Penn’s Village Reads Short Stories


This month’s Evening Reads focuses on the loss of innocence.

Beginning with The Girl from Red Lion, P.A., H.L. Mencken tells the story of a girl who sins and runs away from home to the big city of Baltimore. With the help of the city’s most famous madame and a couple of newspapermen, the protagonist is set straight and sent home. The story was published in The New Yorker in 1941.

A Letter from Ruth Gordon to Her Parents was written in 1916, when the unknown actress made her stage debut in a revival of Peter Pan. Gordon’s letter was published in Women's Letters, America from the Revolutionary War to the Present (2015).

Polly MacIntyre started acting in Houston, Texas during the1980s, eventually becoming a company member at Main Street Theater in Philadelphia. She created “Belles of Dublin,” an evening of Irish theatre and music. Polly’s film work includes “Bob and the Trees,” which won the Grand Prize at the Karlovy Vary Festival and “Down With the King,” which premiered recently at Cannes and won the Grand Prix at the Deauville Film Festival.
