              Motion Picture Season
Opens Tuesday, Sept. 23
Supporting Glenn Hunter in his first
Paramount picture, "West of the Water
Tower," which will be the opening attrac-tion
at the Hershey Central Theatre on
Tuesday, Sept. 23d, at 7.30 o'clock, are
three of the screen's best known character
players Ernest Torrence, George Fawcett
and Zazu Pitts. All three have roles in
this picture which give them an opportuni-ty
for some of the best work of their careers.
Mr. Torrence, who in a little more than a
year has become one of the most sought
after character actors in pictures, has the
role of Adrian Plummer, the orthodox
minister. It is far different from his Bill
Jackson in "The Covered Wagon," his
clown in "Singed Wings" or his Cousin
Egbert in "Ruggles of Red Gap," but he
gives to the part a brilliant and distinguish-ing
touch. He excludes personality all
through his work and no matter whether
he is playing the part of a minister or that
of a clown, he does not fail to give a master-ful
performance.
Mr. Fawcett has been doing excellent
character work for so many years on the
screen that it is no new thing to say that
Fawcett has scored again. His work as
Charles Chew an infidel in Homer Croy's
dramatic novel is no exception to the
superb technique he always shows. His
work is greatly admired for its thorough-
• ness.
Zazu Pitts, sometimes called "the girl
with the sad face," but always able to get a
laugh, has the thankless role of Dessie
Arnhalt in the picture—thankless because
in the end she is let out in the cold and does
not win the man she loves. She almost
makes the grade, but the scenario writers
always fix it so Miss Pitts gets a chance to
look sad.
Other players in support of Mr. Hunter
in this production who are entitled to
T
credit for excellent portrayals are: May
McAvoy, featured, Charles Abbe, Anne
Schaefer, Riley Hatch, Joe Burke, Edward
Elkus, Allen Baker, Jack Terry, Gladys
Feldman and Alice Mann.
Book Holds One's Interest
The Rev. Basil King, one of the best
known writers in the country, wrote the
author as follows :
"First let me say that I have just finished
that very fine novel, "West of the Water
Tower." It is long since I have read any-thing
half so good. This book holds one
with a mounting interest, and a growing
sense of identity with the characters, right
up to the last word. It is a big production.
If the author can do it again—and I don't
see why he should not—he will make for
himself a big place. One of the troubles
with Main Street seemed to me its lack of
economy; it used up everything in sight;
it left nothing more on the spot to be said.
This man works only one of the many
veins. You can see that he has left him-self
plenty of others to follow up."
John Gilbert Attraction
On Thursda y, Sept. 25th
Long before he started his film career
John Gilbert was a swimming enthusiast.
Therefore the diving scene required of him
in the Fox production , "The Lone
Chance," was not an unwelcome test of his
natatorial powers.
In the picture Gilbert makes an escape
which calls for a dive from a prison wall in
the dark. The height from the top to the
water was 84 feet. In a simulated storm,
effected by a battery of wind machines,
with the water being tossed in giant waves,
John made his leap.
Another of the high points of action is a
race between two cars. John Gilbert in
one auto attempts to overtake another
machine containing Evelyn Brent.
Tearing along at breakneck speed, both
cars avoided a collision only by good
fortune, for the scene had to be taken in a
crowded Hollywood street. Audiences
deriving gooseflesh thrills from watching
the scene on the screen have the assurance
that both participants in the race ex-perienced
faster beating pulses while going
through their parts. The chauffeurs for
both cars admitted that they skipped a few
heart beats themselves. How realistic the
race becomes will be shown at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Thursday evening,
Sept. 25th, at 7,30 o'clock.
These are but two of the thrilling bits of
action in the story, which has many stirring
moments. The star himself needs little
recommendation added to the praise he
has earned in many productions. Evelyn
Brent , playing the feminine lead opposite
Gilbert, has won her laurels for perform-ances
in "The Shadow of the East," "The
Arizona Express" and "The Plunderer. "
The rest of the cast measures up to the
standard of the featured players. Howard
Mitchell, the director , is a veteran of screen
production.

Book Day At Hershey
Librar y Sept. 29
Miss Thelma Baker, librarian of the
Hershey Free Public Library, announces
that Monday, Sept. 29th, has been set
apart for "Library Book Day," a feature
that has been successfully put into effect in
a large number of "live"- communities.
"Library Book Day" is a day set aside
when patrons of the library, and all public
spirited citizens are given the privilege to
contribute a book to the library.
-Miss Baker hopes that the plan will be a
success and that at least 300 volumes will
be added to the library shelves through the
gifts of patrons and friends.
Miss Baker is anxious to rekindle the
interest of the public in the work of the
library to a still greater extent this year.
All classes of books will be acceptable,
fiction, travel, essays, biography, poetry,
drama, and especially juveniles, for which
the demand has steadily increased.
Look over the books that you have at
home, and those that are gathering the
dust, take them to the Library, and Miss
Baker will receive them with open arms—
as will the hundreds of patrons of the
Library.
Let everyone in Hershey and vicinity
join in "Library Book Day", setting a pace
that will make succeeding years difficult to
surpass.

Hershey Dept. Store to Celebrate
14th Anniversar y on Frida y
Beginning Fnday, Sept. 19th and con-tinuing
until Saturday, Sept 27th, the
Hershey Department Store, the big live
shopping centre of Lebanon Valley, will
celebrate its fourteenth anniversary by
holding a mammoth anniversary sale, and
invitations are being sent out to its patrons,
as follows:
Dear Patron:
We are extending you this invitation to
our Fourteenth Anniversary Celebration,
beginning Friday, Sept. 19th, and will
continue until Saturday, Sept. 27th.
It will be just fourteen years next week
since the beginning of this store—fourteen
years marked by continuous, never-tiring
efforts to be the kind of a store you would
have us be—to deserve your patronage.
. To show our appreciation for your sup-port
we have been busy for weeks in prep-aration
for this "birthday" event. We've
secured values to offer you befitting such
an extraordinary sale as this—values in
new, clean, desirable merchandise—and we
are sure you will benefit immensely by
being among the first to inspect these
offerings.
Aside from the many hundreds of special
offerings on sale throughout this event,
there will be an extra special "Gift Value"
on sale each day which will interest you
greatly.
We are going to have a birthday cake,
too, and will be larger than heretofore, so
be on hand the last day of this event and
receive your portion.
Yours very truly,
Hershey Department Store.
Previous to 1910 the Hershey Depart-ment
Store was located in the room now
occupied by the Hershey Quick Lunch. It
was an ordinary country store. Just
fourteen years ago the store was moved
into its new home on the cornerof Choco-late
and Cocoa Avenues. At that time its
employees could be counted on two hands.
By progressive merchandising, through
consolidation and co-operation, the store
built up a large clientile, who appreciated
metropolitan facilities and metropolitan
merchandise at fair prices.
Several years later it was again found
necessary to find larger quarters and as a
result an annex was built. Business
continued to grow and it wasn't long after
that the store felt itself cramped, and the
progressive move was decided upon to
occupy the handsome three-story brick
building that it now occupies.
To this community the Hershey Depart-ment
Store means value. It gives quality
at the lowest price."-' Instead of numerous
small stores, with inferior ' merchandise,
Hershey can boast of a metropolitan
institution, supplying every demand, equal
to that which may be obtained elswhere,
whether it be Harrisburg, Lancaster or
Lebanon.
All of us who live in Hershey and vicinity
should pride ourselves on having such a
splendid store and we all of us should do
our part toward bringing about greater
realization of its wonderful possibilities.
We should look upon the Hershey De-partment
Store as our store, which is not
far-fetched, for it is true, and consequently
all of us should patronize it to a greater
extent than we really do* Practically
every need is met in its many departments,
consisting of groceries, meats, dry goods,
clothing, haberdashery, ladies' ready-to-wear,
millinery, shoes, drugs, jewelry,
furniture, carpets, hardware, glassware,
chinaware and notions.
It is a surprise to many people that the
largest farm implement business in Central
Pennsylvania is conducted as a department
of the Hershey Store. This building is
located at the western end of Chocolate
Avenue, adjoining the Hershey Lumber Co.
Other departments are gram, feed and
During the 14th anniversary sale^every
department has contributed high-grade
seasonable merchandise at prices attrac-tively
low that will mean great savings.
This sale is tremendous in scope, for-reaching
in influence, with values that will
make it one long to be remembered. Be
sure to read detailed announcement else^
where in this week's issue.
The handsome show windows and the
beautiful interior of the large store have
been still further beautified for this sale.
The decorations of the store and the dis-plays
are always clever, appealing and
artistic, but Fred Botts, who is the fairy
magician, and Frank Edris, his assistant,
have outdone all of their previous efforts ,
adapting color schemes and arrangements
that are particularly noteworthy.
High School Football
Team Plays Saturda y
With the crisp bracing air of early Sep-tember
days, come also the sound of the
punt, the soaring of the football through
the air and the forward rush of the players
to run under the ball. Young Americans
almost every where simultaneously lay
down the bat and glove and begin to call
signals for long "end runs" or "straight
football."
There is .no exception to this general
statement in the Hershey Schools. The
very atmosphere on the playground seems
to be surcharged with activities and scrim-mages
of impetuous youths, eager for clean,
wholesome, manly competition. Thirty-five
"young braves" are put competing for
positions on the team which but eleven can
fill. The keen rivalry caused in this man-ner,
will no doubt produce the fastest team
that Hershey High has ever put on the
field. Every friend of youth should be
ready to encourage the boys as they start
up on their schedule by being at the games
and cheering them on to victory.
The first game will take place on Satur-day
afternoon on the Hershey field , against
West Fairview.
The schedule is as follows;
Sept. 20, West Fairview at Hershey.
Sept. 27, Camp Curtin Jr, H. S., at Hershey
Oct. 4, Harrisburg Academy ,at Harrisburg
Oct. 4, Lebanon H. S. Reserves at Hershey.
Oct. 11, Mechanicsburg at Mechanicsburg.
Oct. 18, Carlisle at Carlisle.
Oct. 25, Marysville at Hershey.
Nov. 1, Elizabethtown at Elizabethtown.
Nov! 8, Lemoyne at Hershey.
Nov. 15, New Cumberland at Hershey.
Nov. 15 Lebanon H. S. Reserves at Leb.
Nov. 27, Middletown at Hershey.
Niles C. Long '25, Captain.

FOOTBALL EQUIPMENT
'.hi *<¦>•' Due to the fact that the response to the
call for football candidates has been so
great, it was necessary to purchase addi-tional
equipment to supply them all with
uniforms.
..Naturally the first string men will be
arrayed In the newest and fctcst that the
managers can secure, and the players Will
appear on the Park field next Saturday in
new sturdy helmets, strong effective
shoulder pads, well padded pants and most
of them In now shoes and stockings. This
1b a Hershey team and the team should
reflect the co-operation and support of
Hershey. All this equipment means a
considerable outlay. If nny one should
feel like supporting the team beyond the
purchase of u least two season tickets, the
Athletic Association would bo glad to
receive your check at any time.
RETURN HOME.THIS WEEK
Mr, M. S, Hershey and Mr, nnd Mrs. J,
E. Snyder sailed from Fiance on the 13th
for New York, and are expected to arrive
In 1 Iershey on Friday or Saturday,
No matter which department of the
Hershey Department Store you visit dur-ing
the great Anniversary Sale you are
going to be enthused about what you can
savei by purchasing "Gift Values,"
How Will You Cast
Your Vote?
The wares now offered by the various
partisan political groups are alluring in one
way or another. Those who are trying to
"sell" them to you by every device known
to the experienced salesman, make various
appeals to you, ranging all the way from
narrow self-interest to broad nationalism.
No one group offers you all that is best,
and no one group offers you all that is
worst. The best and the worst, in some
instances, have been mixed deliberately to
tempt you to vote for the worst in the
delusion that you are voting for the best.
The situation in the political field is un-like
anything in recent American history.
In the main it is a three-party contest
differing materially from any other three-party
contest the citizens have been called
upon to decide. There are two strong
parties and one of unknown strength but
with dangerous possibilities in certain
circumstances. And in this contest the
voters may be divided into two great
classes—those who will vote for what they
consider their own best interests, and those
who will vote for what they consider their
country's best interests. Our appeal is
made to the latter, for there is little to be
gained in trying to persuade the voter who
thinks only of his own interests to take the
broader view of national interest.
Some Political Posaibilitiea
Let us set down for your careful consider-ation
a few. of these possibilities and see
how, in the event of their becoming actual-ities,
they may affect for good or ill both
yourself and your country:
1. Though you may vote as a supposed-ly
free and untrammeled unit of a repre-sentative
government, there is the possi-bility
that the next President of the United
States may not be chosen by a majorit y of
the votes cast by the people next Novem-ber.
2. 11 is possible that the election of our
next President may not come through the
will of the people, as expressed fii the
Electoral College, but through the votes
of representatives and senators who were
defeated at the polls by the will of the
American people.
3. It Is possible—readily possible—for
a conservative and conservatively-pro-gressive
majority of the voters to have
presented to them by, the United States
Senate a President whose choice was
dictated by radical elements and who was
not even nominated for that high office by
any party or convention.
4. It Is possible in this three-party
contest for the third party—by whatever
other name it may be called—to develop
its strength in a tew states bo as virtually
to vitiate the nationally developed and
exercised strength of the other two parties,
and thus to bring into the situation a
dangerous and menacing deadlock.
To the nationally-minded voter any one
of these possibilities is to be viewed with
concern, for any one of them, becoming an
actuality, might seriously afreet our long
established national Institutions by giving
ua a government not of, for, ami by the
people but a government of, for, and by
certain classes, "blocs" or sections of the
country: by opposing to the expressed will
of a majority of the people a government
elected by a minority of the people.
A Prospective Deadlock
One or all of the possibilities we have
named, and several monor ones, might
become actualities in the following way:
If no one of the principal three candi-dates
for the presidency now In the field
secures a majorit y of all the delegates to
the Electora l College,-then the election is
thrown Into the House of Representatives,
In which case we probably should have a
disturbing deadlock, It Is the present House, not the one to bo elected in No-vember,
that would have the choice. It
also should be remembered that In the

Hershey Kinder garten
Opens Monday
The Hershey Kindergarten will open on
Monday, Sept. 22d, in the Hershey Inn
building, first floor, and will be in charge of
Miss Aimeda Phillips, of. Harrisburg. A
number of jkiddies have been enrolled and
Miss Phillips will be glad to have this num-ber
increased.
ITobably no other part of the school
system does its work so'well as the kinder-garten,
which deals with children generally
between 4 and 6 years of age. It was
planned by a very wise man, Freidrich
Frobel, and it has been part of our system
for, fifty years. Cheap witticisms have
often been turned against the kindergarten,
with its babies, its enthusiastic young
women teachers and its symbolic plays;
but it has been a criticism born of ig-norance.
The principles and practices of
the kindergarten rest in a profound knowl-edge
of child nature, singularly developed
for the time when Frobel lived, and in a
wise vision of the meaning of life.
Any intelligent observer who watches a
good kindergarten for an hour cannot fail
to see the children grow into citizenship in
the little democracy gathered within the
room. And the same qualities will enable
the child when a man to be a good citizen
of Hershey, of the United States and of the
commonwealth of the world, j
Senator Leland Stanford had one son,
who as a little child was sent to a kinder-garten.
So profoundly was, his father
impressed by the training his child received
that he devoted his past fortune to the
creation of Stanford University, which he
conceived as an expansion 'of the kinder-garten
plan to cover the whole period of
life. John Hopkins was established on the
same fundamental principle.
At present this country lack teachers and
money for public education and there is a
tendency everywhere to cut out expense.
School boards are not often made up of
educational experts and they are prone to
say: 'The little ones can wait; they wiVlget
it later."
All the babies in the United States,
American, Irish, Hebrew, German, Czech-slovak
and Italian, must be Americanized.
As many of their alien parents and friends
as can be reached should be drawn to an
understanding and acceptance of our
national language, ideals and practices.
The kindergarten should be extended and
strengthened, just now as never before,
because of the need for an orderly adjust-ment
following the years of disruption
through which we have just passed.
Local Musicians In
Peppy Orchestra
One of the pleasing surprises at the
Hershey Central Theatre last week was
the playing of Phil Fisher's Orchestra,
consisting of eight young men of more than
ordinary musical ability. This orchestra
does not need to take a backseat for any of
the much-touted orchestras of Central
Pennsylvania, in fact, they are entitled to
step right up at the head of the procession.
We know of no orchestra, consisting of
eight pieces, that can compare with this
one. Each player makes his instrument
fairly resound with music that sets one
"ready to go." It's^great stuff. They
don't play classical Jore, or heavy stuff ,
that no small orchestra should ever at-tempt
to play, but they play popular airs
that makes one forget that tomorrow is
another day.
We are pleased to state^that four Her-shey
musicians are members of the Fisher
Orchestra, namely:Frank Colangelo, trom-bone;
Roy Deets, banjo; Jimmy DeAngelis,
saxaphone and Mel, Kiefer, drums.
Other members of the orchestra are Phil
Fisher, trumpet, and who is the leader;
Ted Fisher, trumpet; Russ Rhinehart,
saxophone, and Carl Pickel, piano, who
tickles the ivories like a Paderewski, only
he doesn't play Hungarian rhapsodies.
On Saturday evening, Sept. 27th, this
orchestra will play for dancing at the
Hershey Park dancing pavilion. If you
want to dance to real, snappy music, and
are tired of the hum-drum thumpty-thump
kind of dance music that some of
the syncopators dole out only too frequent-ly,
be sure to date up for Saturday evening,
Sept. 27th.
This orchestra is playing at the Park
Theatre this week. If you haven't heard
them, do so. You will enjoy hearing them.
FAITHFUL WORKERS BAKE SALE

A unique program was rendered to a
large number of members nnd friends.
Officers and committees presented favor-able
reports. New members were added
to the rol). It is hoped that this fine spirit
will prevail throughout the coming months.
