The Hershey Press 1921-06-02

              A great throng of people coming from
far and near enjoyed Memorial Day at
Hershey Park. In an endless procession,
seemingly, throughout the day came this
caravan of good people, seeking here amid
an environment than can hardly be
equaled, relief from the prosaic round of
life. Hershey Park was a Mecca to these
thousands. Here they could forget daily
strife and care and in wholesome amuse-ments
and proper atmosphere, were they
rejuvenated, made happy, re-encouraged
and re-inspired.
And Hershey Park exceeded its reputa-tion
from every viewpoint. Everything
was better, cleaner and prettier than ever.
The newly arranged flower beds held the
attention of many thousand interested
visitors who were effuse in their admiration
for the beauty and glory they here beheld.
The mammoth dance floor was crowded
afternoon and evening. Here was found
a happy, laughing throng, each . person
bubbling over with the spirit of the
occasion and exuberant in the merry
abandonment of youth. No cares or
sorrows, no responsibilities or business
worries, were known here. The music by
the Ban jo-Saxo "orchestra filled everyone
with an overwhelming desire to dance and
they blithesomely tripped the "light
fantastic," whether it was fox-trot, one-step
or waltz.
The baseball game was well patronized .
Here the Lebanon Steel team and Hershey
battled through nine innings of first class
ball while the cheers of the crowds echoed
and re-echoed across the hills. The
theatre was crowded afternoon and even-ing,
where one of the best movie show of
the season was shown. Thj swimming
pool was generously patronized by aquatic
enthusiasts during the afternoon. On
this beautifully warm day the large pool
of water, clear as crystal and exceedingly
refreshing, was enticingly inviting and
many fell victims thereto.
Canoeing, boating, the miniature rail-way,
bowling alleys, skee ball, and other
amusements, vied with each other for the
patronage of the crowds. Every where
one went was found a large crowd indulg-ing
their whims and desires according to
their own peculiar fancy. Every where
one went could be se* • sparkling eyes,
laughing lips, contented minds and happy
hearts and the welkin fairl y rang with the
mingled laughter , the glad shouts and
happy voices of the throng.
The concerts by the Perseverance Band,
of Lebanon, were heard and enjoyed by
many. Two concerts were given during
the day. The selections used were care-fully
chosen and were appreciated by the
vast audiences which assembled at the
large band shell.
Hershey Park is surely more popular
than ever and the indications are that it
will continue to expand in the good favor
of its extensive patronage. By proper
management it has gained this patronage
and by the same means will hold it. There
is always a hearty welcome awaiting you
at Hershey Park. Come whenever you
find it possible to do so and enjoy life ,
minus cares and responsibilities. Here
will you find each minute detail blending
into the scheme of creating harmony,
contentment , beauty and purity in en-vironment.
No task is left undone to
accomplish this purpose. You 'll enjoy
Hershey Park a little bit better with each
succeeding visit. Hershey Park warmly
invites you.

Commencement exercises, of Derry
Township High School, closing the 1921
term, were held on Thursday evening,
May 26, in the Park theatre. It marked
the successful completion of another
chapter in the annals of the local high
school. It signified the rapid educational
strides which are obtained in this district
and forcefully served to prove the practical
logic of a consolidated school district in
which the small old fashioned country
schools are merged into one large unit.
We cannot believe that this splendid
class of 1921, composed of ten girls and
nine boys, would have advanced so far in
their yearning for education were it not
for the exceptional advantages embodied
in this consolidated school idea. In any
other community, in the entire United
States, whose population equals or doubles
that of our own progressive community
and under any other school system, they
could hardly have enjoyed the same ad-vantages
which they here enjoyed. The
educational advantages which are here
offered to the boys and girls of this district
are indeed exceptional and every parent
should recognize this fact by lending a
fuller cooperation , a truer sympathy, in
the work of the directors and teachers who
are directing educational affairs here.
Every boy and girl should be afforded the
opportunity of continuing in school until
the course is successfully completed.
Parents owe this to their children and in
view of the extraordinary advantages here
offered, should . be exceptionally careful
to permit the boys and girls to finish the
course.

W. G. MORRETT BURIED SATUR-DAY
Manager Heilman is pleased to an-nounce
that the Luttringer Stock Co.f is
coming to Hershey for an extended en-gagement
commencing Monday, June 20.
This organization has the splendid record
of having played an entire year in New
Bedford , Mass.,' forty weeks in Lewistown,
Me., twenty-five weeks in Augusta, Me.,
and forty weeks in Quincy, Mass.
Mr. Al. Luttringer, who incidentally is
the star and director, as well as the owner
of the company, is rated as one of the most
astute show men in the entire profession.
The staging that Mr. Luttringer gives to
his productions is worthy of Broadway in
all instances. To him belongs the faculty
of knowing what will best meet with the
approval of the people, no matter where
located and accordingly gives to them the
shows they will like best.
An outstanding feature of the Lutt-ringer
Company is that its repertoire is
at all times free from the objectionable
and the offensive and that it caters to
nothing that smacks of the suggestive.
On the other hand there is a wholesome,
happy spirit about all of his pieces that
can in itself account for the phenominal
popularity and success he has enjoyed in
other cities.
Miss Ann Kingsley will be the leading
lady. A number of New York successes,
which will afford a splendid opportunity
to Miss Kingsley to display her versa-tility,
will be produced. The Boston Post,
New England's leading daily, gave to
Miss Kingsley an unsolicited two column
writeup, highly commending her work and
classing her as the most popular New
England Leading Woman.
An excellent supporting Company, the
same that supported Mr. Luttringer
during his triumphant tour of the New
England states, will be brought to Her-shey.
Two car loads of scenery has also
arrived, which will afford to patrons of
the Park Theatre, the best scenic pro-ductions
they have ever witnessed.
The Luttringer Company, throughout
the New England States, is noted par-ticularly
for its refinemen t as regards
players and plays. This company stands
squarely for the idea that the stage should
elevate and they work with Mr. Luttringer
harmoniously to that end. Patrons here
may be assured that every play produced
will be clean, moral and wholesome.
Watch for forthcoming announcements
as the opening date draws near.

The Fire Truck Fund has now almost
reached the $4000.00 mark which leaves
more than half of the journey to cover.
There are still some solicitors who have
not completed their task so that all contri-butions
have not yet been reported. The
committee desires to urge these negligent
solicitors to continue the work without
further delay so that they may as early
as possible know what the results of this
drive shall be. The grand total should
reach closely to $5000.00.. If there are
any who would like to increase their con-tribution

glad to receive any additions. This week's
