" IOLLGWING the overture by
Mr. Maurer, the wonderful
Travis York, direct from
»— J London Music Halls, pre-sented
one of the neatest impersonat-ing,,
ventriloquial acts ever seen here.
Altho he is a man he impersonates a
woman to such perfection that the au-dience
could hardly believe their eyes
when he removed his wig. He was a
decided hit and was applauded in such a
manner that he could have taken a num-ber,
of enchores.
Leon Miller and Grace Tempest fol-low
with a singing, dancing and athletic
act called Kix and Trix. Miss Tempest
won the $1,000 prize offered by the
Chicago Tribune last year for the most
perfectly formed woman in Illinois. Mr.
Miller is-the champion high kicker of
America, kicking as high as 13 feet, 6
inches. He is also a ground tumbler
and an acrobat. He was for years the
physical director of the 87th street Y.
M. C. A; in New York City. His pow-erful
physique is not displayed as he ap-pears
in conventional dress.
Joe Lanigan is a screaming hit. He
is not pretty at all or any. He is elon-gated
to a degree, built like a rail fence.
His jokes produced great laughter and
some of the material used in jokes and
song is original;
Tanean and Claxton furnish plenty
of mirth and music both of which are
good. They are both funny to say the
least. Miss Glaxton's German especi-ally
pleases the audience. She is not
elongated like Mr. Lanigan but is more
on the short and wide order. Mr.- Tan-ean
is a fine cornetist who can play as
loud as ten ordinary players; then .a
tone is produced which is as soft as an
echo.
Gates and Blake are a scream.
Blake's makeup as a Hebrew is com-plete
and he has the dialect perfectly.
Gates sings a new and clever selection
which ' he renders well. Mi*. Blake's
songs are as funny as any heard here.
Blake is one of the youngest comedians
on the road having just reached his 21st
year.—M. ' .

HOSE of you who are interested
no matter to what extent,
whether large or small, have
— 1 no doubt noticed by the ac-counts
in the papers how loyally the
people of all the large cities and even
small towns support their respective
teams by attending the games. Don't
you know that right here in this. little
burg of ours we have one of the best
teams in existence? A winning team,
at that. They have not had much sup-port
from their own people but they
have kept right at it, winning game af-ter
game. They are playing as good
ball as the tri-state players and they are
deserving of better support.
^
It would be hard to pick out individu-al
stars, they are all doing well. Brilli-ant
plays have been made, which if
made in.a league game would have been
reported all over the country* Lots of
you are interested enough to ask,
"What's the score? " Don't wait to
get it second handed but attend the
games and count the score as each run
is made and feel that thrill which runs
through one when a brilliant play is
made or one of our boys makes a run.
There is to be a game on our home
field Saturday and rooters are needed.
Don't you suppose the boys will . feel
better and work harder if the grand-stand
and bleachers are full than if
there .are only a few present? Put
yourself in their places and you certain-ly
will realize how much they will ap-preciate
more encouragement. You
know how you like encouragement in
whatever you undertake, therefore can-cel
any engagement you may have on
Saturday afternoon and be on hand to
Root, Root, and then Root some more
for Hershey. ^W. R. W.

' I AST week mention was made
concerning the union church
services to be held in the park
' during the month of August.
It is possible at this time to announce
the speakers for each of the four meet-ings.
The first one will be held next
Sunday evening when the . Rev. Dr. C.
W. Brewbaker, of, Chambersburg will
speak. He has been a pastor there for
several years. His church is one of the
largest in the United Brethren denomi-nation,
having a membership of oyer
1100 and a property worth $52,000. He
is an eloquent speaker arid will use
as his subject, "Projected Efficiency. "
None will wish to miss hearing Dr.
Brewbaker.
Rev. J. Beveridge Lee, D.D., of Phila-delphia,
-will speak on the following
Sabbath, August 13 Dr. Lee was for
years the chairman of the Evangelistic
Committee of the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church and his field
embraced the entire United States. He
is known to some of the Hershey resi-dents
who have heard several of his:
eloquent addresses. Dr. Lee is now
pastor " of a presbyterian church in
Philadelphia. We. were particularly
fortunate in securing him " for our
meetings.
Hon. John H. Reed, president of the
Report Publishing Company and editor
of the Lebanon Report will be here on
the 20th. Mr. Reed has spoken here
before. His address on the "Three
Principles of Life" given before, the
Yv M. C..A..will be long remembered.
He is a splendid orator and will, be wel-comed
to another of our services.
We have already spoken of the last
speaker, Bishop W. Bell, of Los An-geles,
California. It was only possible
to secure the Bishop as he will be so
near us giving addresses at the state
Y. M. C. A. conference at Mt. Gretna.
It would be difficult to gather together
four more eloquent men than the above
named. There will be a sacred band
concert in the park between the hours
of 6.30 and 7.30 p. m. on Sunday. There
will be an entirely^ different program
rendered from the one used during the
week. The regular church service wil
begin at 7.30 o'clock. There will be
special, music at this service also.; This
is surely a rare treat for the people of
Hershey and is;hoped that none will
miss it.

Brewbaker, D.D
