Bach's Choir to Sing
During Hershey 's 20th
Anniversary Celebration
turned away.
I Tha ' other musical organisation la
Creators'a Band, whjah consta t* #f fifty '
Final preparations are being made for
the twentieth anniversary of "Hershey,
"the chocolate and cocoa town", which
will be held on Saturday and Sunda y, June
16th and 17th, 1923, in beautiful Hershey
Park , for which two celebrated musical
organizations have been engaged for the
celebration.
One of these organizations is the Bach
Choir, of Bethlehem, Pa., "which' on May
26th and 27th celebrated its eighteenth
annual festival, singing Bach 's incompar-able
"Passion of Cur Lord" according to
St. John, and "Mass In B Minor'% which
every year draws music-lovers from East
and West, from North and South , from
every State in the Union, and from coun-tries
across the sea. Each year the Choir
enters upon these festivals with a new
fervor and a new vigor that brin gs with
them new powers of inter pretation that
leaves the huge congregation tha t crowds
into the Packer Memorial Chapel and
overflows on the grass outside the con-viction
that it shares in a devotional cele-bration
of almost spiritual grandeur.
The Bach Choir will sing the "Passion
of Our Lord " and "Mass In B Minor " in
the Hershe y Convention Hall on Saturday
afternoon and evening, June 16th and
Sunda y afternoon , June 17th.
The Bach Choir is led by Dr. J . Fred
Wolle, who conducts his unique organiza-tion
with the force of his dynamic personal-ity
arid ener gy, handling the'chorus of 264
voices, the members of the orchestra ,
which are called from the ranks of the
Philadelphia Orchestra , and the four
soloists, with an ease that is truly remark-able.
Like a living name of inspiration ,
aflame with zeal, he has made the Bach
Choir what it is toda y, which every year
draws music lovers from every part of the
globe to bow before the shrine of that great
master of inspirational melody. Bach.
The Moravian Trombone Choir , con-sisting
of sixteen pieces, with their brass-tongued
instruments , will announce the
opening session at the Hershe y Conven-tion
Hall on Saturda y afternoon at 4
o'clock, playing the stately airs of the old
Moravian chorals, imbuing a spirit of
reverential worshi p which is the keynot e of
Bach's mighty works, at which time the
Choir will sing "The Passion of Our Lord" ,
accordin g to St. John.
Beginning 7 with the prologue by the
Choir , the music of 'The Passion of Our
Lord" has a certain dramatic quality that
alternates with the oratorio style, portray-ing
in var ying movement the ever-affecting
story of Christ' s betra yal, trial and death.
On Saturday evening at 8:30 o'clock the
Choir will sing Part I of "Mass in B
Minor ". Part II of this Mass will be sung
on Sunda y afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Not even the most inexperienced of
Bach devotees can fail to sense the spirit of
religious ecstacy that is spun like a golden
thread throu gh the agonized pleading of
the Kyrie, the triumphant joy of the
Gloria and the sublime peace of the Credo ,
bearing thrilling witness to the fact that
Bach was thus Inspired throu gh the sheer-power
and sublimity of his theme.
But in the music of the Mass, especially
the glory of the music, is the choruses
themselves and in the Choir as a whole.
The one voice is the commingling sound of
all the singers and the instruments support-ing,
under the dominant spirit of the leader ,
Dr. Wolle, fired arid driven as he is by the
sense of an apostolic mission.
Who that has ever heard the "Mass In B
Minor " will never forget the enormous
Impact of the men's voices in the "Sanc-tus",
and the similar dynamic effects in the
chorus, "Cum Sanctu Spiritu ". Who
could fail to feel his faith renewed , his
spirit exalted, by the assertive delivery of
the Creed. The repeated words" Cruci-fus"
brings thrills tothemost sophisticated.
The passage dealing with the Resurrection
and the Ascension are like lines of running
and leapin g fire, every note a lambent
spirit flame.
Following the glonus climax of the
"Sanctus " comes the "Ecstatic Hosanna "
of the "Benedicts " and the prevailing
peace of the "Denedictus ", -followed by
our National anthem "Star Spangled
Banner " and then the session will come to
a close.
The music lovers of Penns ylvania should
throng Hershey on J une 16th and 17th,
eager to enjoy the rare and wonderful
privilege of hearing this world-famous
Bach Choir. It must be borne in mind
that this Choir is not a commerc ial organi -
zation, and but rarely goes outside of
Bethlehem, as It would necessitate two
hundred or more singers being absent from
their employment in Bethlehem. It has
always been stressed as a notable'feature of
the Bach Choir personnel that it Is drawn
from the rank and file of those who work ,
There are , of course, some professional
people In the membership.
There will be no admission charges to
hear the Bach Choir on J une 16th and 17th.
However , reserved seats will be sold at the
nominal sum of fifty cents for each session,
Tiila is only done to assure music lovers the
certainty of securin g seats. The proceeds
from the sale of these reserved scats will be
for the benefit of Lebanon Good Samaritan ,
Harrisbur g Gener al and Polyclinic Hos-pitals
, Tickets for reserved seats can be
secured from J. B, Sollenbcrgcr, at the
Hershey Tr ust Company, Herehey, Pa„ On
and after Monday, June 4th , .either by
mall or In person. At the Bach Festivals
at Bethlehem scats sell at $12.00 and the
demand la so great that thousands are
SIGNOR GUISEPPE CREATORE
pieces, led by the peer of all bandmasters ,
Guiseppe Creatore , who, as a master
musician, gets the highest results and the
last atom of feeling and expression from
bismenand the varied instruments compos-ing
his wonderful organization.
Creatore's Band is the most brilliant
musical organization playing before the
public today. This band plays all the
principal cities and parks of America, and
also plays for the Edison Phonograph
Company.
Everyone , who has heard Creatore 's
Band will attest to the fact that it is in a
class by itself, filling an individual niche in
America 's musical, world. Wherever the
band plays Creatore proves a smashing
success, his audiences becoming so enthu-siastic
that they leap to their feet and
exclaim in loud terms their appreciation of
his wondeful band.
The perfect control gained by Creatore
over his musicians, especially in the balanc-ing
of his instrumentation is notable. The
wood, reed and brass instruments do most
effective work , the ensemble being perfect
at all times. He produces marvellous
effects—flashes of dazzling light, rich
purple shadows, masses of tremendous
harmony.
To hear Creatore s Band is worth going
miles to hear. He will give free concerts
in Hershey Park Band Shell on Saturday
afternoo n at 1:15 and Saturda y evening at
6:15. On Sunday afternoon he will give a
concert at 1:30 and at 7.-00 in the evening.
He will be assisted at each of these concerts
by Mme. Delia Samoloff, a soprano whose
voice is of much charm and purity.
On Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock
the Hershey baseball team will play the
strong Lewistown team. Both of these
teams are of near-League calibre and an
exciting game can be looked for.
On Saturday at 3:15* and 8:15 p. m. the
Ella Kramer Stock Company will play one
of the latest comedies "Th e Three Wise
Fools", which scored such a wonderful
success at New York during the past
season.
The Giant Roller Coaster will be in
operation by this time. There will be
other amusements , bathing, boating, danc-ing,
etc., etc. There is ample parking
grounds in the Park.
Everything hasSbeenJplanned to make
Hershey 's Twentieth Anniversary a splen-did
success, and you are cordially invited to
be presen t.
Hershey Baseball Team

On Decoration Day Hershe y played
Rohrerstown on the Park athletic field, and
we are sorry to say, came out at the small
end of the horn.
Swartz started the game for Hershey,
but retired at the end of. the third innin g,
with the score of 1-0 in Hershey 's favor. •
Smith, the Roanoke twirler , took his
place, and pitched a splendid game, and
with fair support should have won the
game. •
The game should have been won by the
Hershe y team , but after bungling the ball,
overthrows , misjudgmerits , and school-ball
playing, at inopportune moments, present-ed
the game to Rohrerstown.
Hershey has some real teams to play
from now on, and It will mean that to win,
the team will have to be on their toes.
Another thing the team lacks is good
coaching—with Spohn coaching on third
this is covered excellently, but the first
base coaching is in need of someone who
has some life in him and knows how to
take advantage of the breaks of the game.
Another thing, where is the "pep" on the
team when they are on the field. The
Rohrerstown bunch chatter on the field
like a lot of macaws, which helps a whole
lot, while the Hershey team, with but few
exceptions, act as though they were at a
full dress function.
. The Baseball Directors should bear in
mind that the Hershey team is a paid team
and, of course, the patrons expect more,
and should be given more.
The score was as follows.

TENTH STRAIGHT FOR HERSHEY
HIGH SCHOOL
Hershey High made it .ten straight by
defeating the Hlghsplr e nine on Tuesday
evening by the close score of 4-2. This
game pra ctically clinches the champion-ship
honors for Hershey In the Lower
Dauphin County League. The local boys
certainly made an enviable record for
themselves this season and will play the
winners of the Upper Dauphin County
League at Lykcns, June 2d for the High
School championship of the County. It
has been brought to notice that while these
boys are playing such an excellent bran d of
baseball, one thing is missing and that la
lack of uniforms. Several of the boys have
uniforms of their own while others ore
forced to play In their civilian clothing. We
feel certain that the people of Hers hey are interested in the team and are back of the boys, so why not get together and make
an effor t to supply the much heeded team
uniforms In ord er that the team may make
a neat appearance when they journey to Lykens to battle for the honors of the
County,

Hershey Park Thron ged
oo Decoration Day
Memorial Day at beautiful Hershey
Park was celebrated in the usual Hershey
way, but in a lar ger sense. Plans for this
opening and a large force of men'who had
been working for some time - past had
everything in readiness. Ever y detail had
been carefully attended to by the manage-ment.
The invitation to spend Memorial Day
at beautiful. Hershey Park had been sent
far and wide. In train , street-car , auto-mobile
and on foot they came, from far
and wide, until their numbers mounted into
the thousands. In endless procession they
came throu ghout the day. All records
were broken , and established a mark which
to meet or surpass will keep the manage-ment
hustling.
In beautiful Hershe y Park everything
was more beautiful than ever. The newly
arranged flower beds held the attention of
many thousand interested visitors who
were effuse in their admiration and praise
for the beaut y they beheld.
The concerts by Fred Promo's orchestra
were heard and enjoyed by many. /Two
concerts were given, one in the afternoon
and the other about twilight The selec-tions
were carefull y chosen and were
appreciated by the large audiences which
assembled at the lar ge band shell. '
Hershe y Park Danceland was crowded
afternoon and evening. The music by the
Banjo-Saxo Orchestra more than pleased.
The splendid artis tic decorations , the
creation of the Master Decorator Fred
Botts, was greeted with admiration and
exclaim. "Wonde rful", 'Crianning ", "Ju st
to Cute for Anything", "Never Saw Any-thing
Better Anywhere", "Original " and
"Ain 't It Grand " were some of the expres-sions
that were heard.
On the baseb all diamond Hershe y
played the strong Rohrers townte am. The
Hershey team is being whipped into shape,
and gave the Rohre rstown ball swatters
about all they wanted in order to win. The
score was 6-9 in favor of Rohre rstown, but
even so, if the Hershe yites had given
Smith the proper support , the game would
have had a differe nt endin g. The large
grandstand, bleachers and grounds were
crowded with the fans.
At the Hershe y Park Convention Hall
Julia Claussen, a soprano of the Metropoli-tan
Opera Company, and Paul Althouse, a
tenor also of the same company, and Earle
D. Laros, a pianist of note, gave a joint
recital. The musical lovers were out in
large numbers, and this musical event by
these three famous artists more than
pleased.
The Ella Kramer Stock Co. at the
theatre pleased crowded bouses in the
afternoon and evening. They played
"Adam and Eva", and everybody who
attended the performances were immensely
pleased with the produ ction. The comedy
was excellently presented , every member
of the splendid cast portra ying in a credit-able
and commendable manner their
respective parts.
The swimming pool, althou gh the air was
cool, was generous ly patronized by aquatic
enthusiasts durin g the afternoon , and by a
few of the "Polar Bears" in the morning.
Canoeing, boatin g, the miniature rail-way,
tennis, bowling, the zoo, and other
amusements vievied with each other for the
patronage of the crowds . Everywhere
one went, was a lar ge crowd indul ging their
whims and fancies, and everyone having a

Ella Kramer Stock Co.
Please Theatre Patrons
The Ella {Cramer Stock Company
opened their 1923 summer season at the
Hershey Park Theatre on Monday, playing
the comedy "Adam and Eva", before a
large and appreciative audience.
The Ella Kramer Stock Company came
to Hersh ey Park direct from Williamsport
where they concluded a most .successful
season of 42 weeks, playing only the latest
stock releases, making elaborate produc-tions
of each and every play.
The play ''Adam and Eva" is a comedy
of American house life, and it has a wealth
of brilliant lines and characters typically
human , satirizing the fads and weakness of
the smart society set in a manner that is
most amusing.
The Ella Kramer Stock Company played
this comedy in a most pleasing and highly
creditable manner. Every member of the
company are artists in every sense of the
word. We are quite sure that the patrons
of Hershey Park Theatre will consider the
Ella Kramer Stock Co., as we do, the best
stock company that has ever played in
Hershey. We are quite sure that we are
going to have some splendid treats in store
for us this coming season.
Miss Kramer her self is an artist of excep-tional
degree, and she has surrounded her-self
with members who are most capable.
Gordon Ruffin as "Adam Smith" was
splendid , as was Frederick Clayton as
"James King". All the ladies of the cast,
Genevieve Berkeley as "Corinthia "; Helen
Jackson as "Aunt Abbey Rooker"; Francis
Kase as "Julia DeWitt " were admirable.
We particularly like the work of Wesley
Barney and as "Uncle Horace Pilgrim",
he was most entertaining. We are going to
look for some splendid work from Mr.
Barney during his stay with us.
Ralph Crabtree as "Lord Andrew Gor-don"
and LeeTrace y as "Clinton DeWitt"
had the comedy roles, and they made the
most of their parts.
As the season continues and the Ella,
Kramer Stock Company become more at
home, we are sure their popularity will be
the means of crowding the Hershey Park
Theatre at each and every performance.
As Miss Kramer said in her curtain speech
"We want the people of Hershey and vi-cinity
to like us and we are going to put
forth every effort with this thought in
mind. We are going to put on the best of

Park this summer, giving fort h our very
best to please you."
The curtain rises at 7:45 o'clock prompt-ly.
Bear this in mind. Don't annoy
those who are prompt by trooping in while
the show is on. It is just as easy to be on
time as it is to be five or ten minutes late—
you not only lose part of the show, but you
also distract others and the performers.
Ella Kramer Stock Co.
to Play "Scandal "
The stor y of "Scandal" which w'll be
played by the Ella Kramer Stock Compa ny
next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, is built about an innocent visit of
Beatrix Vanderdyke to the studio of
Sutherland York , an artist of a rather
dubious reputation. Beatrix has wanted
to have a peek into Bohemia , She has
received it. But the "Town Tattler " has
had word of the affair and printed it. Then
the Beatrix' family descended on her with
both feet.
The method that Beatrix follows to
escape the result of her temperamental
indiscretion, and the price she is called
upon to pay, form the balance of this
indescribably funny comedy; a vehicle
filled with great laughter provoking situa-tions
that are dressed with the most con-sistently
brilliant dialogue imaginable.
In "Scandal" , it is a case of laugh until
your sides ache; all the time wondering how
it will be possible for the fun to keep piling
up the way it does.
This is the first time that this pro-duction
has been played at popula r
prices.
