Bach Choir Will Sing
at 20th Aonhrersary
The Bethlehem Bach Choir, which wul
be heard in Hershey during the Twentieth
Anniversary, Saturday and Sunday, June
16th and . 17th, thi s year celebrated the
twenty-fifth year of itsorganiz ation by Dr.
J . Fred Wolle. The nineteenth festival
takes place May 25th and 26th, at Lehigh
University under the directionof Dr. Wolle.
Bach's 'The Lord' s Passion according to
St. John" will be sung at two sessions the
first day and the immortal Mass in B minor
at two sessions the second. The Mass has
been sung at every festival.
Although the choir was organized by Dr.
Wolle in 1898, there was no festival until
1900, two years being given to stud y
before the Mass was attempted. Then
from 1905 to 1911 Dr. Wolle was head of
the Department of Music at the University
of California , and no festivals were given
in that period , although the singers were
largely kept together in the Bethlehem
Choral Union by Pr of. T. Edgar Shields,
the choir's official organist for many years.
The twenty-fifth year of the organization
of the choir was celebrated on April 4th,
which day was also the sixtieth birthday
anniversary of Dr. Wolle. A joint com-memoration
took place, and Director
Wolle was presented with a check for $3000
the money having been given by hundreds
of his friends in Bethlehem and other cities
near and far. Dr. Wolle and his family
plan to use the gift of money for a trip to
Euro pe perha ps in 1924.
So popular have the annual festivals
become that several thousand music lovers
journey to Bethlehem from all parts of the
East and a goodly number from Western
States and from abroad. The demand for
seats is so great that an auditorium three
times the seatin g capacity of Packer
Church at Lehigh University, where the
fetes have been held for fen years past,
could be easily filled.
Charles M. Schwab, the steel magna te,
has been president of the choir association
for several years. The first out of town
trip by the choir was in 1916, when at Mr.
Schwab 's expense, the singers, numbering
nearly two hundred and fifty, went to New
T$ork by special train to sing in Carnegi e
Hall. Several times later the choir sang in
the metropolis , appearing in the Manhatt -
an Opera House and the Seventy-Fir st
Armory. On these occasions they were
heard by audiences numbering from four to
six thousand each time. Twice has the
choir sung the past two years in the Acade-my
of Music, Philadelphia , largely through
the efforts of Cyrus H. K. Curtis , the noted
publisher , and his son-in-law, Edward Bok,
former editor of "The Lad ies Home Jour-nal."
The choir will probab ly sing again
in Philadel phia next November.
An invitation to sing in Havana came
recently; but it is not yet known if the choir
could make the tri p, as it would ne-cessitate
two hundred or more singers
being absent from their employment in
Bethlehem for upward of two weeks. It
has always been stressed as a notable
feature of the choir personnel that it is
drawn from the rank and file of those who
work. There are , of course, some pro-fessional
people in the membership,
The fame of the choir and its work under
Dr. Wolle's leadership have been growing
year by year , until toda y It in probably the
best known choral organization in the
country. The choir will sing at Ocean
Grove, the famous Methodist summer
resort in New Jerse y, on August 11.

Julia Claussen and
Paul Alt house Recital
Julia Claussen, the prima donna mezzo
soprano of the Metropolitan Opera House,
and Paul Althouse, the foremost American
tenor , also a member of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, will give a joint recital at
the Hershey Park Conventio n. Hall on
Decoration Day, Wednesday afternoon ,
May SOth.
- The price for the afternoon's recital is
within the reach of all, 50 cents, 75 cents,
$1.00 and a few at $1.50.
We print a few remarkable press ex-cerpts
from some of the cities in which she
appeared last season, as follows:
"If we are to review the program in the
order of our own personal enjoyment
reacting to the offerings afforded by the
artists , we should in all truth accord the
palm to Mme. Claussen, whose singing of
the Tristan and Isolde Love Death' was
noth ing less than magnificent.
"Mme. Claussen has not been heard at
the Auditorium for several seasons, during
which lapse of time every ramification of
her splendid art seems to have broadened
and gained in effectiveness and potency.
The tone has become freer in the upper
register and retains as well all its known
richness, depth and color. Besides her
naturalness , simplicity and poise of manner
are strong factors in the sympathetic ap-peal
made by her personality. "—Herman
Devries, Chicago Evening American.
Noteworthy was the Ortrud .of Julia
Claussen. This was indeed the most
striking and poignant feature of the
performance , for not only was Mme. Claus-sen'a
superb voice heard to great advantage
in her delivery of the music, but she acted
the part with an illuminative emphasis and
a thrilling intensit y. Nothing so good of
the kind has been seen here since the debut
in the same role of Schumann Heink."
—Philadelphia Inquirer.
"A stunning figure in the gorgeous
costumes of Ortrud, Mme. Claussen put to
her credit an impersonation that had
artistic distinction histrionically as well as
vocally. Apart from Mme. Easton 's
appealing por tra yal of Elsa it represented
unquestionably the most satisfying individ-ual
achievement of the evening."—Max
Smith, New York American.
"Mme. Claussen, mezzo-soprano of the
Metropolitan Opera , one of the most
accomplished artistes on the lyric stage and
on the concert platform , pre sented a thoro-ughly
enjoyable program last night. It
was a distinguished exhibition of vocalism
of the best kind. The Odeon never held a
more appreciative audience."—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Says Paul Althouse, the famous Ameri-can
tenor of the Metropolitan Opera
Company : 'The church choir is one of
the most wonderful musical organizations
in America. It develops more singers,
reaches and instils a taste for good music
in a greater number of people than practi-cally
any other institution in this country.
And I don't care how small the church is or
how far it is from the railroad or post-office.
Very often from that little choir may come
a voice that will hold the music world
spellbound. "
This is the opinion of Paul Althouse,
who will appear at the Hershey Convention
Hall on Wednesday, May 30th (Decoration
Day),, and it is shared by many of the
foremost singers before the public today.
That it is an opinion based upon authorita-tive
knowledge is proven by the fact that
Mr. Althouse has been singing in church
choirs since he was six years of age. At
the mature age of ten he was soprano
soloist in the Christ Church Choir of his
native city, Reading, Pa., and at the age of
fourteen he first started to sing tenor.
From that time until the present day Pau l
Althouse has never given up his interest in
younger singers who are making their
start in the music world by way of the
choir.

Dustin Farnnm at
Central Theatre Tonight
What prom ises to be a real treat is
Dustin Farnum 's latest picture, 'Three
Who Paid ," which will be shown at the
Hershey Central Theatre tonight (Thurs-day)
. It is a William Fox production and
was written by George Owen Baxter , one
of the most famous novelists of the age.
J oseph Franklin Poland , one of the coun-try
's leading scenarists, wrote the screen
version of the book.
From the story, the picture play
promises to be full of action and rapid fire
interest. The role of Riley Sinclair ,
around whom the play revolves, is well
suited to Mr. Farnum. Bessie Love, the
popular leading woman , is playing a dual
role In this new, grippin g, western photo-play.
Early In the picture she takes the
part pf the schoolmaster. It later develops
that she was masqueradin g and she appears
as the simple, sweet little Miss who has
endeared herself to the hearts of all movie-goers.
Frank Compeau, who la well knowjn to
screen fans, again appears as a vllllan in
support of Farnum. These two sterling
actors have appeared in many stage and
screen successes together and their fights
are always worth going a mile to see.
Others In the cast include Fred Kohler,
Rober t Daly, William Conklln and Rober t
Agnew. , ' ,

Park Theatre Saturday
Why is it that the appeal of the theme of

and unfading, having a powerful hold on
young and old alike? And why is its
message -universal ? The answer to these
quest ions is given in "Rags and Riches."

the Hershey Park Theatre on Saturday
evening, May 12th, at 7:30 o'clock.

youth and its adventurous strain , which he
always succeeds in communicating to his
audience.
"Rags to Riches." adapted from Charle?
A. Taylor 's celebrated stage play, centers
about young Marmadu ke Clarke , a
wealthy little child , who frets under the
artificial formality of his home, and pines
for a little action. He gets his chance
upon discovering a burgl ar in the house.
When the second-story ar tist escapes
Marmaduke pursues him and becomes his
pal. Then the two roam through the
country, while a gang of desper ate crooks
shadow them for the ' tempting reward
offered for Marmaduke. How the lad
helps to corral the crooks makes for a
climax which is exciting and refreshing.
Other members of the cast are Niles
Welch, Ruth Renick, Russell Simpson.
Mrs. Minna D. Redman . Richard Tucker ,

Tom Mix at Park
Theatre Tuesday
Every Tom Mix picture provi de at least
one new and distinct thrill for the enter-tainment
and amusemen t of movie fans.
The resourceful and ever original "stunt-artist
" of the screen never fails his admir-ers
who can always expect a breezy thrilling
screen film narrative. Withou t any ex-ceptions
the stunt performe d by Tom Mix
in his latest William Fox picture , "3
Jumps Ahead ," which will be shown at the
Hefshey Park Theatre on Tuesday eve-ning,
May 15th, at 7:30 o'clock, are the
most daring ever attempted before the
camera.
This story deals with the activitie s of a
band of cattle rustlers of the old West and
their subsequent defeat at the hands of the
Texas Rangers. The rustlers capture
Mix and take him to their secret cave
which has its entrance beneath a wat erfall.
In order to enter the cave the men ride
through the water and thus come to a rock
walled fortress. Mix escapes from the
rustler 's stronghold and rescues the father
of the girl he loves. Then he leads the
Rangers in pursuit of the bandits.
In order to cut off pursuit , the bandits
destroy a bridge over a deep canyon and
then continue their flight in a stagecoach.
But Mix leaps the canyon which is twenty
feet wide and ninety feet deep. This is one
of the most remarkable stunts ever shown
in motion pictures and will give even the
most confirmed movie fan a new thrill .
If you like a fast moving Western tale
with plenty of thrilling stunts , superb
photography, an interesting love story and
a capable cast , then this picture will sur ely
entertain you.

"The Gypsy RoTer"
More Than Pleased
On Frida y evening of last week the
pupils of the HersAey High School present-ed
"The Gypsy Rover ", a three-act roman-tic
musical comedy, giving a pleasing and
praiseworthy ¦performance , which was
much enjoyed by an audience that nearly
filled the lar ge Park Theatre. , ..
"The Gypsy Rover " was given with
great animation and effectiveness under
the masterl y and painstaking directi on of
Miss Leah H. Burns and Miss Mary Gregg
Darrow , who deserve great praise for
making such a splendid success in the
rendition of the production , for the per-formance
moved without a hitch. This
was due, also, to the splendid orchestr ation
under the direction of Mr. Frank P. Went-zel,
assisted by Miss Miriam S. Moore.
The play was handsomely staged and
the gaily colored costumes were approp ri-ately
pictures que.
A feature of the representation was the
animated, correct and tuneful singing of
the well trained chorus, which was really
excellent.
Each character had been competent ly,
even admirabl y, cast. Alexander Magrini ,
as Rob, afterwards Sir Gilbert Howe, was
in particularl y good voice, and his music
was delivered with much dramatic ex-pression
and tonal beauty. He presented
a pictures que appearance in his gypsy
costume.
Miss Lucile Oilman , as Lady Constance ,
daughter of Sir Geor ge Martindale , was
impressive and with her beautiful soprano
voice did ample justice to the music, and
conveyed a clear and sympath etic idea of
Lady Constance 's charms.
Antionetta Bilotta, as Meg, an old
gypsy woman, was effective. She has a
most agreeable voice and we are sorr y that
she had so little opportunity to use it, tins
comment also applies to Miss Teresa Ma-grini
, as Zara , the belle of the gypsy camp.
Earl Hackman, as Marto , and Niles
Long, as Sinfo, carried the comedy roles,
and there was genuine humor in the im-personations
of their respective parts.
Jo hn Bomgardner , as Lord Craven , was
admirably cast, sustaining the part with
spirit and intelligence.
George Zeigler, as Sir George Martin-dale,
deserves special mention. He has a
splendid stage presenc e, a pleasing voice,
and he fitted the role to perfectio n.
Mildred Hocker , as Nina, was good to
look at and to hear , ans she made a very
sprightly Nina indeed.
John Gilman , as Capt. Jerome, made a
dashing figure. His number with Nina, in
"Moon , Moon, Moon", with the chorus ,
made a hit with the house, although he did
get tangled up a bit with his spurs at first.
He has every assurance of himself, he
knows he is good, and we will quite agree
with him. Keep it up, John , and someday
you will be ridin g around in a Packard.
Chester Swartz, as Sir Toby, and Roy
Dundore , as McCorkle , didn 't have much
to do, but what little they had , they made
the most of it.
Walton Wiley as the lackey made quite
a hit all togged up in his full dress suit.
Richar d Zeigler, Robert Hoffman , Jr. ,
Bertha Haybaker , J une Eby, Marion
Hinkle , Howard Lloyd and Tony DeAnge-lis
were the gypsy children. Their song
number , "Fairy Land" , was especially
pleasing.
'The Gypsy Rover " was without a
doubt the biggest theatrical ¦ event ever
produced in Hershe y, and we are indeed
glad that the audience was large, and
doubly glad that the performance was such
a gratifying success.
