GOOD STOCK COMPANY
NEXT WEEK'S SHOW
The management of the Hershey
Park Theatre expects a good stock
company here for next week's show,
of the same grade as the Perry Play-ers.
The public may rest assured
that the management endeavors to
pick winners but it is hard to do this
every time. That the best efforts
will be made to get only the very best
shows here is demonstrated by the
fact that a poor show cannot present
a second performance. It is the
thought and wish of the management
to secure the most instructive and
highly entertaining companies at all
times.
