Auspicious Start For ; the Town's Latest Enterprise. Audience .Re-presentative of Hershey and . Surrounding Country. Spe- . cial Bill and Good Music Every -week seems to be an opening season in Hershey. Last Saturday night it was the new Hershey Central Theater. The contest for the name which had been going on for a month aroused great interest and scores of suggestions were received. It was decided tbat Hershey Central Theater was best, because it most aptly ex-pressed the location and purpose of the enterprise. The big Hershey Park Theater in which close to 2,000 people can be accommodated is on the north side of the railroad and on that side also is' being built the immense auditorium which will have a capacity of over 5,000, The new theater is for fall and winter and is located at the center of the town, in close reach of the homes and just where all the trolleys stop. It is convenient not only to the regu-lar population but also to the people of the near-by places.. So Hershey Central Theater is a name that fits. It wiaTpfbposed by several of the con-testants, but the first , to send it in was Miss Eebekah S. Rauch, of Derry Church, -whose letter was received on the 24th of October, and the prize, a season ticket, was duly awarded to her. . The opening Saturday night was a gala occasion. The theater was filled both down stairs and in the gallery. Most of Hershey was there and many were present from the surrounding country. It was altogether a fine audience and it showed that Mr. Her-shey's latest contribution, to the town's welfare was thoroughly ap-preciated. • The comfort, grace, cheerfulness and excellent acoustics of the theater were much admired. On the lower floor are nearly 500 modern orchestra chairs and the gallery has seats for several hundred, the total accommo-dations being about 700. Builder Putt deserves large credit for his work and Electrician Hull has lighted the building beautifully. The whole is under the charge of Manager Heil-man. The moving pictures are ef-fectively presented by John F. Snave-ly and with his improved equipment his work was first-class in every re-spect. On the opening evening there, were three -vaudeville features. Virling Jamison, of Lebanon Valley College, won general applause by, his dramatic recitations. A quartette from the same college consisted of H. M. Bend-er, E, F. Eichelberger, P. L. Strickler and M. Von Bereghy and its rendi-tions were received with much favor. Those remarkable youngsters, the Runkle Brothers, did a really unusual act and it is hoped they will be seen here again. One of the enjoyments of the evening was tbxe Hershey Band under Director Feese. Then there were five reels of the best pictures. The whole formed a star entertain-ment, of prime quality and gave the new house a promising start as the home of clean and" delightful enter-tainment. ' On the first three nights of this week a singing Indian acrobat gave a very good performance. The pic-tures were much enjoyed. To-night _snd tomorrow night pictures only will be given and the admission will be 5 cents, Saturday night there will be both vaudeville and pictures and the admission will be 10 cents. At Saturday matineo and on Sat-urday night the attractions will bo Brewer and Bowers, professional acrobats who havo one of the best acts on the vaudeville stage. Next week the admission to ,all per-formances except thdso ' of Saturday will be 5 cents. It will be « Popular Woolc unc i fine programs will bo given.

Carload of Flour and Cocoa For Belgium To Be Sent From Hershey AMBASSADOR PAGE CABLED AMERICAN COMMITTEE UR GENT NEED OF FOOD TO SAVE PEOPLE. MR. HERSHEY WIRED CO-OPERATION AT ONCE. PROBLEM WAS TO GET SHIPS. MILLIONS ARE SUFFERING. Hershey is doing more for the vic-tims of the war in Europe than any town of its size in the United States. The record it made in sending gifts to the Christinas Ship aroused comment and admiration and now the Hershey Chocolate Company through M. S. Hershey has offered one of the largest single contributions in the movement to save the Belgian people from star-vation. The Christmas Ship, on which were the boxes of clothing, toys and arti-cle from Hershey, sailed from New York yesterday. She was the United States naval auxiliary steamship Jason. For more than a week day and night, shifts'- were busy stowing the cargo. All towns of ,the United States of five thousand or over sent contributions. Hershey was one of the smaller towns represented and Hershey sent more than most of the towns of five or ten- thousand:—The sailing of the Jason was a bigr event. Urgent Need of Food i An urgent cablegram of November 2 led Mr. Hershey to make his offer. It was from Ambassador Page to Norman Hapgood of the Committee of Mercy in" New. York. It said: "I hope you are in a position to buy and ship immediately a boatload of food to the American Consul at Rotterdam under a neutral flag. I hope the Committee of Mercy.will do our coun-try the honor to send a cargo of food quickly to the worst-stricken 3,000,- 000 women and children in the whole world, who are now suffering actual hunger. This does not call for the sending of money to England. It .calls only for food, to be sent starving women and children. No food can be bought anywhere in Europe." Millions Necessary This call for aid and haste was re-peated in other ways. The chairman of the American Commission for Bel-gian Relief saidj_ "There are still 7,000,000 people in Belgium. In many centers they are receiving an allowance of a little more than three ounces of flour per capita daily. This is not a question of charity or relief to the chronically poor; it is a ques-tion of feeding an entire population. It touches every home in Belgium. Our experts calculate that in order to avoid actual starvation, Belgium must have every month a minimum of 60,000 tons . of wheat, 15,000 tons of corn, 5000 tons of peas or beans iind a limited amount of bacon or lard. This will allow rations of ten ounces per capita daily, which is about half the usual soldier's ration. All this will cost $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 monthly. During the last week we have received and expended in emer-gency food $600,000, and . yet this is only four days' supply. The Belgians are helping themselves, but they can do little. The British and French are under such strain that they also can do, little. Besides, these nations, together with the Dutch, have 1,000- 000 refuges on their hands. Ameri-cans must feed Belgium this winter. There never was such a call on Ameri-can charity, and there never was a famine emergency so great." Mr.v Hershey's Telegram On November fourth the following telegram was sent to the Emergency Aid Committee, 1428 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, and to Norman Hap-good of the Committee of Mercy, New York : y "We are contemplating shipping a car load of flour and. a quantity of cocoa for the relief. of the. people of 'Belgium. Will you place.us in com-munication with proper parties and furnish New York shipping direc-tions? Are making same inquiry in Philadelphia and New York. "Hershey Chocolate Company, per M. S. Hershey." Replies were, received as follows: "Mr. M. S. Hershey, Hershey, Pa. "If you will ship car, send bill lad-ing care Committee of Mercy, Fifth Avenue Building, New York. We will arrange quickest possible shipment. "Norman Hapgood." "To M. S. Hershey, Hershey, Pa. "Many thanks for your offer. Ex-pect to send boat direct from Phila-delphia to Rotterdam on November 17th with supplies for Belgium. C. C. Harrison, Lafayette Building, Philadelphia, will write shipping di-rections to you. "Emergency Committee." After the receipt of these telegrams Mr. Hershey wrote to Mr. Harrison : "Since the receipt of the telegram no shipping directions have been receiv-ed. If, as stated in the telegram, you will furnish these directions, will you please inform me what they are. The carload of flour may probably come over the Pennsylvania railroad; the other supplies over the Philadelphia and Reading. The forwarding of these supplies is awaiting the shipr ping directions." Mr. Harrison replied that "we now expect that a special ship will be sent from New York, carrying supplies of this nature, about the middle of the month. This is about the only method of sending supplies unless they are intended solely for the Bel-gian refugees who are in Holland. ¦ We will send you as soon as possible de-tails regarding shipment so as to reach this vessel." Fifty Happy Years Delightful Celebration of Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Maulfair One of the happiest occasions in the history of Hershey was the cele-bration of the golden wedding anni-versary of Mr. and Mrs. Christian S. Maulfair at their residence on East Chocolate Avenue Saturday evening last. Two hundred guests repre-sentative of tho society, professions, business and public life of the State either in person or in messages ex-tended their congratulations. Those included friends from Now York , Philadelphia , Harrisburg and from states as far West as Iowa and South Dakota. Tho affair was delightful in every respect and In spito of tho re-quest that no presents bo sent there were many beautiful gifts in gold, On November 8, 1804, Christian S, Maualfalr, who was born in North Annvillo Township In 1840, and Eliza A. Rank, a native of Dauphin county, were married in Palmyra by Itov, William S. Emory, pastor of tho Lutheran Church. Thoy resided firs t in Hanover Township and then in Grantvlllo , moving1 soon to Annvillo which was their homo for 28 years, Mr. Maulfair sold to Mr. Horshoy tho land on which tho town of Horflhoy Is built and ho moved hero 'shortly after tho now settlement was started. So Mr. and *MrH. Maulfair are pecu-liarly n part of tho growth and senti-ment of Horshoy and tho anniversary of thoir fifty years of health and mm- Hhlno was an event in which all took especial joy. The difficulty wan in thinking that a half century had olnpsod , for in spirit and In action tho couple wore as felicitous as though thoy wore bride and groom of yes-terday. Mrs. - Mnulfair, very attrao tlvoly dressed, was tho smiling roclp-onfc of showers of compliments and good wishes, while Mr. Maulfair wan oiio of tho liveliest persons of a vory vivacious and inHplrlng gathering, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Maulfair and Miss Mary Maulfair and her mother assisted in receiving. v The Maulfair house is one of the most spacious in Hershey and it was a bower of loveliness. Smilax and autumn greens decorated the recep-tion hall; greens and golden wedding chrysanthemums beautified the living room and parlor, and the dining room was a climax to tho picture. In tho center of the table was a large vase filled with golden wedding chrysan-themums; on tho walls and sidotables wore ' wreathes of asparagus and ferns; and tho soft golden lights fell upon cut glass, golden candolabrium, gold and white satin ribbons and gold-en wicker holders wi^h Killarney roses and asparagus fern. Suspend-ed from the archway between tho parlor and living room wore tho wed-ding bolls with the dates "18(i4—1014" and tho monogram "M-R" in gold, Tho whole effect was most artistic and tho guests wore full of admira-tion and delight.

Auspicious Start For ; the Town's
Latest Enterprise. Audience .Re-presentative
of Hershey and .
Surrounding Country. Spe- .
cial Bill and Good Music
Every -week seems to be an opening
season in Hershey. Last Saturday
night it was the new Hershey Central
Theater. The contest for the name
which had been going on for a month
aroused great interest and scores of
suggestions were received. It was
decided tbat Hershey Central Theater
was best, because it most aptly ex-pressed
the location and purpose of
the enterprise. The big Hershey
Park Theater in which close to 2,000
people can be accommodated is on the
north side of the railroad and on that
side also is' being built the immense
auditorium which will have a capacity
of over 5,000,
The new theater is for fall and
winter and is located at the center of
the town, in close reach of the homes
and just where all the trolleys stop.
It is convenient not only to the regu-lar
population but also to the people
of the near-by places.. So Hershey
Central Theater is a name that fits.
It wiaTpfbposed by several of the con-testants,
but the first , to send it in
was Miss Eebekah S. Rauch, of Derry
Church, -whose letter was received on
the 24th of October, and the prize, a
season ticket, was duly awarded to
her.
. The opening Saturday night was a
gala occasion. The theater was filled
both down stairs and in the gallery.
Most of Hershey was there and many
were present from the surrounding
country. It was altogether a fine
audience and it showed that Mr. Her-shey's
latest contribution, to the
town's welfare was thoroughly ap-preciated.
•
The comfort, grace, cheerfulness
and excellent acoustics of the theater
were much admired. On the lower
floor are nearly 500 modern orchestra
chairs and the gallery has seats for
several hundred, the total accommo-dations
being about 700. Builder
Putt deserves large credit for his
work and Electrician Hull has lighted
the building beautifully. The whole
is under the charge of Manager Heil-man.
The moving pictures are ef-fectively
presented by John F. Snave-ly
and with his improved equipment
his work was first-class in every re-spect.
On the opening evening there, were
three -vaudeville features. Virling
