'PENROD' FILM
PRESENTED AT
LOCAL THEATER

No writer in American literature
has a better understanding of the
American small boy than Booth
Harrington, whose "Penrod" stories
have delighted many groWn-ups
over a period of years.
Tarkington's famous characters
have now been reproduced on the
screen and will be seen tonight only
at Fox Imperial theatre when Pen
rod and Sam" is presented.
All the elements for a fine eve
ning's entertainment are there. The
energetic Penrod, the always de-
pendable Sam, Rodney, the town
bully; Marjorie, the heroine; Geor-
gle, the mice boy; Herman and
Verman. the colored twins who sup
ply much of the comedy, and of
course, Duke" the greatest dog in
the world.
An excellent cast of juvenile and
adult actors, has been selected, with
Leon Janney as Penrod and Junior
| Coghlan as Sam. Those who want
/ to catch a glimpse backward into
their own childhood days, will no,
overlook the chances to see "Penrod
and Sam
A newspaper film, Sob Sister,
depicting the methods used by some
women writer's on the tabloid sheets
is the Sunday night attraction
Swift action, coupled with plenty
of plotting and a touching romance
make Sob Sister an outstanding
film.
/ James Dunn has the lead mall
role of a rival reporter, with Lindf
Watkins cast as the woman write
who is not any too particular as t
the way she gets her news. A stron
supporting cast has been chosen b
the Fox company to complete tn
picture.

Reports Seeing
Numerous Deer

Deer hunters addicted to long
and tiresome tricks to wild country
in search of venison, apparently
have been guilty of neglecting their
own green pastures as five deer
were seen near Jacumba this week.
D. D. Johnson, driver for Imper-
ial Bus lines, said today that he saw
a buck, a doe and three fawns on
the highway Thursday night and
was unable to stop the machine in
time to avoid striking and killing
the doe.
When the lights of the bus shone
on the animals grouped in the
roadway, said Johnson, the buck
ran to safety while the doe at
tempted to herd the fawns from the
track of approaching danger. She
saved the fawns but the fender
struck her, killing her instantly.
The same driver saw three deer
on the highway early this week.

PASSENGERS ON
SHIP SAVED BY
QUAKER STATE

How a fortune in Quaker State
motor oil was lost, but helped save
many lives imperiled in a sea dis
aster, is one of the thrilling episodes
of the loss the steamship Colombia
off the west coast of Mexico, early
in September.
The liner, enroute from New York
to Pacific ports, carried ia pas
sengers and not a life was lost, al
though the ship went on the rocks
during "a hurricane and was COM
pletely destroyed.
The Colombia cargo included 5000
barrels of Quaker State oil in the
hold, the product being on its way
from Pennsylvania refineries to the
company's storage plant in Los
| Angeles.
According to the Colombia off
GERS, the ship hit the reef sever
times. "At about the fifth smack,
said one of the officers in describ-
| ing the wreck, 1.-The ships bottom
came out and the oil was released
That lucky mishap resulted in q
comparatively smooth oil-coated
sea when we came to launch the
| lifeboatS."

FREEMAN LOSES
WELTER CROWN
TO THOMPSON
By LEON BARON
United Press Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, April Is. (U.P)-The
welterweight division of boxing took
its place alongside the heavyweight
branch and its obviously qualified
incumbents today through the 18th
round victory OF Young Jack
Thompson, California Negro, over
Champion Tommy Freeman, Hot
Springs. Ark, in a scheduled Is
round encounter at public audito-
rium last night.
The bout was stopped in the 18th
round when Freeman, his left eye
badly battered, was unable to con-
tinue. Thompson thereby regained
the title which he relinquished to
Freeman in their l5-round engage
ment here last September.
Although the decision itself was
not unpopular by virtue of COM
manding lead which the Negro built
up in the preceding IL rounds, the
fight was a distinct disappointment
to the 8740 customers who paid
SAG, ,60050 TO see a forecaSted knock
out Instead they saw two fighters,
visibly past their prime, skip through
SO minutes Of long range tapping
and mitigating that would not have
distinguished a school boy brawl.
The spectacle was far more dis
appointing than the one IN which
Freeman won the decision that was
questioned in numerous quarters.
Indicating q poor condition, Free
man was led away under battery
of angular left hooks which his op-
ponent pelted upon his head and
body, his left eye became diScolored
in the fifth and was swollen shut at
the termination of the bout.
According to the United Press
score sheet, Freeman won two OF
the rounds. two were even and the
rest went to the challenger. The
late champions best exhibition was
in the third when he lashed out
with a two-fisted attack against his
opponents abdomen. Smarting un-
der the jabs which were closing his
eyes. Freeman again struck out vi
ciously in the ninth to take that
round.
Freeman's share of the purse was
s21 ,905.53 while Thompson received
s4.381.10.
