              Hendrickson and Rosani
Give Pleasing Entertainment
Extreme Cold Weather Keeps Many Away,
But Audience Was Well Pleased
0JBOLTT 75 people braved the
high wind and bitter cold on
Tuesday evening and were in
1 ¦' attendance at the third num-ber
of the Y. M. C. A. Star? Course
which was given by Hendrickson,~ the
magician, and Rosani^ the juggler.
On account of the high wind and
the extreme cold, it was found out
shortly after noon on Tuesday, that it
was going to be impossibe to get : the
amphitheater warm enough to warrant
taking the entertainment to that build-ing.
The old gymnasium in the park
being the only other available room
where: the entertainment could , be
taken, arrangements were at once made
to hold it there.". .
The two gentlemen who were to
give the performance arrived on the
4.16 train, and at once stated that
they could give the entertainment if
there were not more than two people
in the audience. In his characteristic
way, however, Mr.. Rosani put in,
"The more, the merrier.".
The entertainment which began
about 8.15; .. was. divided into four
parts. Mr. Hendrickson opened with, a
number of sleight of hand perform-ances,
followed by Mr. ;Rosani.in sev-eral
juggling, tricks. Again each of
the men had one of the parts of the
program. In his second appearance
Mr. Rosani introduced shadbwgraphy,
forming with his hands, a large num-ber
of shadows clearly representing
different animals and characters. Mr.
Rosani, in his second part, very effec-tively
and much to the amusement of
the audience, impersonated 25 different
/characters. In this, performance the
rim of '.-an old 'black felt hki\ ;was the
only thing that he used in his make up.
As he repeatedly said himself, his face
and bald head helped.
a flat floor instead of on a raised plat-form.
The tricks that were perform-ed
showed the best of skill and cool
and steady nerve. Should it be possi-ble
to secure these entertainers for an-other
date, we feel sure that they
would draw a large crowd.
_ The fourth number on the course
will be given on February 8. The ate
traction will be the Banner Ladies'
Quartet.

Throughout', thes entertainment was
one that pleased the audience, in spite
of the fact that the performers were
working at a disadvantage in being on
" IVERYBODY needs money for
; Christmas".- ' Many people have
trouble in providingi a suffl-
¦—.—J cient amount to buy-all the
presents-needed- when the: timemonies.
The Hershey Trust Compony. offers an
easy plan to meet such a contingency.
On Monday, January 15, it will start a
Christmas Saving Club.; Members will
pay in a small- amount each -week for
fifty- weeks and at the end of that time
will receive checks for the total amounts
they-have; paid-in plus an additional 3
per cent/ interest. The plan is simple
and systematic. There will be different
classes of members. For instance, one
class will start in by paying one cent
the first week, two- cents the second
week; three cents the third • week* and
so on for-fifty weeks, the last week's
payment amounting- to -fifty : ' cents.
Members in this class will receive checks
two weeks before Christmas'for ?12^75,
with interest,- or they may reverse the
order of payments-by paying fifty- cents
the-first Week and paying one cent: less
each succeeding week, whicb brings the
last-week's-payment down, to one cent.
There will also be classes starting with
two cents and five cents. Payments
must" be made promptly every- week or
in advance for as- many weeks as may
be convenient.
It • will not only • prove beneficial to
grown people, but Will prove very pop-ular
with young people. It is very sim-ple
and the details are easily understood
when explained.- Everybody is-welcome
to join and the Hershey Trust C&mpany
will be. pleased to have those interested
call and learn all about-it.
Those desiring to become-members
can join after January 15th.
The number of weeks intervening be-tween
December, 26, 3911, and date of
opening the account will have to be
taken up, in order to complete the 50
weeks by December 11, 1912.

it was started^again and had been
burning about two hours when the: ex-plosion
occurred. The lids of the stove
were thrown through the ceiling of the
room and the whole stove was broken
into fragments. A small fire was start-ed
from the hot coals, but it was soon
put out. Mr. Harry Keiffer was called
and plugged the wa,ter pipes. :

caused by the bursting of the water
pipe between the fire box and thelcibiler.
The; waterJn the pipe had frozen during
the night and when the fire was started
