Wesley Barry Selected
AS the Ideal "Penrod':
Booth Harrington Chooses "Freckles" From
List of Forty Actors to Play
Juvenile Role.

In "Freckles' Barry the screen
has found the ideal impersonation
of "Penrod." the boy. character i'm
mortalized in Booth Harrington s
stories. The opinion comes, not
from Marshall Neilan, who has
made the film version of "Penrod.'
that will be shown at Crandalrs
Metropolitan beginning this after
noon at 3. but from Booth Tark E
ington himself. The Indiana au-
thor was largely responsible for
the selection of "Freckles" Barry
for the title role.
II submitted list of nearly
forty boy actors and other child
players to Mr.. Harrington" re-
Gently said Mr.. Neilan. and from
the photographs attached to the
list Mr.. Harrington made his
choice. Mr.. Harrington was famil-
lar with the screen work of
'Freckles' Barry, Marjorie Daw and
Lena Baskette, the 'vamplet in
'Penrod.' and chose them at once
for the leading child roles.
"'Penrod.' Mr.. Mclean pointed
out. lis not merely the story of the
country boy or the tale of the city
boy-he is every boy. In creating
the character of 'Penrod' Mr.. TaTk-
ington has not, as SO many others
have done. portrayed certain type
or class of boy. He has reached
down into the fundamentals Of
every boy and has pictured charac-
teristics that are Immediately cNi-
dent in all American youths. The
story might have taken place in
large city or small town. 1t will
therefore be appreciated by those
who have always lived in the city
as well as those who have never
left the country town.
In portraying Tarkingtons story
on the screen ] have not attempted
to detract from or improve upon it.
To attempt to out-Tarkington
Harrington would be just as fool
ish as to try to out-Shakespeare
Shakespeare. Booth Harrington is
undoubtedly the greatest living
word painter of American boyhood,

as indicated by the triumph of his
'Penrod' stories. 1t has been my
ambition to picturize these charac-
ters as this author has so success
fully visualized them with his PEN"

PONCEDELEON

| PONCE DE LEON, Feb 20.--J. A.
Simmons, our Industrious lumberman n,
| has shipped upwards of 100, 900 feet of
| lumber during the last two or three
weeks. Several cars are being loaded
| at present.
w. M. Spears, who has been building
bungalow in the north side of town,
has now completed it, Mr. Spears lives
at Leonia. The house was built for his
daughter, Mrs. Bessie Brannon, who is
| living here and sending her children to
school at Ponce de Leon.
Parker Tart who has been in the
header mill business here for some
| time, is back from a hunting trip in
the Everglades. MIR. Tart expects to
begin the spring run of his mill in the
| next few days.
During the last few days inquiries
from the L. & N Railroad company
and individuals from the asst coast of
Florida have come to the chamber of
commerce. Invariably these inquiries
are in reference to fruit culture and
general farming school and church
opportunities in and around Ponce de
Leon.
The bushes and other underground
between the high school building and
the town have been cut away. This
provides the town with ample appro-
pirate grounds for it's picnies, which
have become of great interest mad
part of the towns life. An elaborate
Ycamp for tourists is being planned on
part of the cleared grounds. Wood
and other common necessities of camp
life will be provided gratis.
The chamber of commerce hopes to
have out a bulletin in the next few
weeks describing and setting forth the
advantages of this section as a fruit
and general farming country The fact
that the town will offer school oppor-
tunities from the first to the eleventh
grades will also be prominently i'm
cluded. Also photographs of the new
500 school building, the noted
Ponce de Leon Springs, the business
section of the town, the tourist camp
and numerous pictures Of fruit raising
and general agriculture in this section
of West Florida.
Considerable interest is being shown
in the normal school which will be-
gin March Is and continue for four
months. Supt. McDade has said that
there would be very few temporary
certificates issued during the next
scholastic year His statement will
meet the approval of all right thinking
people. The four months normal at
Ponce de Leon will afford an oppor-
tunity for earnest preparation for the
state examinations at Bombay, May
End, and De Funiak Springs July Il.
