19th century. On September 5, 1822, William Cormack sailed through Smith Sound to explore the region with Sylvester Joe, a Mi'kmaq guide.

Smith Sound
Smith Sound ( da, Smith Sund; french: Détroit de Smith) is an uninhabited Arctic sea passage between Greenland and Canada's northernmost island, Ellesmere Island. It links Baffin Bay with Kane Basin and forms part of the Nares Strait. On the Greenland side of the sound were the now abandoned settlements of Etah and Annoatok. History The first known visit to the area by Europeans was in 1616 when the ''Discovery'', captained by Robert Bylot and piloted by William Baffin, sailed into this region. The sound was originally named ''Sir Thomas Smith's Bay'' after the English diplomat Sir Thomas Smythe. By the 1750s it regularly appeared on maps as ''Sir Thomas Smith's Sound'', though no further exploration of the area would be recorded until John Ross' 1818 expedition. By this time it had begun to be known simply as ''Smith Sound''. In 1852 Edward Augustus Inglefield penetrated a little further than Baffin, establishing a new furthest north in North America.

Smith (band)
Smith was an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1969. They had a blues-based sound and scored a Top 5 hit in the United States in 1969 with a cover of the Burt Bacharach song "Baby It's You", featuring Gayle McCormick on lead vocals. This disc sold over one million copies between July and October 1969, out-charted popular versions by the Beatles and the Shirelles, and received a gold record awarded by the R.I.A.A. Beginnings The group evolved from "The Smiths" (not to be confused with later English band The Smiths), which featured two of the same members, and had attempted a hit single with "Now I Taste The Tears", produced and arranged by Ron Budnik. "Tears" was a brooding, foreboding sounding record that didn't chart well. When the band did not succeed, McCormick, who had started her career singing songs by Tina Turner, Etta James and others, was added as a front woman and lead vocalist. The group were discovered by 1960s rocker Del Shannon in a nightc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Smith (EP)
Smith EP is a four-track EP that was released by Canadian indie group Tokyo Police Club on October 23, 2007 in Canada and November 6, 2007 in the US. A download version of the Smith EP was originally available in the Spring of 2007 with only the first three songs and a different cover. Reviews Reviews of the EP were positive but disappointed by the release of an even shorter EP than A Lesson in Crime instead of a full-length LP album. Pitchfork Media gave a 6.8 rating commenting that "as the indie world collectively holds its breath for the TPC full-length, they first punch us in the gut with the Smith EP, a three-song, eight-minute release that could pass for a free iTunes preview." Chart gave a review of 5/5 but "deduct d/nowiki> one point for making everyone wait for the LP". RegnYouth remarked that the EP "makes up for lack of quantity with the quality of the songs" and "one listen and the wait for that LP will only get more frustrating".

Smith (1939 Film)
''Smith'' (1939) is a short film directed by Michael Powell to promote a charity that helped ex-servicemen who had fallen on hard times, starring Ralph Richardson and Flora Robson. Production background Because the British authorities in 1939 wanted as many people as possible to enlist for World War II, it was not a good time to be talking about ex-servicemen having problems. Although the film had a première at the Houses of Parliament before an invited audience of MPs and charity workers, it was never shown to the public. A fiscal disagreement between the charity and the agent who was booking the film caused it to be pulled from distribution. ''Smith'' wasn't just thought to be lost, most people didn't even know that it even existed. It wasn't included in any filmography of Michael Powell, and Powell only refers to it briefly and obscurely in his autobiography. The film was discovered in 2003 through the detective work of Mark Fuller of Bristol and a safety print was made by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
