OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT.

WESLEY BARRY IN "PENROD."

/ "Penrod" is Marshall Neilan's long; promised screen version of Booth Tarkington's inimitable boyhood characters. It is tne first time that itlias been presented.as a complete feature subject. Freckles Barry playsthe title role with carefree ease, supported by a ■capable cast of at least forty adults and juveniles. They include Marjorie Daw, Tully Marshall, Frederick ("Sunshine Sammy") Morrison and Claire McDowell. All t£& impishness of boyhood jumps to the screen in "Penrod." Produced by Marshall Neilan from Booth Tarkington's inimitable stories, . the picturemakes no pretence of "high-brow" study; but offers an ebulliency of modern boyhood for sheer entertainmentPrices as usual.
