Here's a big, lavish, romantic drama that shows you the start-ling answers, that whirls along to gripping-ly dramatic climaxes through scenes of riotous gayety. "Children of Jazz" has an all star cast, bevies of beautiful women in stunning gowns', and the season's most novel and up-to-the-second plot. Give the Olivets a boost by your pat-ronage this evening (Thursday). Win.

The three men were disappointed, the majority of the people were not at home, and those who wore at home, gave but little. Another trip was made on Tuesday eve-ning, with the same results. Surely, all of us should get back of this Fair—the purpose of this Fair la too pay off the $500 on the new fire engine, If you have something around the house that you have no use for, wrap it up, and bring it to "Poacy" Flowers at the Hershey Transit Company's waiting room, or' else bring it with you on Tuesday evening.

As it is, it will be lota of fun , so don't forget Tuesday evening. There won't be anj^ room on the floor for free dancing on this evening, and besides— . . . Wednesday evening will be the one big opportunity for the dance exponents. At a great expense the famous Masqueraders, of Reading, were secured for this dance, for it is going to be a Masquerade, and judging from what we hear it ia going to be ''some" nwiqueradc, The girls are going to be dolled up in costumes most enchant-ing, most captivating, most alluring, most bewitching, most bizarre, and, possibly, most daring. It will bo good for sore eyes. Of course the young men will be there, and will add to the merriment of the evening's pleasure.

It la said this orchestra will make you dance until it's time to take in the milk. As a special incentive, n door prize wll be given away on each evening during the fair. Your patronage will be appreciated, ., "Back-Bone " Thrillin g North Countr y Drama Presentation of "Backbone," the Dis-tinctive Pictures special feature which is announced for the Hershey Central Theatre for Saturday evening, Oct. 20th, is an event of triple significance. It is the first of the 1923 programme of twelve big pictures to be made by the Distinctive Corporation, now famous for the merit of its output; it marks the screen debut of Alfred Lunt, celebrated young actor of the legitimate stage; and it is the first of the Distinctive product to be distributed by the Goldwyn Corporation by the terms of a new arrangement between these two dominant companies. "Backbone" is the type of picture for which there is an ever-growing demand— stralght-from-the-shouldcr drama, un-spoiled by false touches, powerful in story, intelligently directed and entertaining throughout. It Is a fine vehicle for the screen, debut qf Lunt, who" made himself famous overnight for his part in the Booth TarWngton comedy, "Clarence," and who combines ability to act with a tremendous amount of good looks, In addition to Lunt the picture has, as a feminine lead, the dainty and beautiful Edith Roberts, who has been building up a retinue of admirers across the Continent! since she was thirteen years old. The cost supporting these two stars is considered one of the moat distinctive ever assembled for a single picture, and includes such well-known actors and screen favorites as Wm. B. Mack, Frank Evans, George Mnc- Quarrle, Marlon Abbott James D. Doylo, Charles Fang, L. E. LaCroix, Hugh Hunt-ley and J. WT Johnson. The story deals with the fulfillment in the Twentieth Century of the love of two young people who lived generations ago in olden France. In proving that romance never dies, Clarence Budington Kelland , who wrote the romance originally for the Saturday Evening Post, has evolved nn absorbing tale In which all the elements of mystery, criminal cunning and honest "backbone" cornea Into conflict.

The famous Sistine Chapel Choir, which gives a concert in the Hershey Convention Hall on Sunday afternoon, October 21st, at 2.00 o'clock, is the oldest musical organization in the world and its history and traditions extend back to the misty-ages, almost before Rome had thrown off the shackles of paganism. It is now touring the world to render compositions that cannot be heard outside of Rome, and to stimulate an appreciation of all that is best in music. It is the proud boast of the Sistine Chapel Choir that never in its long history has it ever pandered to the debased faste of different periods by singing a note of music that -flavored of the profane or inconsequential. The melodies which for centuries have been untouched by the hand of man take on fresh beauties from the vivid personali-ty and almost miraculous skill of the gifted maestro, Monsignor Rella, whose baton Hershey a memorable one. . The program for Sunday afternoon 's concert is the same as that which will be given at Carnegie Hall, New York, to-night, which is as follows: PART I 1. Greetings to the American People... Refice (Specially composed for the American Tour) 2. TuEsPetrus (Thou Art Peter)..P erosi "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock, I shall build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it; and to Thee shall I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven." 3. O Salutaris Hostia (O Saving Victim) Perosi "O saving Victim, opening wide The gate of heaven to man below, Our foes press in from every side; Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow. "To Thy great name be endless praise, directs and example stimulates into ever increasing excellence the offerings of the world renowned Sistine Chapel Choir of the Vatican, Rome. Monsignor Rella is the pronounced peer of the composer-director, Monsignor Perosi, and in Vatican circles is looked upon as the logical suc-cessor to that great maestro. Those who have visited Rome and been Crivileged to hear the Sistine Chapel Choir, ave not only been charmed but astonished at the perfect taste, harmony and dignity "Alleluia! God has ascended amidst jubilation; and the Lord with the sound of trumpets. Alleluia! The Lord is among his own, in Sinia, in the holy place. Thou hast ascen-ded on high. He took captivity cap-tive." Interval of ten minutes PART II 7. Domine Jesu Christie (O Lord, Jesus Christ) Perosi "Grant that they, O Lord, from death may pass to life. O Lord Jesus Christ, King of Glory, liberate the souls of all the faithful from the pains of hell and from the depth of the pit ; deliver them from the mouth of the lion, lest hell swallow them up, lest they fall into darkness. But let Thy Standard-bearer, Saint Michael, pre-sent them into the holy light, which of old was promised to Abraham and his " seed. We offer to Thee, O Lord, our prayers and a sacrifice. Do Thou accept them for those souls whom to-day we commemorate. Grant that they, O Lord, from death may pass to Immortal Godhead, one in three, life " O grant us endless length of days, In Thy true native land with Thee. Amen." 4. Laudate Dominum (Praise the Lord) Palestrina "Praise the Lord because He is kind. Sing to His name because gentle is He. All whatsoever he wished, He made in heaven and earth." 5. Benedictus qui venit (Blessed Is He) Perosi "Blessed is He who cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest." 6. Alleluia (An express of rejoicing)—For 2 Choirs Perosi 8. Tota Pulchra Es (All Fair Thou Art) Palestrina "All fair thou art, my beloved, and stain is not in thee. Come from Libanus, my spouse, come, thou shalt be crowned from the top of Amana, from the heighth of Sanir, and Her-mon, from the den of the lions and the mountains of the leopards." 9. Ave Maria (Hail, Mary) Vittoria "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen." which pervade the whole of their offerings and reveal a composition which can only be attributed to the genius of sacred elegiac poetry and the almost supernal inspiration of their gifted director. The selection and union of the gems of the great composers into one happy and harmonious offering, possessing perfect and progressive unity of idea, adorn with most appropriate and harmonizing epi-sodes and executed with faultless skill and technique, cannot but prove a happy medium of introduction amongst us of this famous organization and make its visit to 10. Exultate DSb (Exult in God) Palestrina "Exult in God, our helper. Sing aloud to the God of Jacob. Take a psalm and bring hither the timbrel: the harp so pleasant, wing the lyre. On the feast of the new moon, blow the trumpet—on the great day of your solemnity." Whether you are musical or not you cannot go wrong in hearing the concert of the Sistine Chapel Choir at Hershey Park Convention Hall on Sunday afternoon, October 21st, at 2.00 o'clock. The appeal of the Choir is universal and to everybody. The voices are the very best to be had in the entire world and their singing is a revelation of concentrated vocaT achieve-ment. Their visit here will not only be an education to our music lovers, but at the same time an education to most of our choir directors and singers. Everything that the Choir sings in heavenly. The balance of tone, the even and perfect blend in all registers, the attacks and releases, and their ensembles are beyond criticism. Their Latin enunciation is distinct in each vowel and consonant. One feels that every member sings with feeling and precision. To accommodate the many who will come from outside towns the P. & R. R. R. will run excursion trains at special rates from Bethlehem, AUentown, Reading, Lebanon, Harrisburg, Lykens and inter-mediate points. - Tickets for the concerts are going rapidly. Choirs from Sunbury, York, Lancaster, Reading, Lock Haven, Harris-burg and Lebanon are attending in a body, as are the glee clubs of Dickinson College, Millersville Normal and other colleges. We would advise you to obtain your seats NOW from Mr. J. B. Sollenberger, at the Hershey Trust Co. Prices, $1.10, $1.65, $2.20 and a few at $2.75, including tax. 5000 Audience To Hear the Sistine Choir at Hershey Convention Hall Sunday Afternoon

The famous Sistine Chapel Choir, which gives a concert in the Hershey Convention Hall on Sunday afternoon, October 21st, at 2.00 o'clock, is the oldest musical organization in the world and its history and traditions extend back to the misty-ages, almost before Rome had thrown off the shackles of paganism. It is now touring the world to render compositions that cannot be heard outside of Rome, and to stimulate an appreciation of all that is best in music. It is the proud boast of the Sistine Chapel Choir that never in its long history has it ever pandered to the debased faste of different periods by singing a note of music that -flavored of the profane or inconsequential. The melodies which for centuries have been untouched by the hand of man take on fresh beauties from the vivid personali-ty and almost miraculous skill of the gifted maestro, Monsignor Rella, whose baton Hershey a memorable one. . The program for Sunday afternoon 's concert is the same as that which will be given at Carnegie Hall, New York, to-night, which is as follows: PART I 1. Greetings to the American People... Refice (Specially composed for the American Tour) 2. TuEsPetrus (Thou Art Peter)..P erosi "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock, I shall build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it; and to Thee shall I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven." 3. O Salutaris Hostia (O Saving Victim) Perosi "O saving Victim, opening wide The gate of heaven to man below, Our foes press in from every side; Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow. "To Thy great name be endless praise, directs and example stimulates into ever increasing excellence the offerings of the world renowned Sistine Chapel Choir of the Vatican, Rome. Monsignor Rella is the pronounced peer of the composer-director, Monsignor Perosi, and in Vatican circles is looked upon as the logical suc-cessor to that great maestro. Those who have visited Rome and been Crivileged to hear the Sistine Chapel Choir, ave not only been charmed but astonished at the perfect taste, harmony and dignity "Alleluia! God has ascended amidst jubilation; and the Lord with the sound of trumpets. Alleluia! The Lord is among his own, in Sinia, in the holy place. Thou hast ascen-ded on high. He took captivity cap-tive." Interval of ten minutes PART II 7. Domine Jesu Christie (O Lord, Jesus Christ) Perosi "Grant that they, O Lord, from death may pass to life. O Lord Jesus Christ, King of Glory, liberate the souls of all the faithful from the pains of hell and from the depth of the pit ; deliver them from the mouth of the lion, lest hell swallow them up, lest they fall into darkness. But let Thy Standard-bearer, Saint Michael, pre-sent them into the holy light, which of old was promised to Abraham and his " seed. We offer to Thee, O Lord, our prayers and a sacrifice. Do Thou accept them for those souls whom to-day we commemorate. Grant that they, O Lord, from death may pass to Immortal Godhead, one in three, life " O grant us endless length of days, In Thy true native land with Thee. Amen." 4. Laudate Dominum (Praise the Lord) Palestrina "Praise the Lord because He is kind. Sing to His name because gentle is He. All whatsoever he wished, He made in heaven and earth." 5. Benedictus qui venit (Blessed Is He) Perosi "Blessed is He who cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest." 6. Alleluia (An express of rejoicing)—For 2 Choirs Perosi 8. Tota Pulchra Es (All Fair Thou Art) Palestrina "All fair thou art, my beloved, and stain is not in thee. Come from Libanus, my spouse, come, thou shalt be crowned from the top of Amana, from the heighth of Sanir, and Her-mon, from the den of the lions and the mountains of the leopards." 9. Ave Maria (Hail, Mary) Vittoria "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen." which pervade the whole of their offerings and reveal a composition which can only be attributed to the genius of sacred elegiac poetry and the almost supernal inspiration of their gifted director. The selection and union of the gems of the great composers into one happy and harmonious offering, possessing perfect and progressive unity of idea, adorn with most appropriate and harmonizing epi-sodes and executed with faultless skill and technique, cannot but prove a happy medium of introduction amongst us of this famous organization and make its visit to 10. Exultate DSb (Exult in God) Palestrina "Exult in God, our helper. Sing aloud to the God of Jacob. Take a psalm and bring hither the timbrel: the harp so pleasant, wing the lyre. On the feast of the new moon, blow the trumpet—on the great day of your solemnity."
