'PENROD' REMINDS MEN
OF THEIR BOYHOOD
','lmatization of Booth Tark.
ington's Stories Calls Back
Memories of Youth

A notable feature of the play Pen
rod" which comes to the Garrick
Theatre Monday. Is its appeal to men
advanced in years. This fact was noted
during the New York engagement when
elderly men attended the performance
in considerable numbers and seemed
thoroughly to enjoy themselves. Very
evidently the doings of Penrod femind
the men in the audience of their own
boyhood days. This is especially true
In the last act when Penrod Is questioned
by his father concerning some hap
penings with which he has had some
thing to do. His evasion of truth under
the cross-examifiation of his irate father
produces gales of laughter from the
men who in their youth had some
similar experience.
The evaporation of Henry Schofield,
the father, touches responsive chord
in every father of a boy The things
that Penrod and his chunl, Sam. do
have been done by all boys. That they
are real boys constitutes the charm of
the play, for every male member of the
audience recognizes in their mischief
the usual incidents in the development
of a boy.

ACTRESS TELLS OF AIR RAIDS
Violet Englefeld Says Londoners
Finally Got Used to Them

The bombing of London scene in "The
Passing Show of 1915" now appearing
at the Chestnut Street Opera House,
calls back some unpleasant memories
to Violet Englefield, whose singing III
the Call Curci Rag" is one Of the
features Of the revue. Miss Englefield
was leading comedienne at the Empire
Theatre, London, when the German air
raids were at their height.
I'VE got so used to the raids says
Miss Englefield that toward the last
we hardly noticed them. The after
effects, however. were often very un-
pleasant. Fer instance, my husbands
office In one of the leading West End
theatres came through one of the raids
with wall cracked and all the win
dows blown out. Because of the short
age of labor it was nearly six months
before the room could be made habit
able again." '.....,
Miss Englefield also was greatly in
convenienced by the Generalization Of
rail traffic during the air raids. The
moment an alarm was sounded all
lights in the railroad depots were ex-
tinguished and all trains temporarily
suspended. On one occasion Miss Engle-
field arrived at Paddington Station Just
as an alarm was sounded, and 1t was
nearly five hours later before the train
moved out of the station. All this time
the travellers were compelled to- sit in
pitch darkness.

46 YEARS IN One EMPLOY
James S. Rawling, Union League
Veteran, Began as Bellboy

James S. Rawling today completed
his forty-sixth year in the employ of
the Union League. The club was a
fourishing political organization. ten
years old, when he started to work the
morning of November 23, 1872, as a bell
boy. He has never worked for any one
else, and he expects to end his days in
the same service.
AS he grew older he was promoted
until he was given charge of the billiard
room, position he has held thirty y-one
years.
He can remember distinctly the recep-
ton given to General U. S. Grant when
the Civil War commander returned from
his trip around the world The biggest
crowd he ever saw in the clubrooms
was on the occasion of the visit OF Ii
Hung Chang, when members and visi-
tors stood on tables and chairs to get
glimpse of the Chinese guest Not
least of the celebrations within his
memory was the one of November IL
when 1t was announced that the armis-
tice between the associated powers and
Germany had been signed,
