Preaches Here

Preaches Here | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
A smiling woman is posing with an open book (probably a Bible) in one hand, and has her other hand raised. Caption reads: "Preaches Here. A girl evangelist from Hollywood, Calif., only 17 but boasting six years experience, is preaching in Milwaukee for two weeks. She is Halleine Smith and is holding her meetings at the Paris theater, Twenty-second and Center Sts., every evening. A few years ago she was expelled from a girls' school in California for daring to call the principal a 'sinner.' Halleine is with her mother and younger brother on a trip east."
