              High School Revue
} Went Over Big
Nearly a thousand persons witnessed the
revue that was presented by the pupils of
the Hershey High School in the Hershe y
Central Theatre on Friday afternoo n and
evening, which was directed by Mary
Gregg Darrow and Leah H. Burns , both of
whom have unusual abilities enabling
them to successfully present productions
of the more than usual merit.
The feminine members of the chorus in
the revue were a delight to behold , and it
was most difficult to decide whethe r it
wasTreva Disc, Antionette Bilotta , Esther
Magrini , Lois Gilman , Mildred Hocker,
Dorothy Bohner , Marion Hess, Estelle
Smith , Lillian Ricker or Viola Edris who
was the outstandin g show girl. One never
before realized that there were so many
beautiful girls in Hershe y until the curtain
arose on Friday evening and str ikingly
emphasized the fact.
As for the male members of the chorus,
which consisted of Russell Aungst, Russell
Stuckey, Thomas Drescher , Roy Dundore ,
Marlyn Herbst , Paul Belser, John Bom-gardner
, Russell Tinney, William Spangler
and Carl Hughes, they made a most hand-some
background for the girl members of
the chorus.
The chorus was well trained and could
sing, not in the timorous and uncertain
manner , which is generall y the case with
amateur productions , but with a manner
that was almost professional , with a vim
and dash that was most pleasing.
The principals were Lucille Gilman ,
who not only is charmin g in appearance ,
but who also has a char ming soprano voice;
Mildred Hocker , who is as vivacious as she
is good looking; Alex. Magrini , who has a
tenor voice of unu sual calibre ; and Earl
Hackman , George Zeigler and Miles Long,
all three of which have splendid voices.
Edward Shea enacted the comedy role,
-v and he kept the audie nce convulsed with
•^laughter with his drolleries and humorous
songs, and he took down the house in
particular with his song number "Aren 't
You Ashamed."
Ja mes DeAngelis, with his saxaphone,
and his younger brother Victor , with his
accordian which is almost as big as himself,
were pronounced hits of the evening. These
two lads certai nly are born musicians and
when they play one must sit up and take
notice. Victor may. not be a Pedro , but
he is a close second, besides he is but eight
years old, and as he says "Me learn every-day,
but no take lessons."
The song number by Miss Dorothy
Haybaker , a little tot in her teens, "What 's
the Use of Being Good" , was such that the
audience couldn 't get enough and she had
to give three encores and make several
bows. Another song number that pleased
was that of Master William Graeff and
Httle Miss Rut h Frehn , in "Old Fashioned
Garden. "
There were two outsta nding numbers on
the program in which two little girls, Vera
Miller , six years old, and Ruth Frehn ,
seven years old, exemplified the latest
steps in toe dancin g. Both of these little
artists demonst rated their talent and
trainin g, and they, as might have been
expected, captured the house, judging by
¦t he spontaneous applause. The dancin g number by John Gilman,
the dancer par excellence, and Miss Myrtle
Zimmerman , whose grace and artistr y
none can dispute , gave an exhibition that
'¦W was dever , as was the dancin g number by t Marion Hess, Dorothy Bohner , Viola
Edris and Mildred Freh n.
Miss Kathr yn Miller was at the piano
and it was throu gh the excellence of her
work to a great extent is due the gratifying
success of the revue.
The proceeds of the revue will be for the
Senior Washin gton trip, that will be made
after graduation this Spring.
Unable To Keep
Up With Hershey
Mr. J. App, the Dauphin Count y Super-intendent
of School, visited the Hershey
Consolidated Schools this week , and seeing
a number of men doing excavating work in
the near vicinitv of the present school
building , asked Prof. A. M. Hlnkel, the
supervisin g principal:
''What are those men doing, Professor "?
"Going to build a High School building",
was the reply.
"A High School buildin g", rejoined Mr.
App. In amazem ent, "And why do you
need a new one, isn't this one big enough
foryou?"
Prof. Hinkel was rather non-plust *i that
the Superintendent of the ScWtJa of
Dauphin count y should know nothin g
about the erection of the High School
Itafru ilding, whidi will cost approximately
' $400,000, and moreover should be ignorant
of the fact concerning the crowded condi-tions
of the present school buildin g, which
is so crowded that it ia quite impossible to
place another desk in any of the study
rooms and which has necessitated utilizing
two lar ge rooms on the first floor of the
Hershey Inn buildin g to care for twjAnter-mediato
grades.
The Hikin g Club of the Herahe y High
School has ngnln taken up its hiking for the
sprin g, This Club is under the efficient
direction of Miss Cleora McKlnatr y, the
physical director , who is always wll ing to
do any extra work she may be asked to do.
Any women of the town who cure to Join
are asked to give their names to Miss
McKlna try, ana come along on the hikes
and have good time.

The fundamental and basic reason for
a dean-up campaign is to diminate and to
exterminate the fly. The success of the
campaign therefore depends upon the
results of our efforts in this direction and
going another step farther , these results
are contingent upon the success realized in
destroying the breedin g place of the fly.
Flies breed in filth—therefore , filth
should be removed. Nicety per cent of
House Flies are bred in the manure of
horse stables and hog pens. Manure
should be removed twice a week during the
fly season. Privies to which flies nave
access afford the double clanger of offering
a breeding place and focus for the spread of
disease, if we would get rid of flies the
rational thin g to do is to completely re-move
every manure heap, to empty privy
vaults , to promptly remove garbage , to
dean up all filth and dirt before the flies
begin to breed. «
Fly traps should b; placed in locations
where conditions attractive to flies exist.
They are easy of construction and should
be kept baited at all times. A piece of
banana peel (moist), a little syru p that has
started to ferment , or the head offish make
excellent bait.
Sticky fly paper will materially hdp to
reduce the adult fly population. Strips
suspended from the ceiling are the best Ay
catchers.
All doors and windows should be
screened. Ever y house should have one
or more swatters and they should be used
at every opportunit y.
Flics are a dirty, filthy dangerous enemy
of mankind. It is decided economy to
wage a clean-u p fly campaign as the money
spent annually in doctor bills for prevent-able
diseases carried by flies would more
than repay for the complete eradication of
every fly breedin g place.
FIRE COMPANY HOLD QUIET

Death of Harr y Hershey
The community was shocked last week
upon receipt of information that Harry
Hershey, who was spending the winter
months in Florida , had died in Jac kson-ville.

Tuesday evening, seemingly in the best of
health. The next morning he was found

Legion Card Part y
The card playing public of Hershey will
be ddighted to learn that Hershey Post,
No. 386, American Legion, will hold a
"500" card party on next Monday evening,
in the Red Cross Rooms. These parties

past and the committee in charge is bend-ing
every effort to make this one, to use the
old circus slogan, "bigger and better in
every way ." A number of beautiful
prizes are being secured for the occasion,
the first prize being a handsome hand-embroidered
bed spread. With the long
winter evenings rapidly being replaced by
the more pleasant summer evenings, this
party will probably be the last one of the
season, so everyone is invited to come out
and enjoy themselves'. Don't forget the
time and place, Monday evening, April 7,
at 8.15, Hershey Red Cross Rooms.

Shooting Match to be
Saturda y Afternoon
The Lebanon Valley Fish & Game
Protective Association will hold a shooting
match at Derry Church Hotd on Saturday
afternoon , April 5th, at 1 o'dock. The
prizes will consist of a shoat, two pigs,
turkeys , geese, ducks and chickens. The
same rules will be in effect as at.the shootin g
match hdd last month , at which several
hundred sportsmen were in attendance. -
The Association invites every sportsman
in Hershey and vicinity to attend this
match. Inasmuch as the proceeds will be
for a worthy object , tha t of buying rabbits ,
pheasants and fish, to hdp re-stock the
fields, mountains and streams with more
game, should be ail the more incentive for a
large attendance on Saturday afternoon.
The committee in charge has made
every effort to again put on a shooting
match par excellence, and will be disap-
Cointed if the crowd is not of record-reakin
g proportions.
Y. W. C. A. Will Hold
Membership Campaign
The membership committee of the
Hershey Y. W. C. A. is now conducting its
annual membership solidtation. If you
are a member, and have not been called
upon for your renewal, one of the commit-tee
will be to see you and solidt your
membership.
If you have never been a member, or
have been a member in past years and
allowed your membership to expire, will
you hdp the work by sending your sub-scription
to Mrs. Howard Romig, chair-man
of the committee, or to any member of
the committee you may know, or to the
treasurer , Miss Mabd Lingle.

Hummel Wins
Another Victory
Lester Hummel participated in the
main preliminary on the Pioneer Athletic
Club' s bill on Monday evening, with
Jimmy Mende, of Trenton , which was one
of the greatest preliminaries ever seen in
Harrisburg, which was won by Hummel.
Hummel sent the Trenton lad to the
canvas in die second round. Jimmy
refused to take a count and Hummel
rocked him all over the ring during the
remaining minutes of the round. Hutnmel
led again in the third due to his ability to
land a nifty left jab. In the fourth Jimmy
sent Hummd to the floor for the count of
nine and this session went to the J ersey lad.
The fifth was Hummd' s and the sixth and
seventh were even. In the final , Hummd
got the edge again.
Hummel , according to the Harri sburg
papers , has three qualifications of a good
fighter, a punch , a dever defense and an
accumulation of gray metter.
Revue To Be Repeated
A number of requests have come to
Prof. A. M. Hinkel , Supervising Prindp al
of the Hershey Schools, to the effect that
the Musical Revue that was given by the
pupils of the High-Sch ool last Friday eve-ning
be repeated. This is very gratifying
—the thought that their efforts have
pleased to such an extent.as to warrant a
repetition. The Revue will accordingl y
be restaged Tuesday evening, April lb,
at the Central Theatre.
ELIAS L. BOMGARDNER SELLS
RESIDENCE
Ellas L. Bomgardner , who has been
identified with the Hershey Chocolate
Company since 1903, and who resigned
last Spring, has sold his property to Rudy
Behm, of Palmyra , and will move to the
Bomgardner farm near Hummelstown.
In Mr. Bomgardner , the town will lose a
highly respected citizen. He was identi-fied
with numerous activities , and his loss
will be most keenly felt at the Lutheran
Church , having been the superintendent of
the Sunday School for a number of years.
He was a cheerful , willing and a faithful
worker and he was a man beloved by all.

Why Not Hold a Marble
Shooting Contest
A marble shooting contest will be hdd in
Harrisburg, the winner of which will be
sent to Atlantic City to compete in the
National Marble Shooting Contest to be
hdd this coming summer.
Glen Stover won the local championship
last year, and issued a challenge to play a
series of games with the marble champions
of Palmyra , Hummdstown , Lebanon and
Harrisburg, but nothing came of it.
Last year the contest was hdd under the
auspices of the management of the Hershey
Central Theatre. This year jhe champion
should be sent to Atlant ic City. We
believe that there would be no difficulty
of making financia l arrangemen ts in order
to do this.
Six Days Tonight
One o the outstanding productions of
the present season is Goldwyn 's production
of "Six Days", an original screen story
written by the famous English novelist,
Elinor Glyn, author of "Three Weeks"
and other sensation al novds which will be
shown at the Hershey Centr al Theatre on
Thursday (tonight) .^ :«! - . , . <
The story concerns Laline Kingston , an
American sodety girl, whose scheming and
extravagant mother forces her into an
engagement with Sir Charle s Chetwyn , a
wealthy Englishma n, after the financial
failure and suidde of her husband. But
in Paris, Laline meets and falls in love with
Dion Lselie, son of a famous actress appear-ing
there and at one time the wife of Sir
Charles. Years before she had left him
and taken her son with her. This son now
falls head over heds in love with the girl
his father is engaged to marry. Alter
visiting the grave of Laline 's brother who
fell in the Great War , she and Dion are
taken through the battlefield trenches by
an aged priest who acts as their guide. In
one of the German dugouts , Laline touche s
a helmet hanging on the wall, which
springs a concealed mine. The explosion
loosens tons of earth which impriso ns the
three in the dugout. Facing cert ain death,
as soon as the air is exhauste d, Laline and
Dion are married by the priest shortly
before the latter 's death from shock and
injury. As a result of a further cave-in,
Dion falls into a chalk mine whither Laline
follows him. While he is seeking an outlet,
they become separated. Each is finally
rescued , Laline weak and exhausted , Dion
out of his head. Believing Dion dead,
Laline 's mother forces her, by a threat of
suidde , to marry Sir Charles. Dion
recovers his health and his senses and flies
to claim his bride.
"Six Days" may confidently be assert ed
to be one of the big pictures of the year.
His Children's Children
The Sam Wood Paramount production ,
"His Children 's Children ," featurin g Bebe
Danids, Dorothy Mackill , James Rennie
and George Fawcett and a picturization of
Arthur Train 's novel ot that name, which
will be shown at the Hers hey Central
Theatre on Saturday evening, April 5th,
treats not of the commonplace story of the
"ric h man's son," but of the new problem
in American life, the third generation—the
generation that exemplifies the old saying,
'it is only three generations from shir t-sleevest
o shirtsleeves." < The picture shows how the great fortune
of a pioneer railroa d builder—a typical
American figure—rea cts through a smug
second generation, and in violent, sudden
and complete dissension, shatters the
whole family to pieces in the third genera-tion—
the jazz gener ation of the present
day. It is not only one of the most sensa-tional
and melodram atic novds of recent
times, but it is the truest indictm ent of
American sodety penned since the first
novds of Theodore Drdser.
This production is vested with a cast and
general equipm ent in keeping with the
story itself. Some of the amazing features
which go to make it intensdy interesting,
unique and appealing include an allegorical
shot of the banquet of Croesus, richest man
of ancient history, ah exact duplicate of the
first Pullman priv ate car and the tragic
death of old Peter B. Kayne. The picture
locations, almost every one of New York
and Long Island , are real. In this respect
the production is most remarkable ,
Playing in suppor t of the prindpals is
one of the strongest casts ever assembled
for picture purposes. It includes Hale
Hamilton , Mar y Eaton , Mahlon Hamilton ,
Katheryn Lean. Warner Oland , John
Davidson and a long liat of others, all wdl
known artists of both stage and screen.
Don't Call t Love
The Paramount picture "Don 't Call It
Love," a William de Mille production
which will be shown at the Hershe y Cen-tral
Theatre on Tuesda y evening, April 8,
is a story of love and artistic temperament.
It takes you righ t into the intimate and
private life of a hot-blooded , hot-tempered
opera dnger who has as many loves as she
has gowns—and that' s going some. Nita
Naldl plays the prima donna and the chap
who falls into, her silken lovenet ia Jack
Holt, as Richard Fairish. Agnes Ayres, as Alice Mcldrum , Porrish' s fiancee, Rod
La Rocque and Theodore Kosloff aa the
impresario are all featured.
4 Here 's the story—Rita Coventry Is a
poor girl with a rich voice and marvelous
beaut y. Going to Atlantic City, after ten
yenrsr study In Paris where her friends had
sent her , in compan y with Parrish , she
meets a handsome young Iri shman who
comes to tune the piano in her hotd suite.
Her vampin g tactics are ignored and this
piques the proud Rita. She learns that he
is a pianist and composer and induce s hlra
to play for her. He is wonde rful. She
falls for him, Ignorin g Parrish now. De-laney,
however , Is fitlll contemptuous. But
in the end Rita "lands him " and Richard
seeing the folly of his actions , returns
diame-f accd to Alice and pleads with her
to receive him back—aa she does do.
"Don 't Call It I.ove" has a distinctive
appeal and does not depend on the dam-bang
dapatlck for humor either. Clara
Beranger adapted the story from Julian
Street 'a novel, "Ri ta Coventry,'*

W. R. Gordon, the rural organization
extension representative of the Pennsyl-vania
State College, spoke on "The Key to
Community Success in Rural and Urban
Communities," who was introduced by R.
T. Burtner , Dauphin County Farm Agent.
Mr. Gordon has been affiliated with com-munity
organization work for a number of
years and was thoroughly familiar with the
community problems and their solution.
He particularly emphasized that it was in
able leadership that the success of an
organization was realized. He eulogized
the town of Hershey, saying that it has few
if any prototypes , for Hershey was an
industrial community of 2500 people actu-ally
without a tenement or a slum, where
every reddent realizes his equity and
joint inter est in the combined natural and
created beauties of nature. The town was
plann ed and zoned before building work
was begun. The town has no litter , abso-lute
cleanliness is every where in evidence.
There are no rickety sheds, no tin Tcans
decorating vacant lots, no waste paper
lying about , no ash heaps or junk piles.
In Hershey there were no stores usurping
locations between houses, no apartment
houses cutting off neighboring dwellings,
for dty zon.ng and planning had been
worked out to an ideal condstent with the
character and means of the town.
Mr. Gordon is an able and interesting
speaker , and the large number of persons
present enjoyed his message.
