The Hershey Press 1911-07-06

              is one of the best child actors ever seen
in Hersh ey park. While he is only six
years old he handles his act with rare
skill which would lend, credit to veteran
performers^ • His act consists of two
songs, a clever recitation and a buck
and wing dance. Master Zeiglef is a
favorite at the park.
East but not least we have Higgin 's
Players presenting a.one act farce com-edy,
"The New Janitor, or the Dippy-
Shop." This is to laugh. The cast
comprises four persons. Mr." Kelly, an
able comedian, keeps the audience
laughing. He does credit to his name
as he is certainly a clever Irish come-dian.
Miss Higgins who represents the
demented woman in this act deserves
credit as her part is a difficult one. It
is cleverly handled. Shadow is a prom-inent
part in this act. It is played by
Mr. Higgins. It is evident that he was
not fed on a Hershey farm. A lean and
hungry looking individual is requited to
play this! part. Mr. Higgins meets all
requirements. He creates many laughs.
The closing of the act is very exciting
as well as funny and leaves the. audience
smiling and happy..

Crowd Approac hes Ten Thousand , Fireworks
In tire Evening
D
" 1UST one less ticket was sold
J this year on liie H. & C.
J trolley- lines than was sold i
¦ J last year. It is estimated
that nearly ten thousand' persons en-joyed
the privileges of the park during
the day. They began to pour in early
in the morning and continued thruout
the day and evening.' There were sev-eral
special trains and the trolley cars
ran on a 15-minute sch.edule. ..- .'¦
Every attraction in the park was gen-erously
patronized and there was some-thing
to amuse everybody, both young
and old. In spite of the intense heat
which surpassed the experience of even
the oldest visitors everybody seemed to
have a good .time. There was a band
concert in the morning, one also in the
afternoon and evening. Boating, base-ball,
dancing, the miniature trolley arid
merro-go-round furnished amusement
for hundreds. The new refreshment
parlor in the room of the old shooting
gallery proved attractive to persons in
that part of the grounds; The gallery
has been placed below its former quar-ters
and a very neat platform and roof
has been built for this department.
A matinee was given in the afternoon
in the theater and another performance
in the evening. The house was crowded
on both occasions. A fine display of
fireworks was given in the evening on
the baseball field. This was witnessed
by many hundreds. Others who did
not go over, to the field watched the
aerial pieces which could be seen from
a .distance. The beautiful display of
electric lights, the music of . the band,
the great throngs of people, the long
lines of automobiles, etc., all made it
seem more like a -great exposition
grounds than a park in a little town.
Gradually Hershey park is becoming
one of the most popular summer grounds
in the state. It is a fact worthy of
special mention that in the face of the
immense crowds and intense heat there
was.not a single accident or prostration
during the entire day.
Glorious Fourth at the Park
H
I WING to the great increase in
the freight business . at this
station it has become necessary
to enlarge the present freight
house. Ground has been staked off for
50 foot addition. This together with
many other indisputable signs gives'evi-dence
of the rapid growth of Hershey.

able Talent on Stage I
n
lHE show this week opens with
on overture by Rossini, "Wil-liam
' Tell. " , This, difficult
¦ 1 piece, is rendered by Charles
L. Maurer and the rendition speaks for
itself. Mr. Harry Taylor, the English
yodler and comedian, certainly enter-tains.
He has an excellent baritone
voice. His imitations of different great
actors meets the approval of all gath-ered
at the theater. Next we have
Clous and Hoffman, two able mixers of
German comedy. To say the least, they
are funny and keep the audience in an
uproar. . These two performers believe
in the old adage, "Laugh and grow
fat," rather . than grow fat and be
laughed at.
Then we have Dave Gaston in an act
of originality. He wins the audience at
the start and keeps them laughing un-til
the finish of his act. His songs and
dances are well rendered. The warm
weather does not affect this artist,
His agility is wonderful. Master Elmer
Ziegler, the juvenile actor, more than
does his patt of the entertaining. He
