• • Malcolm H. Oettinger wrote: Mae met Billy Sunday while making "She Done Him Wrong." They posed at a property bar drinking property beer.  
• • Malcolm H. Oettinger wrote: And it is not unfair to guess that Mae West was saying to evangelist and a temperance movement leader Billy Sunday, "We've both done well, according to our lights."
