•;„¦' The Hershey Noon-Hour Uplift Club
meets at the Hershey Men's Club every
day from 12:30 to 1:00 o'clock. Its mem-bership
is as follows: President, Joe Clark;
Secretary, Paul Brewer; Board of Directors
George Gingrich; Shorty Zulick and
Bright Sparigler. Topics of the day are
discussed, viz., whether the short skirt will
be; stylish again; whether the short skirt
was reallyappreciated'by the men; whether
the short skirt affected the eyesight of the
men; whether the American women should
smoke; whether 'a«man should be able to
haye a drink when he wants one; whether
there are too many churches; whether there
are! too many automobiles; whether the
radio will supplant the telephone and tele-graph;'
whether there are too many public
holidays;; whether all the honest men are
in the Republican Party, and all the crooks
in the Democratic Party; whether there is
much difference between,the best of us and
the worst of us—all of these subjects, yes
and many others, are freely and warmly
discussed, and the air at times is laden with
logic and oratory. There is no unity of
thought, excepting on one, which all mem-bers
of the Uplift Club seem to agree,
which is, that each one of us has in his blood
a dash of genius, a touch of the devil, and a
large injection of stupidity. The next

. Faith is a tremendous factor in promot-ing
the success of men in all walks of life,
atfprdihg to Thomas MeigHan, star in '.'If
You Believe It, It's So," his new picture
which will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral
Theatre on Thursday evening (Thanks
giving) at 7:30 o'clock.; His, theory, is. that
if you believe'a thing firmljvit must be so.
We:;beUeved:in this'story from the very
start," said. Mr.iMeighan; "There's nbth-
'irig .like, confidence in a thing, to make it
come out right.' If you believe a thing
firmly enough it'will very likely be aifact
before you're through beUevmgin it arid in
away that's tiie theme of the picture. After
SI, the big- things that take place in' the
world have, a-.mental .origin and, because
somebody believed in them sufficiently,
they were realized. If somebody hadn't
believed that motion pictures were a possi-bility,
there.wouldn't be any such thing.
Things don't happen—they're developed
through consistent effort based on convic-tioni
Every great discovery affd every
great world movement comes about in just
this way. ¦ :,
"So I feel that I am willing to bank on
my statement that this picture will be.one
of the best in which I have ever appeared.
Paramount believes in it, and to prove it
gave me a supporting cast that couldn't be
beaten: Just consider the list. Pauline
Stark is leading woman; Joseph Dowling
was The Miracle Man' in the picture
which proved enormously popular; Theo-dore
Roberts, one of the greatest actors in
the professionr Charles Ogle, another fine
character actor; Charles French, Tom
Kennedy, E. J. Brady and Lura Anson,
where could you find a finer line-up? Tom
Fonrian directed the picture, discussed it
with me over arid over again. We devel-oped
every point to its last possible degree.
And we can't see where there's a loophole
for doubt."
"The Dictator "
on Saturday
The internal disturbances of certain
romantic and ebullient South American
republics, which have for years furnished
the American press and humorous writers
with material for exciting dispatches or
clever, humorous discussions, were placed
in the hall of fame by the plays of the late
Richard Harding Davis, who was virtually
their literary spokesman.
"The Dictator," which comes to the
Hershey Central Theatre on Saturday
evening, December 3rd, at 7:45 o'clock, as
a Paramount offering with Wallace Reid
in the star role, is one of this type by this
authpr. It is the play which Willie Collier
made famous on the stage and one in which
Mr, Davis paints an exciting picture of
volcanic life in the Latin-American con-tinent.
Walter Woods, an experienced scenarist,
translated the play to screen terms, which
meant' modifying it somewhat, bringing
certain incidents down to date and gener-ally
applying the modern brush to the
canvas, which is, however, still fresh and
alluring.
Lila Lee, leading woman, has the role of
Juariita, dainty daughter of Dr. Rivas, a
self-styled "liberator," played by Theodore
Kosloff. Mr. Reid, as Brooke Travers,
falls in love with her and then the trouble
begins. From Los Angeles the scene shifts
to a tiny Latin-American republic where a
bitter war between rebels and regulars is
waged. James Cruze, a veteran Para-mount
director, handled the megaphone.
"Just Tony"
on Tuesda y
Tom Mix, the popular star of the Fox
constellation, was once named by a news-paper
critic "the movie hero who never
made a failure," and, ever since, Tom's one
ambition has been to live up to the cri-terion
which the newspaper writer had set
for him.
That he has been able to achieve this
goal is attested by the vast following of
fans who acclaim him the greatest screen
hero of his type. That Tom deserves the
praise he has received is easily demonstra-ted
by his work in the latest William Fox
production, "Just Tony," which comes to
the Hershey Central Theatre on Tuesday
evening, December 6th, at 7:30 o'clock.
"Just Tony" also features Mix's noted
horse,. "Tony," arid was written by Max
Brand as a novel under the original title of
"Alcatrax," In this photoplay of romance
and f riendship and western valor, Tom
again rides the edges of a pantomlhlc hell,
shoots with the accuracy of supernatural
aim,,and fights for the love of a beautiful
woman In such fashion As to thrill the most
blase of plfitureigoerB, . , , . . . N That Tom Is, assured of success, in his
new venture )b certain. Pictures like, "Just
Tony" will not make the stariall short of
his. "never made aifailure*,' slogan. And
once again ho clinched , his reputation as a
versatile star with the brahjl neyv role he
plays—a role that beside being pleasing
and refreshing, la a most difficult one to
enact.

Musical Event of
the Season
The vested choir of Grace .Evangelical
Lutheran Church, Lancaster,' will, render
an Advent Recital in JHoly Trinity Luth-eran
Church, Hershey, on Thursday eve-ning,
December 7thi at 7:30 o'clock. This
is without question the musical event of
the winter for our town;; '
The choir which is composed pf 45 vofces
the members having with few" exceptions
been singing together for a t number of
years, has acquired a reputation which
places it among the best. . The ennuncia-tiori
and expression, .coupled with excellent
voices, will clearly demonstrate when once
heard why and how, they have carried tljis
reputation.
The programme selected is ;an appro-priate
one for the Advent season, one filled
with great beauty and easily understood.
The contralto soloist, Mrs. Chas. Koch,
has selected one of John Prindle Scott's
best numbers and will give her the oppor-tunity
of displaying her big, round, sweet
contralto voice at its. best. And the tenor,
Mr. Ray Hall! His is the real, natural
tenor voice, not one made by vocal teach-ing
and tricks; but one born with the man;
Much is praise could' be said about the
sweetness and beauty of his voice and sing-ing,
but seeing and hearing is believing,
and our advice is to go early and get inside
the Church—the recital will begin prompt-ly
at 7:30 o'clock. No charge for admis-sion
is made, but a free will silver offering
is asked to help defray the necessary ex-penses.
The program is as follows:
1. Processional
2. "Festival Te Deum"„ Buck
3. "OLambofGod". Gounod
4. Quartette—"Rock of Ages" Buck
5. "The great Day of the Lord is Near"
Chaffin
6. Ladies Chorus—^Eye Hath Not Seen"
i Gaul
7. Tenor Solo—"How Man Hired Ser-vants"

Observe American
Education Week
;-¦ December 3 to 9 inclusive has been des-ignated
as American Education Week.
This movement has been inaugurated by
the Federal Bureau of Education in co-op-eration
with , the American Legion,, the
National Education Association and the
Perih'a. State Educational Association. It
is of the utriiost importance to the welfare
of any, state and the nation at-large-that
those .phases of education . relating, to
Americanism, Citizenship, (.Patriotism, the
needs of teachers and schools, the problem
pf illiteracy, equality, of educational op-portunity,
hygiene and physical education
be especially emphasized at this time. .
It is certain that some good will home
from setting aside such a week and having
the attention of the people called to the
importance of education in every possible
way; To accomplish the best possible
results, "all educational agencies, all civic
and business organizations, the press, and
the pulpit should observe American Edu-cation
Week by proper exercises, publica-tion,
and public addresses.
Program of American Education Week:
•Sun. Dec. 3.-"For God and Country. .
Mon. Dec. 4;-i-American Citizenship
Day. ' ., . '
Tues. Dec. 5.—Patriotism Day.
Wed. Dec. 6.—School and Teacher Day.
Thurs. Dec. 7.—Illiteracy Day.
Fri. Dec. 8.—Equality of Opportunity
Day.
Sat. Dec. 9.—Physical Education Day.
Obviously this is a magnificent program
but due to the Jack of time since the an-nouncement
of the movement only a small
portion of the program can be attempted
in our locality. It is hoped that the min-isters
of the Community will lend their
assistance and call the attention of their
parishoners to educational matters and
particularly matters affecting education
in Americanism and citizenship.

Firemen Have |
Big Appet ites
Fifty-nine members of the Hershey
Volunteer Fire Company motored to
Grantville on Thursday evening, where
they seated themselves around the festive
board, which was loaded to its utmost
capacity. . • k
The good things consisted as follows:
Chicken* waffles, mashed potatoes, sweet
potatoes, lima beans, tomatoes, corn, fill-ing,
dressing, celery, pineapple, cranberry,
sauce, Chila sauce, applesauce, cole-slaw,
chow-chow, pickles, fruit salad, cocoanut
cake, chocolate cake, gingervread, as-sorted
cookies, Morning Glory cakes,
apples, shoo-fly pie, ice cream, coffee,
cigars; also bread, butter, pres ervepse, p-per
and salt.
There was so much on the table, and so
many feet under the table, and so little
elbow around the table, that one had to
be quite dexterous in order to eliminate any
mishap. We are happy to say no one
spilled the gravy, and everybody had such
a grip on their knives and forks that none
fell under the table.
. It was a most amazing sight indeed to
see how the chicken and waffles disap-peared.
The comely waitresses had much
to do to. supply the demand. It was as
though the firemen had been fasting for a
week awaiting this feast.
As to whom it was that ate the most, we
are unable to say. Some say Walter
Ashenfelter topped the list by eating three
chickens and fourteen waffles, others say
George Schroll, Ed. Harkins and Roy
Sternberger surpassed him. We do know
however, that Ben Beidleman ate the
most pieces of chicken—the caboose kind,
and his plate looked like a chicken grave-yard;
we do know that Wm. Brinker ate
the most fruit salad, and that Tom. Black
ate the most shoo-fly pie. There seemed
to be much rivalry as to who could get
away with the most chocolate cake—some
say Wm. Hackman ate three pieces, others
say Jerome Hostetter ate four pieces, and
some say Doc Henny ate five pieces. It
might at some future time be a good idea to
have a cake-eating contest between these
three firemen.
There was only one feature that marred
the evening's enjoyment—there was no
mince pie to be had. They told us that
the Hershey Sunday School Baseball
League at their banquet on Tuesday eve-ning
ate every mince pie there was in the
place, and as a consequence the firemen
had to eat shoo-fly pie. It was bad news.
It seemed as though the firemen had only
one purpose in mind—and that was to eat.
When they had finished to their entire
satisfaction they arose from the table as
best they -could, donned their hats and
coats and without much ado were soon
whizzing home or elsewhere. We are very
grateful that there were no speeches, very
grateful indeed. .
Those present were as follows:
Tom Black, John McKinhe,, John
Snavely, Alvin Flowers, Paul Shoap, Harry

Everybody Should
See "Happiness "
The third number of the Hershey Ly-cum
Course will consist of the Ellas Day
Players In "Happiness," which will be
presented on Monday evening, December
11th. The tickets for this splendid play
are now being offered for sale, Adult
tickets at 50 cents, children's tickets at 25
cents. The Hershey Central Theatre
should be packed to its utmost capacity
when "Ha ppiness" Is played.
The Play "Happiness" has never before
been produced In Lyceum. It was written
by Hartley Manners, author of "Peg O'
My Heart" and numerous other successful
plays. Laurette Taylor, the famous act-ress
used it for two years in Npw York and
Chicago, besides touring the country.
The play itself is on the order of "Peg O'
My Heart" and has in It a fine lesson.
Jennie/the llttlo shop girl, is'ono of the best
characters seen in any play in the last
twenty yeara and ,the story is interwoven
around the lives of "just hdman beings."
The plot shows how a young Now York
s|iop girl, uneducated,, but intelligent and
with an ambition to be "somebody," enters
the lives of a wealthy New York man and
woman, tired of their selfish existence and
through the force of her example changes,
them Into purposeful,' philanthropic citi-zens,
Happiness abounds with laughs, with
here and there a tragic touch so that It la
closer to the old saying "you laugh one
minute and weep the next'' than any other
play of recent years. Mr. Day has pro?
cluccd It with the same attention to Uotall
as was displayed In the original production.
There are three acts and an epilogue and in
the epilogue much cause for rejoicing with,
lit tle Jenni e in the fulfillment of hor.pm bf c
tlons. ' .v,:, , ; ' ' ' ,
