AT THE ARCADIA

For years cynics have declared
that Booth Tarkington's inimitable
characters OF American boyhood. in
volved in his "Penrod" stories, could
never be successfully brought TO the
screen In one complete feature pic
ture.
Despite their protests It has been
done. for "Penrod," with Wesley
Barry in the title role is having a
most successful run at the Arcadia
theatre.
If the picture lacks villains and
counter action It is only because 1t
deals with, juveniles and so is far
more salutary and entertaining than
a great deal of dramatic material
these days. Penrod Schofield, who
has acquired the reputation of being

{ Your: Money
llrrled Up
Year?
Last years fire loss in the
United States and Canada
was over $5OOOOO,OO0. In
the past ten years ST. out OF
every 50 spent in new con-
struction has been destroyed
by FIRE.
Each year we burn up
enough property TO build
homes for a city OF halt
million people - a city as
large as Buffalo.
To put it another way,
$5OOOOO,OOO would have
built over $4,000 miles of
concrete roads at $4,000
mile, or 5000 school build
ings at 100000 each.
Fire loss represents a total
loss of natural resources
together with loss OF time,
wages, customers, good will
and all the disorganizing
effects that follow fire.
In addition FIRE takes an
.nually an enormous toll Of
human life.
To drive home the neces-
sity and profit of buildings
that won't burn is part
of the work Of the Portland
Cement Association.
Time and time again con-
crete has proved itself the
highest type of fire resistive
construction. Concrete
buildings command lowest
insurance rate. Concrete
construction means safety
combined with longest life
at minimum upkeep. Con-
crete grows stronger with
age.
The Portland Cement AS
sociation is constantly as
sisting every movement
directed toward reducing
fire waste through the me-
dium of better building.
Our engineers are at all
times cooperating with
builders, architects and
others with view TO re-
ducing fire hazards.
Aiding the work of fire pre-
vention is typical of the
daily service of the Portland
Cement Association.
