HARRINGTON MOVIE
NOW AT THE CIRCLE

The screen version Of the Hoosier
author, Booth Tarkington's, Pen
rod and Sam" is being offered as
the main film feature during the
current week at the Circle.
The story has to deal with, as
readers of the original story will re-
member, a boy of II, Penrod Scho-
field. 1t hinges around an Ex-
elusive Club titled the In Or In
lodge of which Penrod is Grand
Mogul Of the most select.
Although Herman and Verman,
twins of color, are brothers in the
lodge, neither George Bassett nor
Rodney Bits are allowed near the
place-the place" being the box
board club house on the vacant lot
next to Periods home. George is
barred because he is much, much
too nice. Rodney is unwanted be-
cause he is a bully, and the son of
the richest man in town.
The picture opens with Penrod, as
usual, finally getting out of school
after having been kept in for an
extra half-hour. Sam, his pal, is
waiting for him. On their way home
they meet Marjorie, the lady Of
their respective eyes.
But today they are a bit hurt by
Marjorie. She has little George
Bassett with her. Sam and Pen
rod hasten to their clubhouse shack
and, with their gang, think up more
ways to annoy George.
That night at home Penrod has
to compose a letter to be read the
next day at school. Instead of do
ing so, however, he plays with his
dog Duke until after bedtime. The
next morning in a panic, he
grabs from the desk of his sister
Margaret a letter she had been writ
ing.
At school Penrod gets up to read
the letter and finds it to be a very
ardent love letter, and in spite of
his writhing and groaning his
teacher forces him to continue it
to the end.
From then on Penrod has to en-
dure the taunts and jibes of his
classmates. In addition to this, he
and Sam fall out as the result of
an argument as to which one of
them will take Marjorie to a party.
ClimaXing all his troubles, Penrod
doses his dog and has a generally
miserable time. However, everything
ends happily.
