"The Gypsy Rover " is in three acts and
is built around the character of Rob, later

nobility. Rob is stolen when an infant , by
his nurse, Meg, who later becomes the wife
of Mar to, a gypsy. Rob grows to man-hood
amongst the gypsies believing Meg

Martendale becomes lost in the
woods. They wander to the gypsy camp

tell Sir Geor ge, who later come!) in search
of Constance, that Rob is a charmin g
fellow. , In act two Rob goes to the home
of Constance and serenades her. They
plan to elope but are overheard by Craven
who Inform s Sir George, and . plans are
made to capture Rob. This is successfully
accomplished and Rob is thrown into
prison, but later escapes.
Two years elapse and Rob has come into
his estates, his Identity having been proven
by Meg. He become*, a successful com-poser,
a friend of the Prince , and a social
Hon. Constance has remained true to her
love for Rob and on his return to England ,
hewpos and winb her for hiawife , As Rob
says, "The good fairies have led me to the
beautiful country after nil, and our story,
Constance , can end In the proper way,"
and they lived happily ever after.
Ther are also pretty love affairs between
Nina and Capt. 'Jerome, and Zara and
Sinfo, and many comedy scenes by Sinfo
•nd Mar to.
Hershey Choc. Co. Pays
Compensation Checks
On Thursda y of last week rumors began
to come thick and fast pertaining to the
additional compensa tion for the first
quarter of 1923, and on Frida y afternoon
the rumors became facts, for the checks
were paid to the employees. And the
checks were larger than our fondest expec-tations,
being 26 and 7-10 per cent, on
wages earned durin g the month s of Ja n-uary,
February and March.
To_ each check was a letter from Mr.
Wm. F. R. Murrie , the President of the
Compan y, as follows:
"This check represents the additio nal
compensation for the first quarter of
1923, as set "forth in our circular letter of
Ja nuary 1st, 1923.
"We wish to eirpress to our employees
our keenest appreciation for the spirit of
co-operation that has been manifested
during the period just ended.
"Whether , the amount of additional
compensation for the next quarter will be
less or greater is to a considerable degree
dependent upon the energy and thought
put into your work , and the care and
super vision exercised over materials and
machiner y entrusted to you. Try to keep
in mind every day the thought that this
plan of extra compensation can be made
even more successful."
The payments were made only to those
employed in the usual and regular opera-tions
of the Company and its constituent
Companies. Payments are made quarter-ly,
as earl y as can be made the end of each
quarterly period of the year who were in
its employ on the first day thereof and who
were continuousl y in its employ during the
whole of the quarterly period. The
quarterly periods are the months of J an-uary,
Februar y and March; April , May
and June ; J uly, August and September ;
October , November and December.
This plan is in effect for the calender year
nineteen hundred and twenty-three (1923)
only, is experimental to determine a work-able
plan, which may be continued in the
present form or in some modification there-of,
by which the interest of the officers and
employees of the Company wJl be stimu-lated
in the successful and economical
operations of the business in all its branch-es
and details to the advantage of them-selves
and the Company.
As profit-sharers , the Hershey Chocolate
Company has placed part of the responsi-bility
upon every employee. It is up to
every individual to assume the responsi-bility
and to do his or her work more effec-tively
and more economically.
It is up to us to decrease and ultimatel y
eliminate waste and other losses that tend
to decrease the earnings and pr ofits of the
Company, and lessen the funds in which
we are to participate. Each will be bene-fitted
in proportion to the individual and
co-operative efforts put forth.
One real test of a man is whether he can
stand prosperity or not. Our profit-sharin
g plan is puttin g many of us to this
test right now. Those who possess suffi-cient
self-control to live well within their
income and to place their profits where
they will be safe, are among the few who
are on the road to lasting independence
and success. Now is the time to remem-ber
that good, sound, old adage: Any fool
can spend money. But it takes a wise
man to save it.
An Appeal to the
Women of Hershey
The women of Hershey who are interest-ed
in continuing the kindergarten in Her-shey
next season are requested to meet at
the Kinder garten room, in Hershey
Central Theatr e, on Tuesday afternoon,
May 1st, at 3 o'clock.
A kinder garten aims to develop the
child's initiative and efficiency through
training in self-activity, by means of
playthings , games, manual work and
stories. The term was originally applied
by Freldrich Froebel to a play school
established by him in Blankenburg,
German y In 1837.
Fr oebel'a system la based on a metaphor
that the school is a garden in which the
children are the plants. The teacher is a
benevolent superintendent , who studi es
child nature , and contents himself with
aiding that nature to develop Itself.
Games and stories form an important
part of the system. Their main purpose is
to encoura ge self-expression.
The result s achieved by the sympathetic
application of the kindergarten , even under
unfavor able conditions, have led to Its
acceptance in the educational theory of
practically all civilized countries.
We appeal to the women of Hershey to
lend their hearty support to the contin-uance
of the Hershey Kindergarten , and we
hope, that a large number will be present on
Tuesday afternoon with this object' in
mind.

ON THURSDAY EVENING
See "A Dangerous
Adventure ' Saturda y
An African jungle picture, A Dangerous
Adventure ," featuring Grace Darmond,
will be shown at the Hershey Central
Theatre on Saturday evening, April 28th.
It is hailed as a monumental thriller , and is
said to be the most weird, strange and
sensational feature of its kind ever pro-duced.
Thousands of uncivilized nat ives reveal-ing
their fantastic ceremonies and savage
dances, and thousands of wild animals in
the vast forest stretches play prominent
parts in the film. The story is declared to
be full of realism and intensely dramatic
situations.
Grace Darmond , known to thousands of
motion picture enthusiasts as both a serial
and feature screen player , narrowly es-caped
death in order that the camera
might record a daring hazardous incident.
Deep into the jungle went the company of
players, and as a terrific storm broke loose
Miss Darmond found herself on the
howdah of a temperamental elephant.
Tusko, a female elephant said to be the
largest in the world , suddenly bucked and
stampeded. Miss Darmond was cata-pulted
into the air and only her quick
presence of mind saved her from landing on
her head. She turned a somersault in
mid-air and sustained a number of injuries
The spectator is introduced to an out-post
village on the border of the African
jungle. Here a half caste Malay known as
Numa, The Lion, rules over thousands of
natives. To the Malay Chieftain comes a
party seeking a caravan to make a myste-rious
mission into the heart of the jungle.
The Chieftain furnishes the caravan to
Brandon , an American guide, on condition
that he return beautiful Marjorie Stanley
to him in addition to a share of the spoils.
A storm overtakes the caravan moving
into the jungle. The natives flee in terror.
The bucking elephant , carr ying Marjorie ,
her sister and. her uncle, stampedes and
tears through the jungle. The incidents
that follow come fast and furious , and the
spectator is even furnished with views of a
realistic earth quake, never before fumed
for a motion picture.
Benefit Picture for
Hershey Baseball Club
(This film is donated by the manage-ment
of the Hershe y Central Theatre for
the benefit of the Hershey Baseball Club).
More than one record was broken in the
photoplay "Back Home and Broke,"
which George Ade wrote for Thomas
Meighan , and which comes to the Hershey
Central Theatre on Wednesday evening,
May 2d, with two showings, at 6:30 and
8:30 o'clock. The picture is said to have
more laughs to the reel than any film ever
made by Paramount. It also has more
well known small town characters crammed
into it in true Ade style than most pictures
of a more or less rural type.
And it has a banquet , not the Broadway
variety with profession al dancers and
cigarette-smokin g women, but a small
town ban quet to celebrate the hero 's
homecoming to Bradford. Tom Redding ,
havin g proved himself a success in spite of
the gloomy predictions of his townsmen ,
has invited all his friends and enemies to a
feast , so that he may repay each accordin g
to his deserts. The assembla ge includes
the newly appointed Chief of Police, the
town banker , the leading merchant , the
friendly newsboy, the editor of the paper ,
the unofficial news gatherer , Aggie Twad-dle,
the fickle sweetheart and her new
"crush," the factory foreman , and Tom's
faithful sweetheart Mar y Thorne.
His guests are comfortable or uneasy
accordin g to their tre atment of Tom before
he became a millionaire, but when the food
is served by the colored waiters brou ght in
for the occasion, all apprehension is for-gotten
in the pleasure of eating and having
a wholesome, small town good time.
Picture partons who saw "Our Leading
Citizen," Mr. Ade's first Meighan picture ,
will be Int erested in the forthcoming
production. Lila Lee who is recognized as
one ol the best leadin g women, plays
opposite Mr. Meighan. The cast generally
is excellent, and Includes Frederick Burton ,
Cyril Ring, Charle s Abbe, Florence Dixon,
Gertrude Qulnlan, Richard Carl yle, Maud e
Turner Gordon and other capable players.

Hershey Baseball Team
Strong Aggregation
Hershe y is.gouSg to be represented on
the baseball diamond this year with a fast ,
hard-hitti ng and winning team. A large
number of candidates reported on Satur-day
afternoon to Manager Bonn, with
each man full of enthusiasm and pep.
The team is assured of Smith, who
will , play third, . We all know . what
"Smithy " can do, and we are glad indeed to
know that, he will be holding down third
bag this season.
Bonn, the manager , will play first base.
Bonn comes to Hershey as a player above
the average , and here's hoping he knocks
the hide off .of the pill every time that he
comes to the bat—even tho they do cost
several dollars per.
Killinger will be behind the bat—and he
is a good one. .
John Zimmerma n will heave the pill.
John has all. the earmarks of a comer. He
handles himself like a big leaguer , and he
knows how to put them over the edge of
the plate for a strike.
The mana gement is endeavoring to
sign up this week with a pitcher who was on
the mound, for one of the leading teams in
the Intern ational League last season. We
have every reason to believe that he will be
weaning Hershey this year.
Albert , with .his big bat , will be on the
team , as will Swartz and Daniels. Rich-ards,
the star of the Lebanon Valley team,
will also be on the Hershey squad.
This is a starter and it looks good to us.
.However, all the efforts of Manager
Bonn, and the Directors of the Hershey
Baseball Club, will be futile unless the
community is willing to support a town
team. Surely, we all want to see baseball
reinstated in Hershey. We want to see a
team out there on the diamond putting
Hershey on the baseball map. Its the
great national pastime which we all enjoy,
and we believe Hershe y will be able to
enjoy it better this "year than ever—for
with a winning team in the field why
shouldn 't we?
A series of eight games has been arranged
with Palmyra , and we all know from past
experience that we'll get a run for our
money when these two teams are on the
diamond. Other series are in prospect ,
and it looks like a mighty successful base-ball
season for Hershey.
Let us all get on our Boosters togs and
get back of the team. The Carnival that
was held was fairly successful , and it made
possible having several hundred dollars in
the treasury to begin the season.
On Wednesday evening, May 2d, the
Directors have arran ged to put on one of
the latest reels, showing Thomas Meighan
in "Back Home and Broke. " Ther e will
be two showings on that evening. Tickets ,
30 cents, which are now on sale. Ever
person in town , man, woman, boy and
girl , -should buy a ticket . Let's pack
Hershey Central Theatre at both shows
next Wednesday evening.
American Legion Asks
for Contributions
Hershey Post No. 386 of the American
Legion held their regular business meeting
in Post Headquarters Tuesday evening,
April 24th.
Dr. J. W. Bailey of the Deny Presby-terian
Church attended the meeting by
special request and addressed the Post on
"How the American Legion can best
serve the. Community. " Dr. Bailey gave
a very intere sting and 'forceful addres s and
it is believed that all members who heard
him have a better Idea of Community Co-operation.
On motion the Post agreed to co-operate
with the local branch of the Red Cross in
renderin g aid to a local disabled ex-service
man.
The Post decided to hold a poppy sale

deriv ed from this sale w|ll be used to
create a special fund which will be used to
help local disabled ex-service men. Fur ther
announcements on the poppy sale will be
made at an early date.
It was brought to the attention of the
Post by an Italian member th at there are
a number of local foreigners who would
like to learn to read and write the English
language. They have requested the
Legion to start an evening school.
The American Legion is raising a fund of
$100,000.00 which is called the Gr aves
Endowment Fund. This fund will be
Invested in perpetuity and the income
used annuall y to provide decora tions for
the graves of 32,000 American soldiers and
sailors whose bodies will forever lie in
American cemeteries overseas ; While this
is primarily a Legion affair the Legion
realizes there arc quite a few people out-side
of the Legion who really want to con-centrate
to this worth y fund: The Legion
Weekly publishes a list each week of all
contributors who have given a dollar or
more, This fund must be raised by May
30. Contributions from the commun ity
of Hershe y will be appreciated by Hershey

Tom Mix Revives
Golden Days of Roman ce
Is romance lost to the world? Are the"
days of long ago, those mellow days, when
they danced by moonlight and sighed:and
fell in love, gone forever? Does no one*
think of the spirited , flourishing period
described in Walt er Scott's' "Ivari hoe, "
and in the tales of King Arthur? >j "i "
The time of chivalry is past; the golden
age of brave knights .and fair ladies belongs
to another epoch; the lance and shield , the
breastplate and coats of mail now adorrt
renowned halls only as decorations;
heraldry is no more; crests are almost
forgotten; the splendor of cour tly graces,
the lace and furbelows , the courtly mien,
are remembered as one remembers a dreamt
However , despite the materialistic tr end of
the day there are many wo still revel in
these narratives of olden days : and for the
edification of these, no less than for their
more staid brethren , William Fox has
produced a new picture , "Romance Land ,"
which is described in advanced reports as a
highly entertaining film , replete with
comedy and . thrills. "Romance Land ,"
starring Tom Mix , tells of the adventures
that befell a youth and a maid whose heads
are turned by a too literal reading of the
deeds of the Scotch bard 's heroes , and
become imbued with a spirit of emulation:
The film, it is said, has a romantic style
that is extremely refreshing, an exciting
climax that is keenly stirring and a clever
comic trend that is pleasantly amusing.
Romance Land " is said to be among the
finest efforts of Tom Mix, and if we are to
judge from those phot oplays that have
been shown here , featuring the Fox star;
the people of Hershey will be treated to an
unusually good entertainment when the
screen production is shown at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Thursday, April 26th,
(tonight), at 7:30 o'clock.
Hershey Dept. Store ;
