The well-chosen cast, under the able direction of Mrs. J. J. Haney, very well portrayed the life of Boyville. The general plot of the play is about the difficulties and pleasures of Penrod and Sam. How they detected the villianous schemes of Mr. Dade, how they accidentally shot Tim in the act of robbing the house and how at last they caused their parents' hearts to swell with pride. The manner in which Sam beat around the bush when questioned about using fire arms is very typical of boys of ten years of age. Margaret, Penrod's sister, is forever being embarassed by his appearance at the most inopportune moments, And Mrs. Schofield becomes very much worried when Penrod will not be a little gentleman, however, she is more worried when she comes home and finds him missing The entire cast showed its ability in every respect.
