Notable Series Is Recommended by
Famous Persons—Abraham Lin-coln
Leading Character.
Probably no other motion jp icture ever
has been so highly praised and favorably
discussed as Benjamin Chapiri's "The Son
of Democracy," presented by jParamount,
which will begin its run at. the Hershey
Central Theatre, on Saturday, ' March
30th. . . , | .
"The Son of Democracy"). consists of
ten two-reel dramas, each complete in
itself. One is to be presented each week.
Mr. Chapin has been working five years
on these comedy-dramas of early American
life. They are bristling with adventure,
humor and pathos and are of special in-terest
at this time in that Abraham Lin-coln,
the boy and the President, are lead-ing
characters in the thrilling tales. '
Benjamin Chapin is known as one of
the finest of motion picture directors, with
a special talent for genuine humor and
heart interest. As an impersonator of
Abraham Lincoln, - lecturer, vaudeville
actor and dramatist, his fame is nation
wide: In "The Son of Democracy,"
which he wrote, directed and produced,
he makes "Abe" a "regular boy" and em-phasizes
the truly human side of his rise
to the Presidency. In the White House
stories, Mr. Chapin shows the inside work-ings
of things, political, demonstrating
that Lincoln's problems were much the
same as those-of President Wilson. Al-ways
the plays, are good humored. .
Such persons as.Josephus Daniels, Sec-retary
of the Navy; Mrs. William Grant
Brown, president of the-New York State
Federation of Women's Clubs; Alice Neil-sen,
the grand opera star, and others of
note, recommend "The -Son of Demo-cracy,"
as an unusually fine production.
"The Son of Democracy" is» first a
splendid entertainment. It has all the
elements the best of features—first
rate of fights, gasp-bringing thrills, gen-uine
comedy, moments that bring real
tears and_,always the suspense necessary
for a successful play. Throughout the
nation it has been recommended by work-ers
for "better pictures."

The Boy Scouts of Hershey Work Like
Beavers and Bring in All Kinds of
Trinkets
' This is Treasure and Trinket week in
Hershey, and the Boy Scouts of Hershey
are running from door to door with a great
deal of vim and zest. They are doing
good work, too, and they come back laden
with all kinds and manner of trinkets.
The purpose of this campaign to get all
of the metal trinkets that were laying
around accumulating dust, as brass, silver,
gold, tin, zinc, etc. The Boy Scouts bring
this to the Hershey Men's Club, to the
metal pot in the window, and after the
termination of the campaign the trinkets
and treasure will be turned over to the
Hershey Y. W. C. A., and it will be melted
and the proceeds turned over to Aviation
Corps of the U. S. A.
Everybody should donate something to
this fund. This is an opportunity to get
rid of the dust accumulaters and help a
worthy cause. Possibly that old clock,
those old spoons or forks, or that old gold
pin that nobody wears, if melted down,
would buy a bandage, or some necessary
article for one of our "eyes of the Army."
During the week the Boy Scouts will
continue gathering the trinkets. If they
failed to come to your home, and you have
something that you wish to give, either
bring it to the Hershey Men's Club, or
phone to Jno. F. Snavely and he will send
one of the Scouts to get it.
On Saturday evening at the Hershey
Central Theatre the Boy Scouts will dis-play
all of the Trinkets that they have
gathered during the week.
Let everybody help to make this a record
week.

Week a Success
Sergeants Davies arid Nolan of the
Middletown Aviation Field Give
Entertaining Talks
The Hershey Y. W. C. A. held their
annual meeting on Thursday evening,
February 28th, and was largely attended.
After the business meeting, when the
directors for the ensuing year were elect-ed,
a very interesting program was given,
as follows:
Piano solo, by Mrs. J. Landis Zim-merman;
discussion on "Food Conserva-tion
and Substitution," by Mrs. Beahl;
vocal solo by Miss L. Beahm; speakers
from the Aviation Camp at Middletown,
Sergt. Davies and Sergt. Nolan; vocal
solo by Miss L. Beahm; piano solo by
Mrs. J. Landis Zimmerman.
The talks given by Sergts. Davies and
Nolan were highly entertaining . and in-structive.
Sergt. Davies had enlisted in
the British forces and had seen service
on both the Western front and in Mese-potania,
and it was after America entered
war that he sought a transfer to fight under
the Stars and Stripes. Sergt. Nolan has
not as yet seen any service, under fife,
but has become proficient , and hopes soon
to be f lying "over there" and showing the
Huns what he is made of, and the audi-ence
believed that he is capable of doing
good work. ,
After the program the men present were
given an opportunity of showing what a
keen sense of detection they had. Seven
brands of the various, war breads were
brought out, and the one that could name
correctly the most of the seven' brands,
would be given a prize. It happened that
Mr. Heilman was present, and of course,
the others had no show.
