John Hallgren
Dies Suddenly
in Philadelphia
John Hallgren, aged 59 years, who was a
scientist, traveller, author, painter, athlete
and business man, one of our well known
citizens, died suddenly on Sunday, April
11, while on a visit in Philadelphia.
His death was due to an attack of acute
indigestion, and his many friends were
shocked to learn of the sad news of his
sudden demise. He left Hershey Sunday
morning feeling in the best of health and
spirits, and the suddenness of his death is
only another instance showing the un-certainty
of life on this earthly sphere.
Only two weeks ago he paid a memorable
tribute to Miss Katharine Hershey by com-posing
a touching poem upon her sudden
death.
Mr. Hallgren was born in Sweden in
1867. Upon finishing his public schooling
he became a druggist and botanist. He
afterwards travelled extensively, visiting
the most interesting points o( the world.
He was especially interested in the Holy
Lands, and also made an intensive study of
conditions in Egypt. He later compiled
his data in book form .which was published
in Sweden, and his articles were published
in newspapers and magazines in this coun-try.
He was also the author of a number
of poems, one of which "The Last of the
Vikings", he composed in honor of Theo-dore
Roosevelt, and for which he received
a letter from President Roosevelt, ex-pressing
his thanks.
Mr. Hallgren 'b first home in America
was made in Chester , Pennsylvania . Here
he not only gnined a host of friends for his
genial disposition, but also gained a -wide
reputation in the athletic world as a wrest-ler
and heavy lifter. He was awarded a
large number of medals and loving cups for
his ability and mastery. . .
He was at one time foreman of the
Chester Brewing Co., and also proprietor
of the Central House of Mt. Joy. Mr.
Hallgren later moved to Hurrisburg and
from there he moved to Hershey. alxnit
four years ago, where he established a
green grocery and fish market, and where
Fie gained, by his strict attention to busi-ness
and his courtesy and genial laugh , a
high standing In the hearts of his custo-mers.
He leaves a wife, two daughters and two
soils, nil of whom are living In and around
Mt. Joy. The funera l will be held on
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with
Interment In the Mt. Joy cemetery.
Wo are herewith printing several verses
penned by Mr. Grace, which apeak for
themselve^! "
In Memorlum, John Hallcran
He knew the name of every flower
That his keen eye might chance to spy,
He could recount us, hour on hour,
Adventures under foreign sky.
He traveled over all the earth.
And here at last he settled down,
To lie a tower of honest worth
Tliat added something to our town.
We wonder If our friend so kind,
Who was a friend for friendship 's sake,
Ashe left town that day, divined
How long a Journey he would make.

Alma Rubens Heads
Great Cast in "Siberia",
Next Thursda y
More than twenty-two years have
elapse! since Bartley Campbell' s sensa-tional
play, Siberia," was first produced
on the stage; therefore, to the younger
generation, at least, it is new. Victor
Schertzinger, who directed the Fox Film
version, which will be seen at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Thursday evening,
April 22d, at 7.30 o'clock, has retained all
the original melodramatic flavor, with the
added advantage of scenic realism which,
of course, was impossible on the stage.
Siberia" is a tale of Russia in the days
when Czar Nicholas was at the height of
his power. It deals with the efforts of the
downtrodden to throw off their imperial
shackles and pictures the fate of those lead-ers
who were so bold as to champion the
cause of freedom.
Beautiful Alma Rubens has the role of
Sonia, daughter of Andrei Vronsky, a
tyrannical overlord, who gave his dogs the
richest of food while, under his very nose,
poor women and children, were dying- of
starvation. Sonia was not in sympathy
with his snobbish attitude and, with her
brother Kyrill, resolved to bring about
better conditions. So she became a school
teacher, only to see her little school burned
by brutal Cossacks and herself arrested as a
revolutionary agitator.
Her brother is likewise arrested and
sentenced to Siberia where his health be-comes
undermined and he dies.
Sonia becomes involved in a perfect
maze of political intrigue but through it all
she maintains an indomitable spirit which
stirs the admiration of Leonid Petroff , a
handsome young lieutenant of the Czar's
Guard. This admiration gradually deep-ens
into love, a love that thrives in spite of
hardship, oppression and difficulties of
every conceivable sort.
The plot of the story is rather an intri-cate
affair, but so adroitly has it been
handled by Mr. Schertzinger in the filming
that it is never difficult to follow. The
role of Sonia affords Miss Rubens every
opportunity to display her ability as an
emotional actress and her exotic beauty
fits her admirably for the part. Edmund
Lowe plays Leonid Petroff , the young
lieutenant and Lou Tellegen has the role of
Egor Kaplan, a flaming revolutionist who
advocates violence to end the reign of
tyranny. Other potable names in the
cast are Tom Santschi, Paul Panzer, Hele-na
d'Algy, Lilyan Tashman, Vadim Ura-neff
and Daniel Makarenko.
The picture shows conditions in im-perialistic
Russia as they actually were,
according to those who profess to know,
and the spectator leaves the theatre glad
that he is a citizen of the United States.
One scarcely realizes that he is watching a
motion picture but, so grimly realistic is it
all that he can almost hear the sound of
the Cossacks' galloping horses' hoofs.
"Siberia" is thrilling enough to satisfy
the most jaded film patron.

Robt. Aumen was hostess to a double en-gagement

RALPH LLOYD KNOWS HOW TO
CATCH FISH
Ralph Lloyd, the 8-year-old eon of Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Lloyd, is following In the
footstep* of hli versatile father. On
Saturday Ralph wended hit way to Spring
Creek and epent the afternoon hilling. He
was more successful than hit father general-ly
Is, for he returned with 8 suckers, all of
them splendid specimens.
Eph Soper of Skunks Corner got his
winter's crop of whiskers tangled up in his
.barb wire fence and had to yell about an
hour before his wife came and cut him
loose with her shears. This happened last
Tuesday. His whiskers looked so gol
darned bad after the Missus finished with
them that he hitched up the bosses and dug
her for town for a complete shave and hair-cut.
Si Appleseed, who has prophesied
weather since he was knee high, to a grass-hopper,
says Spring is officially here.
Time, tide and trolley cars wait for no
man.
But no matter how you urge these three
just mentioned, you can't hurry them a
particle.
Hold your breath, folks. Trout season
is here. Get set to digest some wonderful
stories of extraordinary catches of the
beauties from historic Spring Creek. Be
sure to swallow whole the stories our Her-shey
fisherman will relate, and don't get a
bone in your throat as they go down.
As Old Doc Drake of Liberty Cross
Roads is so fond of saying:
Trout fishing is not all in catching
trout. It is mostly in the telling about it!"

The Column's Suggestion to Ambitious
Young Inventors: Make a luminous collar
button that can be seen when it slips from
hurrying fingers and rolls under the bureau.
Maybe the above suggestion will not be
followed? We shall not worry if it isn't
followed right away. Good things take
time. We recall that last spring we re-quested
the Pennsylvania State Legisla-ture
to pass a law requiring automobilists
with even numbered licenses to motor one
Sunday while the automobilists with odd
numbers were taking a rest, and requiring
these autoists with even numbers to rest
the following Sunday, while those with odd
numbers were driving.
Such law hasn't been passed yet, but
we are looking for it to go through at the
next session. We asked the Man with the
Wooden Leg how he would like such a law.
He allowed he wouldn 't be keen on it as it
would necessitate his buying two pair of
license plates for his car, one odd and one
even. Ach, well!
Anyone is lucky to have got in at all on.
such a preposterous adventure as life.

Enforcing Discipline
While a detachment of American ne-groes
were hiking through a small French
town, says the Argonaut , a chicken , una-ware
of the appetites of American darkies,
crossed the road in front of them. With
much zeal a soldier broke loose from the
ranks and set out in pursuit.
Halt, halt!" bellowed the officer in
charge. Both fowl and negro only ac-celerated
their races.
Halt, halt! repeated the officer.
The dusky doughboy made one plunge
and. grasping the chicken by the neck
stuffed the struggling fowl inside his shirt.
There," he panted , Ah'l learn you to
halt when the captain says halt , you dis'-

It seems but a day since, n careless kid
With buggered toes and battered lid ,
Wo barefoot rnn the winding lane
To fetch tlM? kind cows through the ruin.
It seems but a day since we.drovc the team
To town with cans of precious cream:
The village road was very long,
We shortened It with bits of song,
We go no more barefoot , a careless kid ,
Our toes In oxfords now are hid ,
We've debts to pay and deeds to do,
We're learning things we never knew.
It etema but a day ilnce the battered lid
Atop our skull no troubles hid;
Still, when the road of life seems long.
We shorten It with bits of song.

Gloria Swanson in
"Stage Struck "
Friday and Saturday
Supporting Gloria Swanson in the Para-mount
picture, Stage Struck," which will
be shown at the Hershey Central Theatre
on Friday evening, April 16th, at 7.30
o'clock and Saturday evening, April 17th,
at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock, is one of the finest,
casts ever to appear with the popular star.
Lawrence Gray, who had a prominent
role opposite Miss Swanson in "The Coast
of Folly," is leading man in Stage
Struck," an Allan Dwan production
written especially for Gloria by Frank R.
Adams • and adapted for the screen by
Sylvia La Varre.
Gloria, as Jenny Hagen, a waitress in a
one-arm lunch in a small western town,
decides she's going to become an actress
because young Gray, who also works in the
restaurant, likes actresses. One of the
famous Ohio River floating theatres comes
to town and she gets a chance to 'do her
stuff" which is terrible. There are said to
be more laughs in these scenes than in the
entire length of "Manhandled."
Ford Sterling, who started them laugh-ing
and kept them laughing by his comedy
antics in "The Trouble With Wives," is
manager of the sHow boat. This is another
great part for him.
Gertrude Astor, who recently brought
to a close a successful vamping season on
the West Coast and traveled East to sup-port
Gloria in "Stage Struck," plays the
leading woman on the floating theatre.
Miss Astor was recently seen in "Satan in
Sables" and "The Pleasure Buyers."
Carrie Scott, Marguerite Evans, Emil
Hoch and Margery Whittington complete
the line-up of leading players.

Even as a child Marion Talley felt the
desire—although, it must be conceded, in a
degree quite different than commonly is
experienced by the very young. Long
before her mother took her to John R.
Jones for admission to his First Christian
Church Choir in Kansas City, Miss Marion
(she was but ten) had expressed in every
possible manner her inherent gift for song.
She herself admits, with the gentle restraint
characteristic of her utterances, that
"something inside" her seemed struggling
for vocal expression.
Mr. Jones has stated that he discovered,
at the very outset, a spiritual impulse as
the impelling element which led this wide-eyed
child to plead so simply for a hearing
on that eventful night, some seven years
ago, just before he was preparing for a
rehearsal.
Her life ever since has been one of un-swerving
adherence to that subconscious
urging. There was at no time, prior to her
now widely-known audition in the New
York Metropolitan Opera House in 1922,
any pretentious manifestation of a striving
for a specific goal. The outstanding fact
apparent to all who knew intimately the
little Marion was fier evident devotion to a
consuming desire. To quote one who
knew her well she reflected sincerity,
simplicity and spirituality."
Nature had bestowed lavish gifts upon
this Nevada, Missouri girl. First a sopra-no
voice which since has developed into an
instrument of exquisite texture, and there-after
a rare singing talent. The tones in
their earliest stages—tiny tones—had what
experts refer to as the high position."
They issued forth with unhampered free-dom.
No less an authority than General
Manager Giiflio Gatti-Casazza , of the
Metropolitan, describes the voice as one
of the truest" he has ever heard.
There was no doubt in the mind of this
distinguished impresario, from the time he
first heard her, of her ultimate recognition
and success; and his closest associates in
the Metropolitan organization were unani-mously
of his belief.
In the light of those circumstances,
therefore, it is perhaps less surprising that
Miss Talley justified the confidence re-posed
in her at her recent debut. It is no
more than a plain statement of the facts to
pronounce the occasion and the occurences
attending it as the most extraordinary in
the opera history of this country, if not in
the world. That they are likely to be
duplicated in this generation is a remote
possibility—if indeed at any future time.
And since their recounting in the public
press was unprecedented there seems no
need for an attempt here to touch upon
even the high lights. Sufficient to state
that it was a debut of electrifying propor-tions,
which presented to the realm of
lyric song a new potentiality of the. first
magnitude; one of amazing poise and self-possession,
who conquered emphatically.
and was elevated instantly by the vast
public as a personality.
Thus does Miss Talley take her place
among the elect singled out for the special
attention and favor of the people. Her
charm has been pronounced no less appeal-ing
than her velvety soprano: her absolute
unaffectedness as unusual as in her flair for
flights of song.
The most talked-about artist in any
branch of music, she is perhaps the one in
which the public is most keenly interested.
Thus do her approaching concert appear-ances
assume a special significance, pro-viding,
as they will , an opportunity to hear
and see the youngest of prima donnas—
the American girl whose name, in its mere
announcement , is sufficient to sell out "
huge auditoriums even to the point of
turning tard y applicants for tickets dis-appointedly
away.

Hershey is a Good
Town in Which to Work
Just riding through Hershey, Penn., on
the train gives you the feeling that it is a
wonderful industrial town. You see at-tractive
business and industrial buildings,
a big auditorium for entertainments, a
large gymnasium.
You pass a big swimming pool, with
high coaster slides running down into the
water. In the winter time the slides and
pool are used for sleds.
Everywhere are evidences that Hershey
employees have good times and every
facility for healthy recreation. You find
yourself thinking: "Here's a town where L
