It was only natural, in view of the
aass production. that "Penrod" would
eventually find its way to the screen.
From all advance accounts the pro.
ducers have held much closer to the
original than was the case with 'Sev-
enteen," which was butchered fright
fully. At any rate. no better director
than Marshall Neilan could be imagined
and no more fit boy star than ives
Barry.
Neilan. by the way, seems to have
retired altogether from the acting game.
and fans of today don't realize that at
one time his curls and ready smile made
him one Of the best. liked of leading
men on the screen. Though he has done
many fine things directorially. his
"Stella Maris" still stands out as about
hist most notable attempt. He has
proved again and again that he loves
and understands children, and he GER
tlialy has plenty Of chance to demon
strate that fact In "Penrod." We will
miss the unintelligible gibbering Of the
tongue. tied Verman. and undoubtedly
" will miss even more some of Mr..
Tarhington's uncannily true passages Of
small town boy life, but with Marshall
Neilan at the helm this collection Of
eo!hood adventures ought to make bully
fun.
THERE is no author Of repute con.
- nected with the Aldine film. but il
sounds rather attractive, and has the
advantage Of most charming and
capable leading lady-F1orence Vidor.
