              What's What
and Who's Who
'' ¦- The- Hershe y Departme nt Store will be
open every evehihg ' this week vintil 9:00
i»?clock. " '. ' ' • :.'¦
: Mr. Hallgren tells us he is receiving ; a
mighty fine lot of oysters thege days. How
about stuffin g that turkey, duck , goose or
chicken with ostreoid " bivalves. Some
dainty dish to set down to, we are thinkin g.
These are busy days at the Hershe y
postoffice. Postmaster Balsbaugh and
his assistants , Miss Bessie "Mbyer .'Chas.
Peiffer , Miss Mary Painter , Amos Lehman,
Ed. Hoffman and Ulrich Weltmer , are
putting forth every effort to deliver Santa
Claus' mail on time.
Sam. Gilepo, who kept everything spic
and span at the Hershe y Men's Club, un-derwent
an operation at the Philadel phia
Hospital. He is coming along nicely, and
trusts-to be back on the job after the first
of the year. Amos Brandt , of Palmyra , is
looking after things at the Men's Club in
the absence of Mr. Gilepo. .
Paul Shultz and Lewis Emerick came
home with ducks under their arms on Sat-urda
y, havin g won these at the shooting
contest at Swatara. Honus Moyer and
Ed. Lewis were winners of geese.
A. treasur er-bearing caravan , as great as
any which journeyed to pay homage to
King Solomon, forms one of the big feat-tures
of "The Loves of Pharaoh ," a tre-mendous
picture to be seen at the Hershe y
Central Theatre on Christmas Night, Dec.
25th, at 7:30 o'clock. This treasure is the
wedding dowry of Samlak , King of the
Ethio pians, who hopes to mar ry his daugh-ter
Makeda to Amenes, Pharaoh of Egypt.
But the marria ge is frustrated and Samlak
in anger, makes war upon Egypt. The
picture is filled with thrills and burning
love interest , and is an Ernest Lubi tsch
production. Emil Jannings plays Ameries,
Paul Wegener is Samlak , while others
prominent in the cast are Dagny Servaes
and Harr y Liedtke.
Railroad and State Highway officials on
Monda y made a final inspection of the big
viaduct built at Swatara Station. As a
result of the inspection the roadwa y was
opened for traffic. The new viaduct does
away with the last but one grade crossin g
on the Reading between Harrisbur g and
Reading. The only existing grade crossing
is at Avon and this one too, will probably
disap pear within the next year or two.
Mrs. George Decker t and Harry Rudy
were excurs ionists to Philadel phia on Sun-day.
Edwin Wagner has purchased the AI.
Wirth pro perty on Chocolate Avenue,
which was offered for sale on Saturda y,
December "9th". """Mr Wa'gnerwas the only
bidder.
One of the scenes in "The Fast Mail" ,
which will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral
Theat re on Saturda y evening, Dec. 23
rd , at 7:45 o'clock, is adapted from the
famous poem "Jim Bludso" written by the
late Joh n Hay. This is the spectacular
scene which shows the race between the
"Memphis " and the-"Robert E. Lee", the
two famous Mississippi steamboats. The
blowing up of the "Memphis " is an actual
occurenc e.
Anothe r pocket-bi lliardist has macle his
appearanc e, who is none other than "Shor-ty
" Newcomer. On Monday evening at
the Hersh ey Fire House "Short y" trimmed
Clarence Wiley decisively, and then took
on Ben Beidleman , who is some shark. Ben
was a poor .second.
How would you like to be the milk man
these cold mornin gs? We hear Mr. Reilly
jangling the milk bottles about 3:30 o'clock
not every mornin g, but "some" mornings ,
as he pulls up at place. We roll over
for a anot her snooze, mighty thankful
we're telling you, that we are not the milk
man. He tells us he gets out of his warm
covers about 2:30 o'clock every morning.
It must be an invigoratin g feeling to breath
the icy air at this time in the mornin g.
Joe Brewer, George Schroll , Doc Henny
ani Stwear t Mahen are the champion
pinnochle players of the Hershey Volun-teer
Fire Co. Dan Hershey, Jim Putt ,
Paul Edri s and Fred Gipe are near con-tend
ers, We would suggest that the Fire
Compan y hold a pinnochle contest in order
to sort the sheep from the goats.
William Fr edericks was on the sick list
for the past week. He is on the job again.
If you are in the market for a good auto-mobile
,Mr. Frede rick s will be glad to sell
It to you, as he handles the Overland and
the Wlllys-Knlg ht.

The more persons that come out,
the Sooner we will get done. Don't let it

MUSICAL PROGRAM FOR MORN -
ING SERVICE SUNDAY, DEC.24th
'the Fast Mail"
on Saturday
There can be no doubt about the enter-tainment
value, of "The Fast Mail," the
William Fox melodrama which will be
shown at the Hershey Central Theatre on
Saturday evening, December 23rd. It is
action plus and contains enough thr ills to
satisfy even the most critical movie fan.
"The Fast Mail ," which was produced
fron i Lincoln J . Carter 's senastional rail-road
melodrama, is even better than the
original play which xan't far twent y-two
seasons. All the thrills that delighted the
popular love for exciting melodram a are
shown on the screen with the realism which
could not be attempted on the stage.
There is not a dull moment in the entire
film. Climax follows climax, and thrill
mounts on thrill during the course of this
cyclonic melodrama. "The Fast Mail"
crowded the famous Strand Theatre in
New York City for an entire week and
proved that good, strong melodrama is just
as popular with the present generation and
with it as with the theatre goers of other
days.
Tie story starts at the historic Dixie
Land Steeplechase and pictures some of the
fastest dare-devil riding ever shown on the
screen. The hero was fouled during the
running of the girl he loved. Crooked
gamblers who had the girl's brother in their
power had fixed the race, so that they
would win the money.
During an argument over the division of
the stake, one of the gamblers is shot and
the other one decoys the heroine into an
automobile. The hero follows and the
most exciting pursuit ever screened follows.
The picture is real , hair-raising thriller and
in the words of William Fox, its producer ,
is an "Honest Melodrama. "
It is worth seeing more than once.
"The Loves of
Pharaoh " on Xmas
Three men can stand on top of each
other in the ear of the massive sphinx built
under the direction of Ernest Lubitsch for
his most pretentious production "The
Loves of Pharaoh, " a big Param ount pic-ture
which will be on view at the Hershey
Central Theatre on Christmas night, Mon-day,
December 25th.
The man who created a sensation with
his masterful direction of such spectacular
pictures as "Passion " and "Deception " has
chosen Egypt for his background in this
fascinating romance of a king who married
the serving maid of the princess he was
supposed to marr y.
An entire Egyptian city was constructed ,
with about fifty buildings , for the filming
of the picture . Built-wi th historical ac-curacy
and architecturall y correct , it was
not expected thatthesemotion picturesett-ings
would be so enthusiasticall y endorsed
by scholars and school teachers , or that
classes in ancient history would study them
for their Egyptian architecture. Yet this
actuall y happened at the film city which
Lubitsch built.
More than one hundred thousand pers-sons
are seen in the spectacular battle
scenes between the Egyptia ns and the in-vading
Ethio pians. Paul Wegener , who
enacted "The Golem" creates a colorful
role as King of Ethiopia , Emil Jannings ,
seen as an English king in "Deception ,"
appears as Pharaoh , Harry Liedtke , seen
with Pola Negri in "The Last Payment]"
and Dagny Servaes , leading woman have
great parts in this Egyptian romance. And
all these men center their attentions upon
a new blonde beaut y, Dagny Servaes , said
to be the most attractive of the screen ac-tresses
Ernest Lubitsch has introduced to
America.
School children

On Thur sday and Saturday evenings of
this week the pupils of the Hershey
Schools will sing carols at the Hershey
Department Store , beginning at 7:30

Is There a
Santa Claus
Thirty years ago a little girl named
Virginia O'Hanlon wrote to the "New
York Sun" and asked:
"Some of my little friends say there is no
Santa Claus,
Please tell me the truth , is there a Santa
Claus?"
. The reply was in the form of an editorial
from the pen of the brilliant Frank P.
Church , one of the editors of "The Sun."
It is one of the greatest things in American
literature , and we reprint it here so that all
children may know that "Santa Claus lives
and lives forever ":
"Virgini a, your little friends are wrong .
They have been affected by the skepticism
of a skeptical age. They do not believe
except they see. They think that nothing
can be which is not comprehensib le by
their little minds. All minds, Virgini a,
whether they be men's or children's, are
little. In this great universe of ours, man
is a mere insect, an ant , in his intellect, as
compared with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelligence cap-able
of grasping the whole of truth and
knowledge.
"Yes, Virginia , there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and gener-osity
and devotion exist, and you know
that they abound and give to your life its
highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary
would be the world if there were no Santa
Claus? It would be as dreary as if there
were no Virginias. There would be no
childlike faith then , no poetry, no romance ,
to make tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment except in sense
and sight. The. eternal Jight withuwhich.
childhood fills the world would be extin-guished.
"Not/believe in Santa ClausI You might
as. well not believe in fairies! You might
get your papa to hire men to watch in all
the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch
Santa Claus , but even if they did not see
Santa Claus coming down, what would
that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus,
but that is no sign that there is no Santa
Claus. The most real things in the world
are those that neither children nor men
can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing
on the lawn? Of course not. But that' s
no proof they are not there , Nobody, can
conceive or imagine all the wonders there
are unseen and unseeable in the world,
"You tear apart the baby 's rattle and
see what makes the noise inside, but there
is a veil covering the unseen world which
not the strongest men that ever lived could
tear apart. Only faith , fancy, poetry, love,
romance , can push aside that curtain and
view and picture the supernal beauty and
glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia ,
in all this world there is nothing else real
and abi ding,
"No Santa ClausI Thank God, he lives
and he lives forever. A thousand years
from now, Virginia , nay, ten times ten
thousand years from now, he will continue
to make glad the heart of childhood. "
A Merry Christmas
to You All
By John Hallgran
When glittering Stars are twinkling high
Above the snowclad , froz en nor th ;
And shimmering crystals from the sky
The icy winds are bringing forth ;
When from the woods the sapling pine
Is rai sed In every home and hall
Bedeck ed with lights and tinsel fine,
"A merr y Chri stmas to you all!"
When over the hills the spirits swing
Of charity, Joy and festive cheer
And lofty chimes in chorus ring '
Announ cing Yuletide now la here.
The time when human hearts grow mild
With reverance for traditions call
To join the pleasures of the child,
"A merry Chris tmas to you all!"
To you, who from the virgin soil
Brou ght forth this pride of lofty homes,
To you who staked your life on'toll
And you who greets him when he comes
With youngsters who are glad to see
Old Santa Claus and hear him call
From all around the Christmas Tree—•
"A merr y Christmas to you alll"
