              A High-Glass
Entertainment
Delbert G. Lean Proves Himself a Most
Finished Reader and Impersonator
n
HE entertainment given by Del-bert
G. Lean on Monday even-ing
was greatly appreciated
¦ 1 by the audience which greet-ed
him at the Park auditorium. As a
reader and impersonator, Prof. Lean is
without doubt among the leaders of his
profession, and he shows a, versatility
which can hardly be surpassed, He
gave a miscellaneous program every
number of which was of a high order.
The opening number Was humorons
and held the attention and interest of
the audience both of which , were main-tained
thruout the evening. "The Mid-night
Run of the Overland," a number
requiring nearly twenty-five minutes'to
render, was given in a most artistic man-ner.
Each moment was more thrilling
than the last and the reader's interpre-tation
of this story held his hearers
spellbound. The impersonation of Bill
Nye was excellent and in this the read-er
completely lost himself in the char-acter
represented.
The second part of the program was
a well chosen alternation of humor and
pathos in both of which Mr. Lean was
equally at home. He has a perfectly
controlled voice of great compass and a
splendid stage presence. The evening's
entertainment was thoroly enjoyable
and uplifting. . •

seems almost incredible that the great Hershey Chocolate plant could have been built in a little more than seven
years. The cut above shows but only the front and' only a visit in person can acquaint one of the , immensity of
i the works. The center entrance admits one into the main corridor and offices. From this point it is possible to
go to every part of the factory without emerging into the open air. Another large building similar to the one on
the left is to be seen in the rear of the picture rising above the others, Eleven hundred N men, women, boys and girls are
at work here, and nearly 150 more are employed at the Lebanon branch. . The company is using daily 90,000 pounds, of
milk in the manufacture of the milk chocolate. This will soon be increased to more than 100,000 pounds. The output is
from four to seVen car loads daily.
