H arold Hartman XYright Q ...,,.,.Russell XValters In Penrod. Booth Tarkington depicts that ever interesting element Q in life. the harmless pranks of boy hood. Penrod Schofield's home is the setting for this interesting drama. Mr, and Mrs. Schofield are conscious of if Penrod's mischievousness and are only annoyed, but they are aware of fi' his childish shrewdness. He. therefore interprets the actions of the clever A crook. Herbert Dade. who has succeeded in hood-winking Penrod's parents 9 and sister, Margaret. Mr. Dade is scheming to filch a neat sum of money from Mr. Schofield U, and other prominent men of the town. He worms himself into their Conti- ' dence and incidently affects a great love for the beautiful Margaret. Penrod. overhearing a careless and derogatory remark of his father's re- 5 garding Mr. Dade, begins with his gang to cover and shadder this crook Dade. He is so effective in his shadowing that Dade makes a very undigni- ij fied get-away, fortunately without any of the money he was so sure of getting. Margaret's infatuation for the wily Dade naturally ends when she dis- E covers what kind of man he is. and she turns to her first love, Robert NVilliams. Thus Penrod and his gang. who are Sam XVilliams and two negroes, Herman and Verman, not only save their parents the loss of money but also D save Margaret from an unhappy union. The mischievous prank-player be- comes a great hero in the eyes of all. 5 fi ffm ?-JDf?:1'!DlE-TTIOGZTIEIF :1UL- -flora-:Julia-in-f.1unL .1Dls..'... lDl.u....JDK 'l5
