The Rev. Clifton Bradford unwittingly dines with a
prize fighter and an actress and finds them
exceedingly interesting company.
Rev. Clifton Bradford, who wants a wrestling partner. He meets the pugilist and takes a liking to him. He thinks he is a trainer and takes him on. If you care for such things, there is a pretty scene or two on the lawn, where the minister and his new friend give you several of the latest blows in pugilistic circles, while the neighborhood kiddies look on in glee.
The pugilist has a friend who is an actress. He introduces her to the minister with several registers of pride. The minister innocently invites them to dinner, and a reporter sees a big story in a preacher consorting in public with a prize fighter and a vaudeville actress.
It is funny, isn't it? But it isn't so convulsingly funny next day, when the story is in the papers.
There is an elopement; a smash-up, in which Reginald Lumley, the society fop, in love with the actress, gets considerably shaken up, but not too much so to try to flirt with a pretty nurse in the hospital; and finally the loving couples get sorted out in pairs, much to their satisfaction.

Opinions differ as to the "big noise." Some will tell you that it is William Muldoon — the only Muldoon — the man who isn't afraid to make a multi-millionaire get up out of a warm bed at fjvg. of a cold morning and chop wood and do other seasonable stunts. He plays William Muldoon. Others would vote for James J. Corbett, who plays Ted Garvey, the pugilist. And still others would delicately hint that Paul Gilmore, who plays the minister, should come in for a little glory.
Be that as it may, decide the matter for yourself. As against three such stars, who is to say?
The story? It is a good, clean story, with enough comedy to keep it going with plenty of ginger. Here is a minister, the
