 MISS CECIL SOONER

,
 There is a play which is known by old and young throughout the country It tells of sweet and pure little girl of the circus. a strong hearted young minister and a, narrow minded country community. Polly of the Circus has delighted thou sands in every state of the Union and it's charm is still as potent as when it was very new. Miss Cecil Epooner has never appeared in more de- lightfuI role than as Polly, nor has 5PeII Trenton been more pleasing to the audience than as the Rev. John Douglass, so with all the actors of Miss Spooner's company, they are all sp1endidly cast.
 The opening performance given last evening was before the usual large and enthusiastic audience which has been the custom on Monday nights. An innovation in stock production was accorded when moving pictures of Miss Spoonep were shown at the conclusion of the first act and in tho middle of the third, which worked in with the story of the play. The little actress was seen riding bare back and performing on her horse in a circus ring.
 ] The members of the cast this week are, besides Miss Spooner and MT. Trenton: Beulah Monroe as Mrs. | WiI1oughby;s Leonard White and Marion Melrose as Mrs. Wil1oughby' s children; Muriel Valentine as Julia Strong Reta Villers as Mandy Jones; Darrell Vinton as Deacon Strong; Frederic Clayton as Deacon Elver- son; Rob bert Crawford as Big Jim; i; Edward Davidson as Hasty Jones; Philip Leigh as Uncle Toby, Robert Lawrence as Joe Barkerj Russell Bingham as Doctor Hartley.

 The speaker told of how remarkable the holy men thought her great knowl- edge Of their sacred book. 1t is very hard for the Egyptian to nneTnorize and they considered it remarkaES6 that a dog Of a Christian and a sVo- man at that should be able to recite srus passages of the Koran. After they nad tested her, they allowed her to attend their services and told her that if she would commit to memory the e9 Attributes, she might attend any service at any time in Egypt She did learn these and was accorded the singular honor, which was the first time that it had been given a white woman in 50 years
 The fnduenee that the Koran has on common people Is remarkable.
