Good Title: 
Front Money  [and did you notice the 
dollar sign in the grid?]
Good Ones:Horse play   EQQUS [not really about horses, of course]
Somme one   UNE
Preschool group?   ROE [fish eggs will hatch and swim in a group]
Father of Henry II   EDSEL [not the king; the magnate]
Word whose last two letters are an example of it   DIGRAPH
Beethoven’s fifth?   SOL [do, re, mi…]
Theme: first word of phrase can precede the word money --- and make cents: PLAY, SMART, etc
By the Way:Congats. to Robin who clued ACER properly.  Does he read this space?
Artwork in a cliched come-on   ETCHINGS [wow that’s an oldie --- wonder how many young ladies would be enticed to a man’s apartment to see his etchings, or if they even know what etchings are?  Perhaps APU cells would be more au courant.]
Who knew?:EDNA was Tract Turnblad’s mother, or Tracy Turnblad for that matter.
APU operated Kwik-E-Mart, or that the was a Kwik-E-Mart.
Fear Street was written by RLSTINE, or that either existed.  And crossed by READYROOM, whatever that is, makes it a bit challenging.
BOTREE is a sacred fig
Some Nits to Pick:Data   INFO [yes, but couldn’t anything be information: words, pictures, a tree]
ARPA is Italian
MIRA is Spanish
