Gordon Kibbler and

Special Dance Tonight
Gordon Kibbler and His Orchestra, the
orchestra that made such a decided hit at
Hershey Park on Sunday afternoon, will
furnish the music at a Special Dance at the
Hershey Park Dance Pavilion on Thurs-day
evening (tonight), June 10th, from
8.30 to 11.30 o'clock. Admission, 50 cents
The Gordon Kibbler Orchestra have

to dance to music furnished by such
a top-notcher musical organization as the

Five Printers
Catch One Fish
Harry Gordon, John Ensminger, Mason
Miller .William Grubb and Stanley Wilhelm,
employes of the printing department of the
Hershey Chocolate Co., went fishing at
Bowers Beach, Delaware, on Saturday,
returning with one fish.
This was Harry Gordon's second ex-perience
as a salt-water fisherman and aa
usual he got seasick—in fact, he was so
sick he thought he heard the Campbell-town
U. B. Church bell tolling for him.
The fish that was caught was too small
to be divided among the five men, so it was
decided to present it to Mr. Gordon, to
alleviate in some measure the seasickness
that he had undergone.
Mr. Ensminger, who had been talking
about the wonders of Bowers Beach for
about four weeks, returned as a somewhat
disillusionised young man, and believes
there must be a better fishing spot else-where
and is recommending that the next
fishing trip be made to Gloucester.
There was a much disappointed crowd
at Harpers on Sunday evening when Mason
Miller returned empty-handed—for Mr.
Miller's numerous friends were all awaiting
his homecoming with baskets. Mr. Miller
was unable to present any fish but he did
return with a box of salt-water taffey,
which he passed around as a peace-offering.
As for Mr. Grubb and Mr. Wilhelm they
believe that one of the aforementioned
three men was a Jonah, and believe they
will go with better fishermen on their next
trip.
Nine Fisherme n
Get 108 Fish
George Warner, Elmer Erb, "Boss" Erb,
and Henry Hockcr, of Hockersville; H.
Kreider, of Harriaburg ; Albert Shcnk, Hoy
Shenk, George I'almgrcn and Jay Stahl , of
town, went fishing at Bowers Beach, Dela-ware,
on Monday.
Altho the sea was stormy it made no
difference to these hardy landlubbers.
Elmer Erb and Geo. Palmgrcn looked over
the sea-craft and finall y chose what they
considered to l>e an honest-to-goodness
craft and skipper.
Arriving at the fishing spot all of our
hardy fisherman got busy (yes, we had no
seasickness today) and began to pull out
the frah. "Boss'' Erb pulled out the first
shark, and George Warner followed with a
sea serpent. After this Jay Stahl caught
himself a nice sand perch, as did George
Pulmgren. Albert Shenk got an 18-inch
trou t and Roy got a croaker, as did Elmer
Erb and II. Kreidt'r. The good work con-tinued
throughout the day and the total
results of their fishing endeavors numlxsred
108 fish , se« trout, croakers and sand
perch. Sharks, sea serpents and por-poises
didn 't count. It only goes to show
what real fishermen can dot

Syd Chaplin in
"Oh, What a Nurse"
This Week
"Charley's Aunt" and "The Man on the
Box" established Syd Chaplin in the front
rank of screen stars. Even Brother
Charlie probably never caused more actual
laugh ter in any two pictures that Brother
Syd did in those first two.
And now Syd has gone and done himself
one better in his latest picture, "Oh, What
A Nurse!" which will be the feature film at
the Hershey Park Theatre on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, June 10, 11 and 12.
Here is a comedy that allows virtually no
let-up in the laughter it provokes. It is
fast, furious, rollicking fun from start to
finish.
Written by Robert E. Sherwood, editor
and motion picture critic of "Life," in
collaboration with Bertram Bloch, it faced
the possibility of humiliating disaster
unless it were actually very, very funny.
For Sherwood", as a critic, has been merci-less
in his attacks upon other screen writers
and, as the editor of "Life," he had the
comic magazine's own reputation to up-hold.
"Oh, What A Nurse!" simply had to tie
funny. . And in the production given by
the Warner Bros., it turns out to be just
about twice as funny as anyone had a right
to expect. It is truly hilarious.
Syd Chaplin apjj ears as a newspaper
reporter, who is called upon to substitute
for the woman who writes the Advice to the
Lovelorn column, and who writes a stereo-typed
note in reply to a question of Love
vs. Money propounded by a romantic
reader. 1 he advice stirs a whirlwind of
excitement in an influential citizen 's home,
and Chaplin is ordered by his editor to go
to straighten things out. Ilia madly ex-citing
adventures fill an hour or more of
wild exhilaration.

Lon Chaney in The
Black Bird " at Park
Next Week
"The strangest combination I ever
tried."
This is how Lon Chaney describes his
new role in "The Black Bird," the Lime-house
mystery story, which will be the
feature film at the Hershey Park Theatre
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
June 14, 15 and 16.
Chaney plays both roles in a manner
very opposite to his usual custom, as his
makeup, facially at least, is not elaborate,
and still is a perfect disguise. In one role
he is a Limehouse crook leader, and this is
done by a few subtle facial lines, and
therefore almost entirely by mannerisms
and expressions.
The other role is that of a crippled
worker in a Limehouse rescue mission.
This role is one in which the actor's body
is twisted into a grotesque posture, but
because no grotesque facial makeup goes
with it, the part is not repulsive.
As the cripple he depicts an almost
saintlike character—as the crook the lowest
form of Limehouse criminal; two roles as
far removed from each other as they could
possibly be.
In the missionary role, as in the other,
the actor hardly applied makeup to his
face, diametrically opposite to his work in
such roles as "The Hunchback of Notre
Dame." But it would be difficult to
recognize one character in the other.
"The Black Bird" is a mystery tale
recognized by Waldemar Young from
Browning's original story. A notable
cast supports Chaney, including, Owen
Moore, Rcnec Adoree, Doris Lloyd, Andy
McLennan, William Weston . Eric Mayne,
Sidney Bracy, Ernie S. Adams, Polly
Moran and Lionel Bel more. •

"And what of the children's blood you

"Their Father awaited them up above,

"And what of the homes of men you burned

Genius Incognito
Last Thursday a traveling man was
perusing this column, and his amusement
was quite audible to us, although the
gentleman was standing some distance
away. The queerest feeling played tag
with itself up and down our spinal column,
in short, a thrill. Here is the proof, we
thought, that a prophet is not without
profit save in his own country.
This man of the world, blase, traveled,
reads our stuff and finds it so amusing he
laughs out loud.
The gentleman walked over to where we
were standing. "That's pretty good stuff"
he remarked. "Is it home talent, or is it
sent C. O. D. from New York City?"
We assured him that it was home talent,
that we knew the writer very well, having
been his schoolmate for a number of years
and having drunk with him from the same
cider barrel on several occasions. Here
indeed was a scene we relished. We
pictured ourselves as Genius Incognito, the
fellow, prince or author or whatever, talk-ing
to others about himself without their
learning his identity. Just the way they
do in the story books, don't you know. .
His next remark knocked the props from
under our house of cards. He began to
laugh heartily again. "Here is one," he
said, "that Smokestack fellow ought to
put in the paper. It's a hot one. A
kind of trick want ad. 'For sale a piano
by a lady with carved legs.' Haw, haw,
haw! 'Sa funny one all right. Imagine a
lady with carved legs, can you? Haw,
haw, haw."
Somehow we managed a forced laugh as
we tried to think whether we were in the
second or third grade when we first heard
that one and whether this was the one
hundred and thirty-ninth or one hundred
and fortieth time we had heard it since.
Did this man think for a minute, we asked
ourselves, that he could class the kind of
stuff we purvey with that toothless one he
had just told with such evident merriment?
Had the humor appreciating cells of his
brain never developed, or was he making
fun of Genius Incognito, not knowing
Genius was so near him?
Brevity may be the soul of wit, but how
can a fellow be brief and get to the bottom
of the column in three hours and twenty
minutes?
A Letter from Mae B. Overweight
Hershey, Pa.,
Dee Jay Gee, June 8, 1926.
% Smokestack,
Dear Sir:-
It has been a long time since you have
heard from me and I hope this will be the
last time you will hear from me. The fact
of the matter is, I am resting at my coun-try
estate at Skunk's Corners, recuperating
after my exciting experiences with Augusta
Wind at Crystal Park, north of Liberty
Cross Roads. Augusta and I motored
there, last Sunday, and feeling rather daring
after drinking a bottle of near beer apiece
we decided to go boating. Neither of us
had ever rowed a boat, though I have
"paddled my own canoe" for years. I
took the oars and Augusta sat in the rum-ble
seat. No matter which oar I used,
Augusta would insist I use the other one.
So I finally compromised by using both.
When fifteen minutes of the half hour for
which we had hired the U. Drive It had
elapsed, I began to make strenuous effort
to work our craft up stream to the pier.
Unsuccessful in this I decided we could just
as well land anywhere along the bank
which was of wet clay and sloped down at
an angle of about forty-five degrees to the
waters edge.
As the boat touched the bank I stepped
out on the wet clay bank with one foot. I
slipped , and Augusta and the boat shot out
into the stream. I did the same, but
while Augusta still sat peacefully in the
rumble seat, I was showing the crowd
along the bank how to swim. The dress
that I paid $14.98 for at the sale last week
was ruined. And so was my marcel! But
when I got on shore, 1 fainted in the arms
of the duckiesl fellow I When I thought I
dad fainted long enough, I came to. There
was Augusta , out in the stream? still sitting
peacefully In the rumble seat, helpless.
There was nothing to do but send my
sheik to her rescue with another boat. And
when he had rescued her, didn 't he do
nothing else but help her into one of those
expensive sport roadsters, and take her
home or somewhere, leaving me to drive
home, shivering alone. I began to take
chills and the llivvcr took a flat tire, but I
drove It home lint.
I wish now I had let myself drown last
Sunday, life Is so cruel. I am still trying
to figure out why my sheik left me alone
and took Augusta Wind home or some-where.
I'm not so bad for looks, though
I'm Mae B. Overweight.
Item in Cider Pros*
(Apple I Illl's Ix'ading and Only Weekly
Paper)
The whole community was shocked by
the sudden demise of Miss Amanda Sprigga
who was an ardent member of the W. C. T.
U. and president of the Apple Hill Anti-
Smoklng Ixague, last Saturday, at her
home on Baldwin street.
All her property, consisting of her home
on Baldwin street and No. .')!>46.r>2 in cash
she leaves for the furtherance of the Antl-
Smoking cause. She was never a believer
in banks as guardians of capital, and it was
only by accident that her hercuved friends
discovered the cash mentioned nltove in
the bustle she had worn so many years.

NOTES
Leithiser is hitting like Babe Ruth.
Thataboy, Bill, keep up the good work.
Some of the rooters think it poor baseball
to eliminate fielding practice, as was done
on Tuesday evening.
Hershey plays Highspire at Highspire on
Thursday evening. On Friday the team
plays Hummelstown at Hummelstown,
playing off the tie game of June 3d.
On Tuesday evening, Hershey will play
Royalton, the leaders of the league, on the
Hershey Park field. The Royalton team
is a strong one, and Hershey will have to
be up and doing in order to get their bacon.
The rooters are coming out in greater,
numbers—but the team would like to see
the crowds grow yet bigger. Join the
rooters and the boosters! The league race
is now on, and the team is out to win the
pennant. The team wants and needs
your support.

Lutheran Church
to be Enlar ged
This Summer
The preliminary architects' plan for the
enlarging of the Holy Trinity Lutheran
Church was approved by the Church
Council on Monday evening, and the work
will be rushed to completion at the earliest
date possible. Richert & Eiler, of Read-ing,
are the architects.
It is planned to tear down the wall of the
present church building fronting on Cocoa
avenue and re-construct and redesign the
entire front, which will increase the seating
capacity of the church auditorium.
Further requirements were taken into
consideration in drawing up the new plans,
so that at some future time an addition
may be constructed to the rear part of the
eresent church building, to be used for
unday School purposes. This addition
would seat approximately 400 pupils. It
is so planned
^
when necessity arises, that
the Sunday School room and the church
auditorium could be thrown into one large
auditorium.

LIEUT. COM. JOHN PHILIP SOUSA
SOUSA TO PLAY 3 NEW
MARCHES IN HERSHEY
The Fourth of July—the Nation s birth-day—
seems an appropriate date for Lieut.
Com. John Philip Sousa, most beloved
of American conductor-composers to open
his annual tour. This year it is the thirty-fourth
season of Sousa's Band, and the
opening is in Hershey, "the chocolate and
cocoa town", playing a two-days engage-ment
in the Hershey Park Convention
Hall. The opening has a special flare this
year because on that date it will be possible
to give an appropriate first performance of
his latest march, "Sesqui-Centennial
March," written in honor of the 150th year
of the Republic, and already designated as
the official march of the Sesqui-Centennial
Exposition in Philadelphia .
Never before has Sousa arranged so
many novelties. There are three new
marches this year, "Sesqui-Centennial
March," "The Pride of the Wolverines,"
dedicated to the City of Detroit - and
"Gridiron March," dedicated to the
famous club in Washington. The annual
humoresque is 'The Wets and the Drys," a
musical version of the Prohibition question,
and the comedy presentation is entitled
"On Your Radio," a Sousa arrangement for
brass band of the things which the wild
ether waves are saying. Still another
novelty will be the presentation of the
"Juba Dance" of R. Nathaniel Dett, whom
Sousa says will achieve greatness as a
composer of negro music, and thirty
minutes of Sousaized jazz, composed from
the musical comedy and dance hits of the
day.
The Sousa organization this year will be
as large as ever with half a dozen soloists
in addition to the regular band ensemble.
