The Hershey Press 1921-07-28

              The crowd of visitors who sat during
last Sunday afternoon listening to another
special concert by the Park Orchestra,
was quite the largest we have seen here for
a long period of time. Every available
shaded seat was occupied while many
people stood out around the circle waiting
an opportunity to locate nearer to the
band shell. They applauded vigorously
each selection on this splendid and un-usually
enjoyable program.
The feature of the program was the
Cornet Solo—"My Old Kentucky Home"
played. by Mr. Louis Colangelo. The
version is from the pen of Goldman and is
most difficult of interpretation but none
of this was apparent to the large audience.
Like the genuine artist he is, Mr. Colangelo
played the number with natural grace and
ease. He thrilled his hearers by his
masterful playing and proved himself a
cornetist of extraordinary merit and talent.
He more than earned the vociferous ap-plause
accorded by the large concourse of
music lovers, who would not permit him
to retire till he had responded with another
difficult number rendered in the same
excellent manner. "The Press" hopes we
may hear Mr. Colangelo often throughout
the remaining weeks of this summer
season.
For Sunday, July 31, the following pro-gram
will be played :
March—King Sol Rossiler
Hungarian Lustpiel Keler-Bela
Selection—The Defender Tobarii

COMMUNITY NURSE DRIVE
AUGUST 3, 4, 5: $2000 GOAL
The local Chapter of the Red Cross
Society are calling to the citizens of our
community to assist them in supporting
the community nurse and continuing her
efficient work among us. The sum needed
is not great, if all of us will contribute our
share of the amount. The drive for these
funds will be confined to three days--
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August
3, 4, and 5. The decision for each one of
us to make is not "shall we give" but
rather "what shall we give?" We are not
asked or expected to give the "widow's
mite," for by doing so we would give all
we possessed, but we should strain our
pocket books to the limit. This is not an
obligation for a few to meet, but it is a
job m which all of us must share the
privilege of assisting. Every dollar we
contribute remains in our community and
will prove a valuable investment—-for it is
invested in health.
By having a community nurse we pro-vide
a form of insurance which no com-munity
can afford to be without because:
1. She cares for the sick in the com-munity,
bringing trained skill and gentle,
deft hands to supplement your doctor's
knowledge and the family's devotion.
2. She watches over the expectant
mother and advises her in those matters
which contribute to her. comfort and
safety, and which promises "sound mind
and limb" to the little newcomer.
3. She is the guardian of all babies.
She informs the mothers of the latest
scientific principles of child care, and so
helps to save many little lives. Our
community nurse, Miss High, conducts
a baby clinic each week where the child is
examined and advised by the doctor and
weighed by the nurse. She makes nursing
visits to the babies, instructing the mother
along lines of feeding, clothing and general
care of the baby-never prescribing, but
always advising. Ignorance of proper
treatment is the biggest factor in the high
death rate of babies. "Saving a baby
costs the community little; losing a baby
costs the mother so much."
4. She is the defender of all our school
children in the community. By proper
and periodical inspection she protects
the well from the sick , and checks the
spread of contagious diseases. She also
detects any faults in physical development.
She provides for physical examination of
all heads, necks and ears before the school
term begins. She gives health talks to the
children during the school term on how
MR. LOUIS COLANGELO WILL
TEACH
In reply to many inquiries and in re-sponse
to many requests, Mr. Louis
Colangelo, has decided to take on a
limited number of musical students for
instruction and training in instrumental
work.
Mr. Colangelo, who lives in Boston ,
Mass., is spending his vacation in Hershey,
as the guest of Mr. Fred Pronio. He has
been introduced to music lovers who
patronize the Sunday Concerts in the Park
on several occasions. He ranks higher
than any musician ever heard here, is a
cornetist of supreme talent and is an artist
in every sense of the word. He is a
graduate in music of ppnmincnL schools in
his home country, Italy. He has been in
America upwards of fifteen years having
made Boston his home, where he was a
member of the famous Boston Symphony
Orchestra. During the past six years he
has been Director of the Swarthmore
College Chautauqua Orchestra , which
organization is nationally reputed as being
one of the best of its kind.
He came to Hershey primarily for rest
and quiet but. clue to the pressure of many
requests has consented to set aside a few
hours each day to teaching. Those who
wish to avail themselves of this exceptional
opportunity should gel. in touch with Mr.
Colangelo at. once at 49 Areba Ave,,
Hershey, where he will courteously wait
upon you.
to keep clean—for a clean body means a
healthy mind ; explains the proper use of
the tooth brush and the care of the teeth;
tells of the proper food for the lunch hour,
and follows up the talks with personal and
individual advice to the scholar and
parent, given in a tactful and kindly way
and at no time in conflict with the advice
of the family physician. Had such vigil-ant
inspection taken place twenty years
ago, one-third oi the young men of our
nation would not have been rejected for
military service on account of physical
defects, much of which could have been
prevented in childhood. Who among us
can answer either to your child or to your
God, if you permit your child to grow up
¦with a physical handicap which might
have been removed?
5. She organizes the boys and girls of
the community into health leagues, and
bestows upon them two priceless gift s—•
a knowledge of the laws of health and good
hygienic habits, teaching them to value
and protect their birthright, and a sound,
clean and strong body. Our community
nurse, Miss High, has already organized
among the girls from 8 to 14 years of age,
a "Little Mothers' League." This is the
simplest, most practical and easiest way
to meet the need for education in child
welfare. Before leaving school each girl
will receive instruction and will know what
the standards are to which every baby
should conform if it is to be regarded as a
normal baby, the normal growth and
development of the baby, the normal
process of infant teething; how to wash
and dress the infant; what kind of clothing
it requires, and also how to make such
clothing. She is taught to recognize the
need of sleep and quiet for the baby and
the smaller children and should know the
value of fresh air, and of clean and whole-some
milk. The girls are taught how to do
the many things around the home includ-ing
bedmaking. For the mothers of oui
community who are obliged to care for an
infant and for one or more children of pre-school
age at the same time, this Little
Mothers' League is the means of equalizing
the load and shifting the burden. In the
majority of instances the mother must do
all of the work and at a tremendous cost
to her health. Many homes are none too
cheerful because of an overworked and
broken-spirited mother, even though she
has a child who could share the lightei
tasks, but who must be told how to per-form
the work. Under such circumstances

the practical help of a "Little Mother"
becomes almost indispensable, for she has
been trained in a practical way and can
care for the little brothers and sisters.
Bedside nursing, which consists of
actual nursing care given to sick patients
in their own homes, has been carried on
during the past six months. Such care is
given to both sexes, all ages, all nationali-ties,
and in all varieties of illness. It is
arranged on the visit basis, the nurse
calling at the home to give the necessary
care daily or as oft en as needed, but not
remaining, except in emergencies.
The community nurse does not under
any circumstances supplant the doctor and
gives nursing care only under the doctor 's
orders. But she often persuades many
patients who may not realize their need
of medical attention to consult a doctor.
You may not at present be in need of a
doctor or nurse, but we must have both
of them and all of them within close touch
because of the evil day when disease and
pestilence may again swoop down upon us.
Let us all have eyes with clear vision to
see the future needs of our community.
Let us meet the Red Cross solicitors with
a smile of welcome and have our invest-ment
ready to give them. They are not
doing this for themselves alone, it is: for
you and the community as well. Do not
give grudgingly or as if by necessity, but
cheerfully, out of the bigness of our
hearts. It is for the boys and girls, yours
and ours, for the little kiddies and for
those unborn. Give them the chance we,
their elders, perhaps never had or dreamed
of.
When you are thinking about what
your contribution should be, place your-self
in the highest possible group of the
following classes:
5 Persons should contribute $100 $500
8 Persons should contribute 50 $400
10 Persons should contribute 25 $250
25 Persons should contribute 10 $250
Balance should contribute 5 or less. $600
$2000
The contribution list will not be pub-lished
but go the everlasting last limit in
giving. What say ye?
The Publicity Committee have ar-ranged
for a Four Minute discussion of the
subject by various citizens of the com-munity
at each and every performance in
the Park Theatre during the present
week.

A CARD OF THANKS
Mrs. John McKissiek desires to extend
an expression of earnest appreciation to
ouch and all who so kindly rendered
assistance during her most recen t, bereave-ment.
Patrons of the Park Theatre will be
delighted to learn that the Al. Luttringer
Players are now ready to present "Peg O'
My Heart ," the first three nights of next
week having been reserved for this purpose.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug-ust
1, 2, and 3, will the opportunity be
here afforded to witness this story, one
of the most popular that has ever been
seen on the American stage.
"Peg O' My Heart" was first produced
in Los Angeles, California, on May 26,
1912, with Laurette Taylor as "Peg,"
where it ran for 101 performances. Sub-sequently
produced at the Cort Theater,
New York City, on December 20, 1912,
with Laurette Taylor, it ran there until
May 30, 1914, making an unbroken run
of 604 performances. Miss Taylor opened
her London engagement on Saturday,
October 10, 1914, at the Comedy Theater,
from which theater she later transferred
the Comedy to the Globe Theater, and
appeared in it there until October 18,
1915. In all, the pai t of "Peg" was played
by Miss Taylor in the United States and
England for 1,099 performances.
The comedy has been performed in the
United States and in Canada 5,987 times,
eight companies at one time touring it
during the season of 1914-1915; 1,001
times in London, during which run it was
played at the Comedy, Globe, Apollo and
St. James' Theaters; 2,475 times in the
English provinces; 457 times in Australia
and New Zealand ; and 191 times in South
Africa. In Australia it holds the record
run of any comedy, having been played
at the Palace Theater, Sydney, for four-teen
consecutive weeks, totalling 112
performances.
It has also been played in India and the
Far East, and in Holland, and arrange-ments
have been made for its translation
and adaptation into French, Italian and
Spanish.
The total number of performances re-corded
to date in all parts of the world is
upwards oi 11,000.
These three nights will prove the
biggest perhaps in the history of the Park
Theatre with a record crowd at each
performance. This will be an attraction
extraordinary. Don't fail to see it.
The current offering, running Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week is
attracting the usual large and appreciative
crowds. Hypnotism and a dual personali-ty
form the basis for a gripping mystery
which holds the audience spell-bound.
The action revolves about one "Richard
Glenwood" (William Laveau) who is a
gentleman of refinement to friends and
relatives, but , away from home, is an
elusive "shadow " and leader of a gang of
thieves. Many thrills were furnished
during the action of the third act when
"Ned Kcene" (Al. Luttringer) a young
detective trails his man to the den of
thieves. This was the beginning of the
end for the "shadow. " How he was
finally unmasked and met his finish forma
one of the most dramatic conclusions to a
play that could be devised. Mr. Laveau,
Mr. Luttringer and Miss Kingsley carried
the burden of the story in their naturally
exceptionally excellent way and were well
supported by all other members of the
cast.
For the latter half of next week, is being
prepared "A Southern Rose." A story
of the South, replete with strong situations
which offer unusual opportunity for the
display of dramatic talent and artistic
power. Its a story that will grip the
heart and hold your interest throughout.
Watch next week's "Press" for further
announcement on this play.
Luttringer Co. Will
Play Next Week

WILLIAM CURTISS ENTERTAINS

who knows how to broil steak , William
Curtis entertained a number of his friends

, entirely without physical assist-ance,
mental suggestion , expert advice or
cook book , he gladly assumed the task,
and with a deftness unequalled , whereat
his guests marveled , ho prepared and
served the . most luxuriously delicious
steak imaginable. Epicurus, himself,
could he have eaten thereof , would have
declared it extraordinarily dainty, super-latively
excellent. Then , of course, there
was the many other tilings, in ample qu antities , which help to make up a
splendid dinner , so that our guests were
very happy as they partook thereof. In
the party were : Mr, and Mrs, George
Morris , Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Glace, Miss
