              Meeting of Her shey Propert y-holders
There will be a meeting on Thursday Evening,
August 18th, at 7:00 in the Central Theatre, of the
property-holders living on the south side of the P.
& R. Railroad.
It is the wish of Mr. M. S. Hershey that there
be a 100% attendance at this meeting, not only of
the men, but of the ladies as well.
The object of this meeting is to discuss matters
furthering the betterment of the town.
Make it a Point to be There
Another large throng of music lovers
attended the Concert on last Sunday
given by the Park Orchestra. The at-tendance
though large would certainly
have been greater but for the rain of
Sunday noon. Following the rain the
sun came peeping through but dark
ominous clouds gathered later in the after-noon
and by four o'clock rain was again
descending while the wind howled and
growled chasing all visitors helter skeltei
for shelter and causing an abrupt ending
of an unusually delightful concert.
The feature number of the concert was
a piano solo by Mr. Jack Rhodes. He
played a very difficult composition by the
famed Rachmaninoff, in a masterly
fashion which won round after round of
applause. He responded with a very
delightful encore and the good people
again acknowledged his genius with pro-longed
applause.
The entire program was very pleasing
and rendered in the same excellent style
which has marked this year's orchestra as
being the very best which has ever played
here.

will be rendered :

INCURS PAINFUL INJUR Y

on last Thursday when , in jumping over
the fence, which surrounds the Wiley
home on Java Ave,, -his left, ankle was over-turned
and severely sprained, Dr. Zim-merman
was Immediately called and the
injury given expert , medical attention.

A Community Ice Cream Social will be
held on the lawn in front of the Central
Theatre, Saturday, August 20, beginning
at five o'clock and continuing throughout
the evening.
This social is being planned by the Com-mittee
that had been appointed to take
charge of the Community Picnic held at
Boiling Springs. At that time there was
a deficit due to an insufficient sale of rail-road
tickets to meet the guarantee. The
committee feels that this a community
debt and as such the community ought to
be anxious to cancel it. There is no doubt
that the most pleasant way in order to do
this is by a community gather ing where
those who were unable to enjoy the day
at Boiling Springs may nevertheless have
•a good time with their friends at this
Community Social on Saturday evening
of this week.
To insure a good lively time, the
previously appointed Sports Committee
will continue to function. They will
keep things moving. Come and join in
the merry making.
A variety of good, things to eat will be
offered on the grounds for sale such as
ice cream, cakes with icing and cakes
without icing, delicious pies, delectable
home made candy, lemonade, etc. Your
Sunday dinner will be much more com-plete
with one of these cakes and pies.
There will be plent of them. Come early
and get the best choice.

Cream Social on

HUMMELSTOWN OUTDOOR RE
LIGIOUS SERVICES
The second number of the Union Re-ligious
services held in the Athletic Park
last Sunday evening was a complete suc-cess
from beginning to end. Some have
estimated that there were 1000 people
present, but a better guess would be
between 500 and 600. The Acme Band
furnished Sacred music from 7 o'clock until
the end of the services. The community
singing in accompany with the Band
proved a marked success. The motion
picture, "From Manger to Cross" was
presented on the beautiful screen very
vividly to the solemn worship of the very
interested crowd. If frequent showers
all during the Sunday afternoon did not
prevent a grandstand with every seat
taken and people standing up and hun-dreds
standing in front of the grandstand ,
surely a greater surprise is in store for a
greater awakening in the religious attitude
of the community for next Sunday
evening if the weather is favorable. The
program is as follows: Concert (Sacred)
Hershey Boys' Band under leadership of
R. F. Swabb; Congregational singing,
accompanied by music by Band undci
leadership of Mr. Harry Laucks, Reformed
Church; Sermon address by Rev. John
Wesley Grande, Minister , M, E. Church.
The service will begin promptly at 6:30
and end at 7:30 standard time. Every-body
is cordially invited to attend.

BIRTH ANNOUNCE MENT
Mi', and Mrs, William Hotiser, of East
Derry Road , are happily announcing the
birth of n baby girl , Helen Elizabeth , on
Wednesday, August 10,
The attraction booked at the Hershey
Park Theatre for August 25, 26 and 27 is
"Quincy Adams Sawyer" the great New
England drama in its fifteenth season of
uninterrupted success. , Every one who
has read the book of the same name from
which the play was taken, will want to see
the dramatization , and those who have not
read the book will want to see the play
just the same, for everybody loves a clean,
wholesome play of New England life, and
this is just what "Quincy Adams Sawyer "
is.
Best ,of all, it has departed from the
weather-beaten tracks of the old drama.
The pleasing points are a simple, sweet
love story a continuous series of humorous
incidents, and an almost heretofore un-known
naturalness and a purity that per-vades
the entire play.
To begin with, you start at the country
store and post-office, where you see
"Quincy Adams Sawyer" as the city chap
helping his country friends and out doing
his country enemies. You are made
known of the pretty love affair of several
of the village young folks and your interest
in Mason's Corner folks is firmly es-tablished.
Next you find yourself at the cross-roads.
Here takes place one , of the
prettiest touches of the play, where
Zekiel describes the surroundings to his
blind sister. The scene shifts to Mrs.
Putnam's sitting room and you meet the
ludicrous Samantha, and grow a bit
apprehensive over Lindy's affairs, which
have got into a curious tangle.
Next you find yourself at a real husking-bee
at the Pettingell farm yard. You
will hold your sides in laughter at the
grotesque dancing of Abner Stiles and Mrs.
Crowley.
When you recover , you will find that
you are in the midst of a good, old-fashioned
snow-storm, but you shiver
for only a minute or two, for the interior
of the comfortable Pettingell homestead
is open to your gaze. Everybody eats
supper, all the tangled love affairs are
straightened out and everybody is su-premely
happy. You are happy too, for
the joys and sorrows of those quaint people
have been your own. You go away with
the singing of the doxology lingering in
your ears, and feeling that you have tasted
a piece of genuine rural atmosphere..
This is absolutely the very best attrac-tion
in the repertoire of the Luttringer
Players. It ' requires an enlarged cast,
with special features and scenic effects,
all of which Mr. Luttringer is busily pro-viding
for. It is an attraction you can 't
afford to miss. Tell your friends—bring
them along-—no one will regret seeing
"Quincy Adams Sawyer." Watch next
week 's "Press" for further announcements.
Unique Rural Play
Will be Produced
at Park Theatre
