The Hershey Press 1926-03-18

              Music lovers of Lebanon Valley will have
the opportunity of hearing one of the first
concerts to be given by Marion Talley, the
nineteen-year-old girl of Kansas City, Mo.,
whose debut at the Metropolitan Opera
House was- the musical sensation of the
country and featured on the.first page of
the nation's press in such a way that this
young American girl's'name is already a
household word. ;
Within the memory of the oldest habi-tues
of the Metropolitan Opera House
there has never been such a scene as at-tended
the debut of this girl. The opera
house was mobbed by 10,000 people, so
that the police reserves had to be called out
or the regular ticket holders couldf not have
entered the hall. Tickets sold as high as
$200 apiece, and the auditorium was
packed to the extent that firemen refused
to allow another person within the build-
The youngest singer who ever stepped
on the Metropolitan stage, Marion Talley
achieved that night a triumph which has
been compared only to Patti and Jenny
Lind. Her youth, her beauty, her re-markable
composure, the freshness, and
silver quality of her voice, earned her over
forty recalls, and the ovation she received
following her "Caro Nome" assumed
Caruso proportions. The phenomenon of
a young girl who had never performed on a
stage, and indeed had never sung with an
orchestra, to make her debut at the world's
greatest opera house in a leading role and
meet the exciting tasks imposed by the
standards of this house, is considered by
many the most remarkable feat in musical
history, and, as has already been stated,
Miss Talley's triumph compares most
favorably with . her great predecessors,
Jenny Lind and Adaline Patti.
The unspoiled youth of this girl, her
childish beauty, the appealing freshness of
her voice and the remarkable romance of
her climb at so youthful an age to the
highi st pinnacle of art, is regarded as one
of the most extraordinary triumphs of
American pluck and perseverance. »
Hundreds of cities have wired to secure
concerts by Miss Talley, as public interest
in her singing has not been equaled since
the last tour of the late lamented Enrico
Caruso. Hershey, therefore, can consider
itself fortunate in hearing one of the first
concerts to be given by the sensational new
singer of the hour.
This concert, which will take place in the
Hershey Park Convention Hall on Sunday
afternoon, May 30th (Decoration Day) will
no doubt be one of the biggest musical and
social events ever given in the history of
Hershey and when Miss Talley, the real
American artist, steps on the stage to sing
for us "Caro Nome" from Rigoletto, in
which she made her debut, and some of her
other famous operatic arias, and to sing, as
only an American woman can sing, such
favorites as "Home, Sweet Home," "Com-ing
Thru the Rye", and "Annie Laurie,"
we will all no doubt feel proud that we are
her compatriots. ''

When A High Wind Blow.
Some men may shrink from the biting blast
And stay in where the warm fire glows.
But we like to stroll down the avenue
When a high wind blows.
For we are made of a sterner grade
Than this hot-house brand of men,''
And we like the freeze of the stinging breeze
Yes' we do, and then *
When skirts are short, it is jolly sport
Just to view the silken hose
That is visible to the naked eye
When a high wind blows.
The automobile shows and a few days of
spring like weather work wonders with a
level headed man sometimes. Now is the
time, as the Man with the Wooden Leg
says, when a fellow has to watch himself or
he will wake up some fine morning and
find he has swapped the automobile he
finished paying for a month ago for a
brand new car and a brand new encum-brance
on the same. It's wonderful what
a little touch of spring will do, aided by the
hope that spring's eternal in the human
breast.
Fable
Once upon a time there was an author
who disliked seeing himself in print.
I never will outgrow the inward chuckle
that comes to me whenever a witness is
sworn in, says Old Judge Whitehead of the
County Seat. It always strikes me funny
that a man must swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth , when he is being examined by the
lawyers. I never yet presided at a trial
where a witness was allowed to tell the
whole truth. The witness is only allowed
to tell such facts as the lawyer thinks will
benefit his particular side of the case.
The Question
"As soon as I found out there was a
possibility of dishonest profit being made
in the business, I got out of it," said the
business man.
"Yes, go on and finish the sentence,"
returned the reporter.
"I have. I said I got out of it."
"Yes; yes; but my business is to discover
what you got out of it."
Vicar—Now that you two are one—
Bride—Which one?
Vicar—Ah, you must find that out for
yourself.
Mother—If you wanted to go fishing,
why didn't you come and ask me first?
Tommy—Because I wanted to go fishing
- Patient—Can this operation be per-formed
with safety, doctor?
Surgeon—I've performed at least fifty,
and look at me.
The Nocatur, Kansas, Dispatch adver-tises:
"Will you bring in what you owe for
our newspaper or do you want us to come
out after it, and stay to dinner?"
A Witty Corporal
The French still possess the quickness of
wit and neatness of phrase for which they
have long been famous. A nameless
corporal who was in General Gourand's
army in Champagne is the latest to uphold
the reputation of his race.
A very raw French sentry, mistaking this
corporal for an officer, saluted him. The
'non com", unaware that General Gourand
was close behind him, returned the salute,
although he knew that under the circum-stances
it should not have been given.
When he got back to his quarters, he
found an order for him to attend before his
commander-in-chief.
When he reported , General Gourand
rated him soundly and asked him why he
returned the salute when he must have
known he was not entitled to it.
The man was not in the least abashed.
"Sir, I always return anything to which
I am not entitled ," he said.
His reply turned Gen. Gourand's dis-ciplinary
indignation into a burst of hearty
laughter.
Why is a true and faithful friend like
garden seeds?
Because you never know the value of
either until they are put under the ground.
Which is the more valuable a five dollar
bill or a five dollar gold piece?
The five dollar Dill; because when you
put it in your pocket you double it , and
when you take it out again , you see it in-creases.
When basketball was in its initial stages
Up Where We Come From, the game was
often nearly as rough as football. An old
lady went to a game for the first time with
the purpose of seeing her son play.
After the game the young man was ex-plaining
the game to his mother. "The
fellow I was playing against got sore as the
deuce," said the young man.
"I should have thought you both would
have been sore all over, the way you rolled
around on that dirty door, exclaimed the
young chap 's mother.
Our farm hand , Alf , was a constant
student of the weather , as he was always
on the lookout for rainy days which meant
a respite from his weary lalxirs. I le used
to look forward with particular anticipa-tion
to that season of the year which ushers
in spring, the sweet nights are of equal
length Is known In the geography liook as
the equinox and the storms at this time are
called equinoctial. The hist mentioned
adjective however, was foreign to Alt's
vocabulary, lie Vised' to call the storms
by a name of his own brewing which no
doubt served his punxise just as well. Alf
used to nay, "Dee Jay, the oxen will be
equal on the twenty-first , then, oh boy,
watch out for them oxen equal rains.'
The bigger they are, the harder they full.
If n mouse fell down a mine shaft of 1500
feet , it would merely bump itself on land-ing,
glVe Itself a shake, and run away. A
rat would break its bones, while all that
would remain of a man or n horse after n
similar ndventure would lie a splash.
The cottage small by the waterfall has a
circular stairway which said to our bed
spring, "Thou shall riot [wish." Not to Imj
bested by anything as inanimate as a
stairway, we phoned a mechanic to come
and cut the springs in two and to drill
holes and make it ixisslble for the thing to
bo bolted together again , once it was up-stairs.
There was nobody homo at the
cottage. There was nolxxly home some-where
else. For when we returned at
evcnfnll the springs were upstairs, welded
solidly together again, so If wo ever need to
move the springs will have to Ixj sawed
apart ngaln. It gives us a feeling of se-curity,
wc must admit to feel that , how-ever
much in debt we may be, that ultho
the Installment people may take every-thing
else, the springs are upstairs to stay.
Hubby—What's the matter with you?
I'm trying to get ahead?
Wlfey—I hope you do. You need one.

"The Coast of Folly",
Friday and Saturda y
"The Coast of Folly," Gloria Swanson's
latest starring picture for Paramount,
which will be the feature at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Friday evening, March
19th, at 7.30 o'clock, and Saturday eve-ning,
March 2Qth, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock,
has an American background of the aris-tocracy
of wealth as best exemplified in
the exclusive orbit of Palm Beach, the
"Coast of Folly", and New York.
In the prologue to "The Coast of Folly,"
Nadine Gathway, a young, beautiful and
tempestuous girl, is married to a middle-aged
millionaire who is prosy and narrow
by nature.
Bored by the dull rigidity of her married
life she deserts him and her baby, faring
forth in the world to seek the romance her
heart craves.
But mother love triumphs in the end.
Years later after a colorful career, she is
drawn irresistibly to her daughter when
the latter becomes involved in a difficulty.
Miss Swanson portrays Nadine Gath-way,
and also Joyce Gathway, the daugh-ter.
She brings a dramatic finesse that is
fairly genius into the characterizations.
_ True to life, the husband passes into the
discard. How his wife finds happiness
eventually on the very brink of destruction
is a powerful theme of the story.
Allan Dwan, who directed Gloria in
"Manhandled," "Her Love Story" and
"Wages of Virtue," produced the story
from Forrest Halsey's adaptation of the
novel by Coningsby Dawson.
Ivan L. Mease
Delivers Address
at Conference
The Pennsylvania State Sabbath School
Association held its mid-year conference of
officers, directors, educational committee
and staff of the State Association together
with the presidents and secretaries ot each
of the counties of Pennsylvania at Wil-liamsport,
from March 9th to 11th.
The two eligible members from Dauphin
County were the president, Ivan L. Mease
of Hershey, and the general secretary,
Robert E. Ward of Harrisburg. They
both attended this conference and Mr.
Mease delivered an address during the
conference on "Cooperative Effort and
Religious Education."
The Conference was very helpful and
very interesting and much discussion of
the problems of the various counties of
Pennsylvania took place. About twenty-nine
counties of the State were represented
by presidents and secretaries.
The Conference was in the form of talks
by the various presidents and secretaries,
followed by a d'scussion period in which
the entire body gave their opinions on the
solutions of the different problems brought
up. Mr. Walter E. Myers, general secre-tary
of the State Assoc ation presided
throughout and was very helpful in sug-gestions
regarding county problems. The
entertainment was furnished by the church
people of Williamsport and the meals were
furnished by the ladies of the conference
church. It was found that Dauphin
County ranks very high among the coun-ties
with regard to the standard of Sunday
School work being done.
J. Farrell MacDonald
as "Dixie Merchant "
J. Farrell MacDonald, the unforgettable
"Casey " of the Fox Films "The Iron
Horse as Jean Paul Fippany, the philo-sophical,
lazy, absentminded merchant
from Dixie whose life is centered on his
little mare Marseillaise—
Madge Bellamy, as his spunky little
daughter who manages her father in spite
of his protests and gets him to do his
maximum of work—and who in turn re-fuses
to marry the wealthy Jimmy Pickett
because he has never earned enough money
to support one let alone two—
Jack Mulhall in the role of the impulsive
Jimmy who goes to work because he loves
the vivacious and sparkling little daughter
of old Fippany—the one girl in the world
who didn 't fall madly in love with him at
first sight—
These are the three leading characters in
Fox Films production "The Dixie Mer-chant
which comes to the Hershey Central
Theatre on Tuesday evening, March 23rd,
at 7.30 o'clock.
This delightful Southern epic, produced
under the able direction of Frank Borzagc,
is filled with all the ingredients that go to
make a truly enjoyable picture . The
characters are true-to-lifc, the situations
plausible and the story simple. All the
charm and interest of "The Chicken
Wagon Family," the novel by Barry Bene-field
from which the picture was adapted ,
is retained and enlarged .
The supporting cast is exceptionall y well
chosen. It includes Frank Bcal, Edward
Martindale , Harvey Clark , Claire Mc-
Dowell, Evelyn Ardcn and Onset Conly.
"Cherry bloBsom" one o the fastest racing
horses in California was secured to appear
as "Marseillaise" the little mare around
whom the plot revolves.
$10,000 Road Fund
Available for County
The State Highway Department has
notified Dauphin County Commissioners
that a balance of $10,983.71 remains of the
State's appropriations ear-marked for
secondary roads in Dauphin County. This
balance will lie left alter three miles of
concrete on Jonestown r<xul , built Inst
year , and three additional miles for which
contracts were let a week ago, have l>ccn
paid from the 1925-26 appropriation which
the State uses to build secondary roads on
a 50-50 basis with counties.
The Dauphin commissioners state they
will match the State balance and will de-cide
later on which road to use It.
JWe hope the Commissioners will spend
this on the Horslieshoe Pike—this is about
the worst piece of road on the State.)

Three high school teams from District
No. 3, P. I. A. A., will meet this week to
determine the distr ct winner.
Hershey High and Hanover High
played at York Wednesday night, and the
winner will play Tech on,Friday night.
Claims of the three teams to the district
title were presented at a meeting of the
executive board of District No. 3 at the
Hotel Penn-Harris Monday night, and
action was taken to determine the team
that will represent the district for the
State Championship. Tech's record as
champion of the Central Pennsylvania
League automatically entitles the Maroon
to consideration in the matter of selecting
the winner.
Both Hershey and Hanover were repre-sented
and their records for the season
considered before the elimination games
were ordered. Hershey won twenty-six
games and lost none, and although the
team played no outstanding high school
quintet, the board decided that Hershey
was entitled to a chance at the title. Hano-ver
High won twelve games and lost two,
the defeats, however, being at the hands of
Gettysburg Academy and Washington
Central High. For this reason the board
decided that Hanover was also entitled to
bid for the district championship.
Both Games at York
The two teams will meet on the York
skating rink, the scene of York High
School's home league games. The game
on Friday night will also be played at
York. Tech has played there this season
and the winner of Wednesday's contest
will also have played on the same court.
In that way, the contending teams on
Friday will both have the same chance as
far as the floor is concerned.
No other teams from District No. 3
presented claims to the championship, and,
for that matter, there are no other high
school quintets in the district"with records
as good as the teams that have been se-lected
to play for the district title.
There was no opposition on the part of
the board members to the cla ms of Her-shey
and Hanover. The two teams have
excellent records this season and either
one is likely to give Tech all the opposition
the Maroon is looking for. The game on
Friday night will present an interesting
situation to basketball followers. Tech, a
team that has played the faster high school
teams in this part of the State and has been
successful in conquering them, will face
a team that has confined its contests to the
smaller schools. Just how equally matched
the teams are is at present a matter for
conjecture. . * »••<
A Remarkable Team
Coach Palmgren has developed a re-markable
team at Hershey, plenty of
reserve material, virtually essential to a
basketball team's success, being ready at all
times to supplement the varsity. In com-piling
its remarkable string of victories the
Hershey dribblers were seldom pushed to
their limit.
Purcell and Stover, the regular forwards,
are accurate shots and work well together,
while the lanky Warner at center plays a
big part on the attack. Balsbaugh, Parry
and Miller share the guard duties and do a
good job of it.
Both tomorrow night 's and Friday

Hershey High
Basketeers Add
Two More Victories
The Hershey High School boys basket-ball
team made it 26 straight when they
won both their week-end games by defeat-ing
Manheim High School, 68-23 and
Carlisle High School, 37-24.
The Manheim courtmen , who held the
undefeated Hershey combination to a close
score at Manheim were completely out-classed
in their tilt on the Men's Club
floor Friday night.
A rccorcf breaking crowd was in attend-ance
and with their loyal support nothing
other than victory could have been ller-shey's.
The local dribblers were in tip-top
form and the sensational field goals as
well as their accurate passing justified the
fans continuous uproar.
The score at halves stood 31-9 and this
large margin alone would have liecn
sufficient to give the Hershey toys a
victory.
On Saturday afternoon the Carlisle
High tossers were here to put an end to
Hershey 's winning streak , and only their
combined efforts and admirable team-work
prevented Carlisle from going home happy.
Earlier in the season Hershey met with
little difficulty in running up a large score
on the Carlisle team in their home town ,
but the tea m has recently been strength-ened
by a few "ineligibles" being qualified
and this condition added greatly to ller-shey
's troubles.
The Carlisle boys exhibited a fine brand
of basketball and ill times llershey 's
hopes seemed to lie fading. Symehow to
llershey 's surprise, the team always kept
the score in their favor although it was only
a one pint margin at half time. The
second half Carlisle lost tliejr fast pace,,as
miniy other op)X)sing teams have done.
Hershey took an advantage of this opixir-tune
iiMinlent and" Immediately the score
took an upward course. The final score
stcxxl 37-24 in llershey 's favor.

DIAKONIA BIBLE CLASS TO MEET
TONIGHT
The Dlnkonln Bible Class of the Holy
Trinity Lutheran Sunday School will meet
at the home of Mrs. Ijj Roy Spohn on W,
Granada Avenue, Thursday evening,
March 18th, at 7.30 o'clock.
L. A. Beck has just written us that he
has discovered something beside blue
gass, fast horses and pretty women entucky, in and he does not allude to
"mountain dew"; which, whether he uses it
or not, he knows has been d stilled in
Kentucky before and since the days .of
prohibition. : '•
Beck actually discovered in Frankfort
—that is the town to which they take law-less
people to prevent them from being
lynched before they can try them—a
TOASTED SANDWICH SHOP, which
derives its name from the nature of the
business it conducts,—that of placing a
Hershey five-cent Flat Cake Milk Choco-late
between two slices of bread, then
placing the sandwich in a toaster where the
outer surface of the sandwich is toasted.
The Chocolate between the slices of bread,
of course, melts. Beck states this particu-lar
shop uses approximately twenty boxes
Hershey's Milk Chocolate every week.
We know of similar sandwich shops or
lunch wagons making the same kind of
Chocolate sandwich having been operated
in Ohio. This is rather a novel stunt
which one might try in his own home, and
suggest to proprietors of places serving
meals or light lunches.

to Make Toasted
Chocolate Sandwiches
Hummelstown High
Debaters Bow to
Hershey High
On Monday evening the affirmative
debating team of the Hershey High School
registered their third consecutive victory
by defeating the negative debating team of
the Hummelstown High School by a 4 to 1
vote.
Many good points were advanced by
both teams in supporting their argument
and at no time during the debate was either
side assured of victory.
The question debated was "Resolved
that our Government Should own and
operate the coal Mines."
A very large enthusiastic audience was
in attendance, and the high school orches-tra,
composed of 16 pieces, under the
direction of Miss Marion Roth made their
first public appearance, and the hearty
applause attested to their musical tech-nique.
The negative team of the Hershey High
School will meet the affirmative team of the
Hummelstown High School March 25, at
Hummelstown.
The students representing the Hummels-town
High School were as follows: Lois
Strickler, Robert Nissley, Herman
Mariano, with Virginia Gingrich, alternate.
Hershey High School representing were:
Beulah Schaffner, Mary Hummer, Harold
Sours, with LeRoy Shenk, alternate.
Due to the fact that one of the judges
failed to appear, three persons from the
house were asked to serve in addition to
the other two judges, thus making five
judges instead of three. The decision ren-dered
was in favor of the affirmative side
which was upheld by the Hershey team.
The judges were Rev. Leatherman, of
Hummelstown; Rev. Kinports, of Her-shey,
and Rev. Yingst, of Union Deposit,
Dr. Mumma, of Hershey, and Mr. Stauffer,
of Swatara.
