CECIL SPOON[R IS
FOR BILLY SUNDAY

The Brat" went TO hear Bill Sum
day last night Miss Cecil Spooner
was there, the actress who appeared
at the Academy last week in a play OF
that name. Sergeant G. c. Green or
the city police force, was responsible
for her getting in, because she did
not reach the auditorium until Z
o'clock and by that time every seat
was filed. She listened attentively
to every word the evangelist said
from the stairs on the platform and
although the policeman let her in on
the agreement that she would hit
the trail she compromised by not
creating a single bit of the rumpus
for which she Is noted on the stage.
Those of the audience who knew her
could find nothing at all wrong with
the Brat's conduct during the serv-
ice.
On being asked what she thought
of Billy Sunday, Misc Spooner
praised the evangelist very heartily.
II think he is simply wonderful" she
said, "A man who can hold an au
dience as large as that a the way
he did is a marvel We actor people
know how hard that is TO do. LIS
voice Is wonderful and the spirit
with which he can impress the
fourth audience in a 81 lgle day is
little short of marvellous. know
he is sincere and I am for Billy Sun
day!"
Miss Spooner was greeted by both
Billy and Ma" Sunday at the close
of the service. She was accompanied
by her sister and n gentleman f: 3m
her company and they did not for
get to thank Sergeant Green as they
went out for his services in getting
them a seat.
