The Spooner Comedy Company is in
deed "out of sight" of such towns as
Audubon. They were in Des Moines
last week, play five nights in Atlantic
this week, and open an engagement in
the Peoples theatre In Chicago sun
day evening. The company is now
composed of fourteen lrst-class people.
Painstaking effort has awaited much in
Spooner's progressive career in the
field OF legitimate theatrical work,
though the secret of financial success
is in giving a good show for q little
money.
