              Rudolph Valentino in
"The Eagle" on
Saturda y Evening
Will Be Seen in Three Distinct
Guises in a Fast Moving Action
Story > Supported By Ex-ceptional
Cast
"Th e Eagle," 'in which Rudolph
Valentino will be seen at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Saturday, evenin g,
September 18th , at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock ,
will present the sta r for the first time in
the role of a Russian.
"The Eagle" is said to be a distinct
departure for Valentino in other respects
also. The story has more action and
also more comedy than any other in
which he has appeared. The star will
be seen first as a handsome Cossack
lieutenant , then later as a swift , mys-terious
, adven turous bandit , whose ex-ploits
thrill all Russia. (It is from this
that character derives the name of the
Eagle). For a while he masquerades as
a French tutor in order to enter the
home of his mortal enemy.
"The Eagle" is the first of the stories
of Alexander Pushkin , Russia 's greatest
author , to reach t he screen. The
photoplay was written by Hans Kraly,
who wrote "Passion ," "Deception ,"
"Her Sister from Paris " and man y other
notable successes .
The leadin g woman is Vilma Banky,
an Hun garian actress who was brought
to America by Samuel Goldw yn and
loaned for this- production. She is a
beautiful blonde , whose pulchritude and
charm have startled even blase Holly-wood.
Louise Dresser is featured in the role
of the amorous and middle-a ged Czarina
who tries to vamp the handsome Cossack
lieutenant , impersonated by Valentino.
James Marcus , a veteran of the sta ge
and screen , who was the J udge in "The
Iron Horse ," plays the heroine 's father
and arch-enem y to the hero.
Geor ge Nicholls, ano ther old-timer ,
who has been in pictures since the early
days , and who has recen tly been in "The
Goose Woman ," " WinrJs of Chance " and
"The Merr y Widow ", is seen as the
corru pt judge.
Albert Conti , a picturesque soldier
of fortune , formerl y a Capt ain in the
Austrian army and for .fifteen months
a prisoner in Russia , is cast as the Czar-ina
's favori te.
Carrie Clark Ward , a sta ge star for
many years , has a comedy role as the
heroine 's talkative aunt. Other well-known
players include Gust av von
Seyffertitz , Mario Carillo , Mack Swain,
Ott o Hoffman , Eric Mayne and Jea n
de Briac.
Mrs. Paul Moyer
Elected School Nurse
At a recent meetin g of the Board of
Direc tors , Mrs. Paul Moyer , of Camp-belltown,
was elected to serve as a
School Nurse.
Mrs. Moyer is a grad ua te nurse from
the Episcopal Hospital of Philadel phia ,
in the class of 1920. Since that time
she has served as a private nurse in
Philadel phia and as nurse in the Girl
Scout Cam p at Pine Grove Furnace.
Being a registered nurse in the State of
Penns ylvania , gives Mrs. Moyer another
stamp of approval for the work that she
is to do in the school.
Every mornin g each teacher makes a
surve y of the childre n in order to detect
traces of what might prove a contageous
disease—such as sores , rash , etc., and
such children are sent to the Health
Room for fur ther investigation. The
children are examined fre quently for
cleanliness abou t the body and head and
directions given to the homes.
They are also to be measured twice a
year and weighed monthly in order to
detec t under weight and give definite
instructions as to diet and rest. Alto-gether
the object of the school nurse is
to conserve th e health of the children
and through them the health of the
community.
I t is hoped that the people of the
dis trict will be read y to co-operate with
the schools in their effor ts to aid the
children crow stron g and healthy.

The Pastor
The Boy will mark the wrinkles in the

The raxor must rebel at such a task
As bumping o'er those thank-ee-mams,

Will twist his fin gers into forei gn shapes,

It hurts one's head so long at prayer
to bow .
The sun 's rays filter throu gh the colored

And light the Deacon 's face with funn y

The Pastor seems so earnest when he
talks!
Not shou ting things no one can under-stand.
His, simple faith in simple phrases
wrought ,
A quiet -gesture of a quiet hand.
A fleeting hour or two with God and
prayer ,
A glimpse of things which the dear
Christ had planned.
The pastor thumbs his text too nervous-ly.

Excelsior
I have just had the scare of my life.
As I was sitt ing in my studio in the at tic
(all au thors do their writing in the attic)
and as my pen was scrap ing alon g at a
lively clip, 1 felt a tickling sensation at
the inside of my right ankle , and as I
reached down to see what was the matter
my delicately moulded hand came in
contact with the furry coat of a too-friendly
mouse. You can bet your boots
I lost no time in chasin g him away be-cause
he had I know as his motto , "Ex-celsior
," which as all you know who
stud y Long fellow means "Hi gher. "
This incident reminded me stron gly
of the Old Home Town by Stanley some
time ago. In thi s picture the college
youth cau ght the rabbit in the leg of his
balloon trousers. I came so close to
doin g the yery same thing to the mouse
that I am shudderin g yet , althou gh the
mouse was probabl y just as frightened .

And , speaking of red and green traffic
signala every time in my experience that
I ever came to a red signal the road was
always clear for me ahead , and whenever
the signal was green for me the red

The Smokestack Hershey I s Set In the
Midst of a Fairyland
In "OurjYoung JPeople", an illustrated ,
eight-page weekly^psfper published by the
Church of the Brethren , its assistant
editor , Maud Newcomer , writes an
interesting descri ptive account of her visit
to 'Hershe y, which , in part , is as follows:
It is said that a million people visit
Hershe y every year , many of whom are
drawn by the at tractions of Hershey Park.
Small wonder it is, too, for^a more beau tiful
spot would be hard to find*.
I had heard much of Hershe y, seen a few
post cards , and so had formed somewhat of
a picture of it in my mind. But , when the
train stopped at the little station and I
with the others alighted there , I was some-what
sur prised at the panorama which
spread out before us. It was as if a west
wind had picked us up and set us down in
the midst of a fairyland. There were acres
and acres of perfectly kept lawns. Wind-ing
pathways and roadways , like white
ribbons led in all direc tions. There were
flowers , beds and beds of them of varied
designs, some statuary, too, and orna-mental
drinking fountains with cold water
sufficient to satisfy the thirst of any num-ber
of people. There were plenty of
comfortable seats strewn abou t. Trees
bordered the walks and were ar tisticall y
scattered or grouped abou t the park ,
serving both for shade and as screened
retreats for the avian choir which in the
early morning and evenin g must render
the highest grade of entertainmen t for
lovers of music. It hadn 't take long to
see that every bit of planting , building and
construction work was done for artistic
effect, as well as for comfort and con-venience.
As I walked along I was impressed with
the uniformly lar ge and attractive homes,
many of them mansions in appearance.
They are not crowded-together , either , as
are the houses in many of the eastern towns
A spacious and well-kept lawn , often
adorned with flowers and shrubber y, is a
part of each home. The avenues are wide
and well paved , bordered by rows of trees.
The main thoroughfare is Chocolate Ave-nue,
named after the product of the fac-tor
y.
The great cocoa and chocolate factor y,
of course , is the big thin g in Hershey. The
huge structure with walls almost entirely
covered with ivy does not in any way de-trac
t from the beauty of the place. It is
built lar gely of limestone. Concrete , steel
and glass were the other materials used in
its construction. It is said that the fac-tor
y consists of forty-five acres of floor
space, and judging from the size of it, as it
appears on the outside, one can readily
believe it. It is scientifically ventilated
and kept immaculatel y clean. For the
several thousand employees lar ge, airy
rest rooms are provided . There are
shower baths and othe r facilities; also an
emergency ward with a trained nurse in
at tendance.
Hershey Has All the Conveniences
Hershey is not a lar ge town. Its popu-lation
, perhaps , does not number over two
thousand five hundred , but it has appar-ently
all the convenienc es and attractions
of a lar ge city. There is a well-equipped
fire department and ambulance service.
There is also a lar ge depar tment store ,
and a first-class ban k. Restaurants , cafes,
cafeterias and a good hotel provide meals
and lodging for the visito rs or tourists who
pass that way, also employees. The Free
Public Library , consisting of several
thousand books, serves the vicinity for a
radius of several miles. There is a Y. W.
C. A. for the girls, and a Men's Club for the
men. The Hershe y Tran sit Company also
affords the people of the town the best of
street car service. The system totals
thirt y-five miles and maintains a reputa-tion
for prompt and efficient service.
Almost every kind of amusement one
could desire abounds in the park. A creek
flows tlirough it , made ideal for boati ng.
For those who like to go bathing there is
a lar ge concrete pool , with a fif ty-foot
water coaster. There are concer ts by
bands and orches tras. Flowers grow not
only outside , bu t there are three conserva -
tories . Here may lie seen many tropical
plants and rare specimens not found in that
part of the country. A zoo there is, too,
with many kinds of animals. The prairie
dogs especially inte rest the children. A
full y equipped playground attracts and
amuses the children while their mothers
enjoy a period of rest .
The grounds of th e Hershey mansion
join the factory on th e cast. Learning
that visitors are free to wander about the
premises so long as they stay on the walks
or drives and "kee p hands off" the (lowers
and plan t s, I picked up my camera one
mornin g and starte d out. I could see the
roof of the great stone mansion as it allowed
above the trees from my window . The
acres of velvety green lawn and beautiful
shrubber y attracte d me especially. At
first I felt much like an in truder , and made
my way ra ther cauti ously, but soon was
peering into all sorts of nooks and crannies ,
and often found myself almost uncon-sciously
focusing my camera . Growing in
hu ge boxes placed about on the immense
lawn are many tro pical plants , great palms
and wide-spreading ferns. There ^are all
sorts of groupings and artistical effects.
The house is a great ramblin g stone
structure ver y attractive and comfortable
lookin g from the outside. Close around it
are planted many beautiful flowers and
shrubs. Here the rhododendron flourishes
in all of its cultivated beaut y. There were
immense clusters of flowers of various
colors, lavender , flamin g pink and more
delicate shades. Some were nearl y white.
There was the laurel , too, dainty and
delicately cut.
The townspeople , jud ging from my little
sta y among them , are cordial and hospit-able.
They are thrifty. Most of them
own their own homes and keep them
immacula te.
The Hershey Industrial School
Another point of interest at Hershey is
the Hershe y Indus trial School. The fame
of this school had not spread far until
but recently when there appeared in
some of our magazines and papers a rather
detailed account of Mr. Hershey 's turning
over the greater part of his interest in the
factor y to the school. It was much talked
abou t at that time. And so while in the
town I made rather a special effort to visit
the school and learn something about it.
Perhaps this interest had been intensified
from havin g lived the last several years
near a home where children from unfortu-nate
homes are cared for , and the children
of which are often under my observation.
Anyway at rather , an earl y hour one
mornin g I drove out to the school which
is abou t a mile from the town. In the
beginning this school was planned , direc ted
and financed by Mr . Hershey. There
were a superintendent and corps of helpers
to run it , but his was the ruling hand. In
fact , it still is, but by the transfer , the
company becomes responsible for its
support and promotion.
The school ground consists of eight
hundred acres around Mr . Hershey 's early
home. The charmin g old stone house in
which Mr . Hershey was born is used as the
nucleus. It was at the back of this house
that we knocked. Mrs. Copenhaver , the
superintendent 's wife, responded and
graciously invited us in. When she learned
tha t we wanted to see through the institu-tion
she summoned a guide , one of the
boys. While waiting for him to appear we
made a number of inquiries.
Mrs . Copenhaver proved quite equal
to the occasion and very courteously and
promptl y answered all that we asked.
The dialogue proceeded something like
this :
"Is the school supported by public
funds? "
"No."
"The public would certainly be glad to
contribute to such a worthy cause. "
"But Mr. Hershey doesn 't ask it. "
"Do the boys appreciate what is being
done for them?"
"No, not until they have gone away. "
"Do the y get discontented and wish they
were some place else?"
"Yes, they do. "
"Have any of them ever run away? "
"Yes, once. We went af ter the boy, of
course , and brou ght him back. But he
was not satisfied and never amoun ted to
anythin g. So af ter a time we let him go."
'Do the y ever get unruly?"
"Yes, bu t not usually till they are fifteen
or sixteen years old. "
"Do you ever get obstreperous boys? "
"Yes, we do. "
"What do you do with them?"
"We send them back whence they
came. "
"At what ages do you take them? "
"From three to six."
"How large a. territory do you draw
from?"
"Boys of the immediate vicinity are
given preference , and then the State. There
are only a few in the institution from other
States , not more than five or six."
"What are the conditions for admission? '
"Th ey must be orphans , or boys whose
fathers are dead, dependent and sound in
body and mind. There is a possibility of
deser ted boys being admitted . The matter
is now under considera tion but nothing
definite has been decided ."
"Do the boys quarrel? "
"Not often. But when wc do discover
them fighting we usually find that the ones
who have difficul ty in getting on together
are brothers. "
At this point our guide arrived and the
conversation ceased . He was a fine ,
intelli gent looking lad of about fourteen
years , well mannered and rather quiet.
We firs t went to see the chickens , passing
through the garden and strawberry patch
on our way. Apparently everything had
the best of care. J udging from the thrifty
appearance of the things growing there ,
not a detail was overlooked. There was
even an overhead irrigation system for
supplying moisture in dry seasons. The
same thoroughness and attention to details
prevailed in the fliicken yards. Ther e
were two long rowa of small chicken houses ,
all pain ted white. Each house had its
individual yard. In these yards were
chickens of various sizes, and all white.
They looked yery pretty in the clean .well-kept
yards. In one yard was a large flock
of ducks , also white. After snapping a
picture we went back to our starting point ,
to take a look through the buildings where
the boys live and work, study and recite
their lessons.-
The first, buildin g we entered is a new
three-story brick structure. On the first
floor school is kept. There are three
rooms arran ged in a row with rolling
partitions so that they can be thrown into
one lar ge assembly, hall. Besides these
there are cloak rooms and other small
rooms needed. The second and third
floors are occupied by the boys—their
dormi tory. Here also is the reception
room and the '' dentistry. " The doors
were wide open and we could look into the
rooms as we passed down the hall. Each
room is furnished with a double decked
metal bed, a table and chairs , two very
pret ty rugs on the floor , while pictures
adorn the walls. All the rooms were
immaculately clean , cozy and attractive.
We went from the new building into an
old 'stone " buildin g with wide verandas.
This our guide told me was the first choco-late
factory. Here are the kitchen and the
dining rooms. The tables were set with
snowy covers , real table cloths , and in the
center of each table was a well arran ged
bouquet of, flowers. One might have
guessed they were preparing for some
festal occasion , but it seemed to be the
usual order of the day. In the kitchen the
cooks were busy with the meal. In the
way of equipment there seemed to be
nothing lacking and the ladies appeared
very happy at their work. Jud ging from
what we could see the boys have an abund-ance
of good wholesome food. In the
basement ol this building is the work room
for manual trainin g.
To the south and near the two buildings
just described is a long, low buildin g which
contains a sewing room, shop and dormi-tory.
Then farther to the south and a bit
to the west is the greenhouse. The old
Hershe y house, of course , belongs to this
group also. There is no dairy connected
with the school, for Mr. Hershe y has many
dairies which supply milk for the factory
and they also furnish the milk needed at
the school. If any of the boys desire
training in dairying they have the privilege
of workin g in the dairies when they leave
the school. About sixty of the older boys
are located at this place.
Having finished our round here , we, with
the guide , got into the car and drove a mile
farther east. Here is a beau tiful big stone
house where the boys between five and
eight years are cared for. There are
seventeen of them. Two middle-aged
women keep up this coUage. Here as at
the other place everything was spotless
and in perfect order as if awaiting the
inspector , or Mr. Hershe y himself. They
seemed to take great pleasure in taking us
through the house and showing us every-thing,
even the wardrobes where the
clothing is kept. The little suits are hung
on frames the same as in a clothing store
and below them the shoes are placed in a
row. All looked new and were of good
material. We were told that the clothes
of each boy are marked wit h his name.
There is also a lar ge bathroom fully
equipped even to shower baths. This old
stone house quite took our fancy, with its
large airy rooms , furnished as cozily and
homelike as one could desire.
Outside the children were playing in
their overalls—ha ppy as children usually
are. We grouped them and took their
picture. A few, however , were too busy
with their playthings to come.
The school is run on the cottage plan.
At present there are seven groups and new
grou ps are being added all the time. The
youngest group are kept at a cottage ten
miles awa y. We were eager to see the
little tots but did not care to go so far. At
one of the cottages passed there is«i fully
equipped hospital. This is for the 'use ol
the whole school. At presen t there are in
the entire institution something more than
two hundred boys.
The boys are not only fed, clothed and
lodged, but regard is paid to their health
and training as well. They are given a
common school education and are in-structed
in agriculture , horticul ture and
such mechanical trades and handicrafts or
natural or physical sciences as the mana-gers
consider their tastes and capacities
warrant to fit them for useful occupations
in life. Then when they are eighteen
years old they are given a trunk of clothes
and two hundred dollars and ar e sent out
to shift for themselves .
The school is non-sectarian , but we were
made" to unders tand that their religious
training was not neglected. They have
Sunda y-school at the school building each
Sunda y and the l>oya are all expected to
attend.
W« come back to the school proper , left
our guide , sna pped a picture of the old
Hershe y house and returned to the town ,
well satisfied with the morning 's adventure

Reader Tells Why
Our Township Roads
Are Sadly Neglected
Let "George Do It " Principle That
Prevails Is Respon sible For the
Bad Road s. Supervisors
Negligent of Their Duty
I We are in receipt of a communication
from_one of our ' Humm elstown readers ,
and we are pleased to prin t it. Mr.
Quinn hits the nail on the head when he
says "Public officials generally serve
well a watchfuh and courag eous public. "
We have no one to blame but ours elves
for our passiv e attitude. The letter
explains itself:]
Hummels town, Pa., Sept. 10, 1926.
To the Editor ,
The Hershey Press,
Hershe y, Pa..
Dear Sir:
Since my recent letter to the County
Commissioner s on the condi tion of the
roads in Derr y Township, the Super-visor
has been busy for about two days.
He has drag ged a scraper over the
ruts , hauled earth to fill up the spots washed by t he rain , but has done little ,
if an ything, to open the water-courses
by the roadsi des. The rain we have
lately had has und one some of his work.
In another lew weeks, the roads will be
as bad as ever. As one observes to how
little advantage these supervisors spend
the few days th ey give to the roads , one
wonders wiiether the roads were provid-ed
for public service , or merel y for the
profit of the supervisors, 'township
roads , all over the state , are sadly neg-lected.
Some years ago, a supervisor was
called to the cour t of a certain county
and questioned by the judge as to what
he had done with the money that had
not been expended on the roads. He
answered: "Damn if I know , if I didn 't
drink it. "
In an adjoining towns hip, a few weeks
ago, a truck struck an upstanding rock
in the road. Result: A broken axle , and
an elderl y man, seated with the driv er ,
was thrown throu gh the windshield ,
sufferin g cuts and brui ses. It is a com-mon
thing to see these upstanding rocks
in the road , but somehow the super-visors
are blind to them . A few minutes
with a sledge would remove the dan ger
but , since supervisors desire their ease,
rather than good roads , and the preven-tion
of danger to the pub lic, t he rocks
are allowed to remain as a menace to the
strange drivers of autos.
To make' supervisors attend to then -
duties, the full responsi bility for acci-den
ts caused by their car elessness should
be placed on them.
In our momen ts of cri ticism, let us
not forget that the neglect of the super-visors
to the interes ts of the people is
due to the fact that the people are care-less
themselves. The "Le t-George do
it " princi ple tha t prevails amon g the
people is responsible for the bad roads.
Public officials generally serve well a
watchful and courageou s public. Let
us all get busy then . Let us demand
bet ter roads and elect more attentive
men or try women to keep them in order.
Ver y truly yours ,
C. F. QUINN.
