The nature of the pJay is such that readily appeals to tlo general public and the manner in which it was staged met with the approval of all present and reflected considerable credit upon members tljo cast and Miss Grace Hamilton, of the faculty, who, as directress, enabled the young thespians to give the proper color to the production.

'BYom beginning to end the interest ot tho spectators was held, the rounds of applause and the laughter created' during the humorous moments showing that the audience was appreciative. The play was in four acts and between each act enjoyable selection wore rendered by the Saxon orchestra, witer the leadership of ltobert Campbell. Penrod, the irresistible miehievous boy, tho creation of Booth Tarkington's clever imagination, Is the character around whom the. play revolves, l'enrod's -boyish capers cause no end of worritfient in the- SiWolicld hoVne and frequently bring embarrassment' upon Penrod's sister, Jliss FcUolleld, in view of the fact that Pen-rod and his playmates, Sam Williams, Herman and Verman, have a strong dislike for Herbert Dade. Mr.

Dade, an unscrupulous villian, uses the affections of Margaimt to work a crooked scheme in which ho plans to make Mr. Scholield and Ms. Jones, a friend of the Scholleld family, his victims. 3r. Dade's attention towards Margaret are bewailed by Robert Williams, who is himself enamoured of fair Margaret.

Becoming imbued with tho detective fever, the result of witnessing a thrilling movie, -Penrod forms a detective agency and appoints his three playmates as his colleagues. A Jocular remark made by Mr. Scho- fleld to the effect that Mr. Dade was a harse thief resulted in the thwarting ofi the dastardly plansof Dade and Tim, a crook, who was assisting him, Penrod, taking the remark of his father in earnest, with tht assistance of his playmates, shadow Dade and bring about his downfall. Of course Margaret is brokenhearted at having been basely deceived, but finally realizes that she had oniy been, infatuated by the smooth manner of tho villian.

She willingly surrenders her heart to Robert Williams, much to the young man's delight. Penrod becomes tho hero of his friends and the household. The chief of police commends him for hls work and confers upon him a badge for theVbest Boy Scout. Delia, the Scholield cook; Jarge, the cook's nephew Mrs. Rnsset who is unduly proud of her "sissy" son, Marjorie Jones, greatly admired by Penrod and Rev.

Lester Kinosling arc other characters! entwined the delightful play. In the leadihg role as Penrod, Miss Cathran J. Fear displayed exceptional talent. Her interpretation' of the boy character was clever and realistic in respect ard she is worthy of high commendat.on. The part was one which required a decided sense of humor and a careful study of boyish traits.

'Miss Ruth Browning, who played? the part of Mrs. Scholield, Penrod's mother, took the part of a trial-bearinn mother in a commendable manner. Robert Kchaller portrayed the part of Mr. Schofiold, a man, of many worries, the principal one of which was Penroa. The natural acting of Mr.
