Mil Want to See "Smilin' Through "Smiluv Through, the great comedy success by Allan Langdon Martin which was originally produced in New York with Jane Cowl and a superlative support-ing cast, has been selected as the offering at the Hershey Park Theatre Monday, Tues-day and Wednesday of next week. "Smil-in' Through" should prove one of,the most attractive productions that has ever been staged here and Manager Braisted is to be congratulated upon his progressiveness in securing so famous a play for presentation locally. It is typical of the progressive spirit that marks all of his efforts at the local playhouse. The story of "Smilin' Through"—after a prologue that is far too unique to be spoiled by being told in advance,,starts in the garden of a crusty old man who has as his ward, a delightful wisp of an Irish girl with all the charm of the central figure in "Peg O* My Heart". For years he has bitterly remembered the fact that another man has won the woman whom he loved. There-fore, when he finds that this girl has fallen in love with the son of the man, he is fur-ious and swears that they shall never marry. Right here, comes in the quaintness of the piece. Back through the hazy film of years that have passed comes memory visualized. He lives over again the years he cannot forget and from them learns the lesson that he had never learned before with the result that, when the young lover returns, he permits them to be happy and, in so doing, finds happiness himself. While there is a sweetness and inimitable charm in the story of "Smilin' Through", the skill with which the characters are drawn is probably the most attractive feature of this great play. It is one play in a hundred. In writing "Smilin" Through" Allan Langdon Martin, the author, has produced some of the most delightful comedy imag-inable. Its quaint humor is of a type that cannot be excelled no matter the play you have in mind. That it will be presented by the Ella Kramer Stock Co. Players so that every possibility it has is brought out, goes without saying. Local theatre-goers are to be congratulated upon being able to see a play as famous as this one and under conditions that will mark its presentation at the Park Theatre. It should prove one of the real great theatrical treats of the season. The Ella Kramer Stock Co. is prepared to present "Smilin' Through" just as it was played by the original company. Not a line has been taken out, not a scene changed so that local theatre-goers will witness a remarkably finished performance at a scale of prices way below that at which hundreds and thousands have willingly purchased tickets. Has-Beens Defeated by the Hopefuls The Derry Presbyterian Sunday School held its picnic on Saturday afternoon, July 14, in the Church Grove. ' A large number enjoyed the games and contests, as well as the good fellowship.

Hershey Makes It Three Strai ght Hershey played the first of an eight-game series with Carlisle on Thursday evening on the Park diamond, with an 8-3 victory. The Hershey team played a splendid game of ball throughout, and seemed to take a liking to Zinn's curves, clouting out 11 hits. Brown hammered out a home run and a 2-bagger. Killinger made a 3- bagger as did Bybee, who made 3 hits during the game. Menear pitched a masterly game, and pulled himself out of a hole on two occa-sions by strikeouts. Brown at short was like a stonewall. He is a wonderful player. We would like to see one of like ability perched on third. The team would-be strengthened consider-ably. Zinn had speed aplenty, but was wild, hitting Hefflefinger and Smith. The Carlisle team is an unusually strong aggregation, and Hershey will have to continue playing real ball in order to win the series A feature of the game was the splendid umpiring by Rinn and Coogan.

A. at Carlisle on Saturday, July 14th, by taking the second game of the series, score 6-1. Zinn, Hasland's star hurler, who was pounded for eleven hits in the first game of the series at Hershey : last Thursday, pitched a great game, allowing but five hits and fanned thirteen men. However, he faltered in the sixth inning, when successive hits by L. Smith, Killinger and H. Brown scored the runs to beat him. Hepting also twirled a masterful game, allowing five hits and retiring seven via the strikeout route. L. Smith and J. Smith led at bat, each getting two hits. The score is as follows: HERSHEY AB R H O A E Killinger, c 5 1 1 10 1 1 H.

Double plays—Yeager to Hart to Yeager Hershey won the third straight game from Carlisle on Tuesday evening on the Hershey diamond, 3-2. Both teams battled scoreless for the first three innings when Carlisle brought In two runs. Hershey met the challenge with a pair of their own. In the sixth Hershey sent the third run across the rubber and Carlisle1 failed to come to the scratch. ' ' ; Menear for Hershey pitched great ball, pulling himself out of a hole in three in-stanccfl with strikeouts with men on bases. Zinn, for Carlisle had plenty of stuff and had control, but Herehey was able to con-nect when hits were needed. The games with Carlisle have been all that the fans could ask for, both teams have played baseball all the winy through, and have pulled off some regular plays, The players arc making good, but what is the matter with the fans? The attendance on Tuesday evening wasn't very large, nothing like what It should have been, Possibly two twilight games a week Is too much for 'the fans, Frankly, we believe they ore, We beHtvednetwlllghtgameond a Saturday afternoon game will be about all that the Hershey fans are able to digest. (Contuiu^wPiwM)' Hersheyite Defeats South American Pugilist A very picturesque exhibition of the manly art of self defense was staged on the Men's Club floor on Tuesday evening, July 24, when L. Garman, Hershey's future champion, scored a technical k. o. over R. Martinez, the South American king of the leather pusher. Garman had the ad-vantage of 15 pounds over Mart, who weighed in at 130 ringside. O Kech officiated. Rount 1—Both fighters were off with the bell, Garman led with a right to the face, Mart blocked a left jab and sent a terrific left towards the solarplexus which Garman evaded. Garman landed right, left and right in quick succession and in return received several left jabs in the region of the heart. Garman missed a left to the body and blocked a haymaker. Garman landed a terrific blow on Mart's head and the latter was getting in some left jabs at the bell. Carman's Round. Round 2—Garman opened with a right upper cut which seemed to annoy Mart who swung wildly and Kech warned him about his low blows. Mart missed a right to the body and Garman handed a left to the head, they clinched and Mart, got in several jabs as both rolled to the floor— Mart landed left , right, left to the head in quick succession which Garman answered with a terrific haymaker. Round even. Round 3—Garman landed right to body, Mart made several successful left jabs to the head and then stopped 2 rights to the face. Garman waded a wild swing and sent a right upper home. Another right upper and Mart seemed dazed but when he saw his chance he pounded Garman amidships and they went into a clinch. Garman was unsuccessful in trying to dodge several left jabs at the bell. Gar-man's Round. Round 4—The right of Garmans evidently had its effect for Mart came out of his corner groggy an easy target for Garman who forced Mart back to his corner with his blows. The crowd began calling for a k. o. but Mart sent home a left which Garman stopped midship, but there was little force left and Garman landed almost at will forcing Mart in his corner and sensing his advantage forced Mart to hide behind his gloves. O. Kech stopped the fight and Carman's arm was raised as a signal of victory after 1 minute and 43-4econds of fighting in the fourth round of their scheduled 5-round decision fight. Presbyterians Will Take a Month Off The Sunday School Board of Derry Presbyterian Church met Monday evening, July 16 with Ethel McCreary, Cocoa Ave. It was decided to observe Rally Day, October 14, in accordance with the plans for Sunday School Week, aa arranged by Pennsylvania Sunday School Association. The special program committee was au-thorized to make proper arrangements for a program. The primary department was given per-mission to procure a sand table for use in the connection with the object lessons. Minor items of business were disposed of, August meeting will be omitted but Sep-tember meeting will be held at the home of S, John Boyer, every member Is urged to be present, , Those present July 14 were: Rev. and Mrs; R. H. fTaylor, Mr/ .and Mrs. I. ,L. Relat, Ethel McCreary, Mrs. E. C. Black, Mrs.'R. 'S. Woomer, S. John Boyer, John M.Stoudt and Ivan L. Mease, '\,. July Baseball Schedule The schedule of the Hershey baseball t1 eam for July Is as follows: Thursday evening, July 19, Columbia nt Hershey. Saturday, July 21, WUUametown at Herehey. Tuesday evening, July 24. Hershey at Palmyra,) Thursday evening, July 26. Hershey at Carlisle. . Saturday, July 28. Rohreratown at Hershey. Tuesday evening, July 31, Carlisle at Hershey, "Jim's Girl" Is a Good, Wholesome Drama Patrons of the Ella Kramer Stock Co. are not usually in the habit of wondering whether they are going to see a good show when visiting their favorite playhouse, so when they make their weekly pilgrimage to the Hershey Park Theatre during the engagement of "Jim's Girl" commencing Monday, it will be no exception, for "Jim's Girl" has been tried, and found "not wanting," and the jury, a large number of the most intelligent of America's playgoers^ have given the verdict, signed and sealed. The story is easily followed, Jim Bed-ford, a volunteer soldier enlists from Rumor, Indiana, heart-whole and fancy free; when he returned to the same little Hoosier municipality, he was minus that very important organ entirely, and "fancy free" had been driven forever from his vocabulary. Mile. Yvonne Henriette Mai-sonave (hereinafter called Yvonne) is the culprit, but the little French girl could hardly be blamed for that, for Jim Bedford is a "man's man" in all that the term im-plies. Jim wooed and won his sweetheart while in France, but embarking orders for America made no provision for Yvonne, for while Jim was ready, willing and anx-ious to make the girl his wife, there was so much official red tape to be unravelled before he could marry, that it is^ almost impossible to do so; nevertheless, he was about to attempt to do the impossible, when his ship sailed. Unbeknown to Jim, but aided and abetted by Jim's buddy, Eddie Fry, Yvonne makes the trip as a stowaway, Jim only finding it out near the end of the voyage; shortly after the girl is discovered and she is to be deported, but makes her escape, finally finding her way to Jim's home where events happen quick-ly, culminating in a happy manner. During the process Eddie also gets a wife; Jim gets a decoration; his mother gets the long end of a business deal, and inci-dentally, the audience gets about two hours and a half of as good wholesome entertain-ment as could be had anywhere at any price. If. B.'s To Picnic on Saturda y, July 28th The United Brethern Sunday School will picnic on Saturday, July 28th, at Valley Glen Park. All members of the Sunday School and their friends. <are in-vited to attend. There will be transpor-tation for all. The following committees were ap-pointed: Transportation Committee: Roy Stern-berger, chairman; Wm. Runkle, Bertha Habecker and Harry Christ. Sports and Amusements committee: Paul Zentmeyer, chairman; Warren Satta-zahn, D. Frank Garman, Mrs. Wm. Runkle and Mrs. Willis Dressier. A.l members of the school who have automobiles and can furnish transportation for anyone beside their families or friends will kindly notify some member of the Transportation committee. Every member of the school is kindly asked to co-operate with the committees to make this an enj oyable day 's outing. Hershey To Play Thursda y and Saturday Hershey plays Columbia on Thursday evening at 5:30 o'clock. Columbia is a fast, and hard-hitting aggregation , playing the best teams in this section. The team is managed by Sheckard, the former Brooklyn star, who knows the game from A. to Z. Come out on Thursday evening and you will see a gojxl game of ball, On Saturday afternopn at 3;00 o'clock Hershey will play the Williamatown team, which is fighting for championship honors in the Twin County League. Hershey defeated this team at Williams-town recently, and the way the team ia playing at present, indications are that they will again do the trick. But it will take real, snappy baseball to do it. Better get over on the field early in order to get a good seat as the Viscoes, Company, of Lewlstown, will picnic In Hershey on that day and as they are baseball rooters they will be on hand. On Sunday Hershey will play Ephrata at Ephrata. On Tuesday evening Hershey will play Palmyra at Palmyra-r"nuf-sed."

Sounds from the Sunny South , ' lsmmdn Star Spangled Banner ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Juniors All Set For Their Camp The Men's Club Juniors will go on a two-weeks' camp at Laurel Lake in the South Mountains, Monday, July 23rd, returning on Monday, August 6th. The boys have fond recollections of the wonderful time that they had at their camp last year, and for the past year they have been selling candy, soft drinks, etc., in order to have money in the treasury to defray their camping fees. Each boy had a quota, and those who have made their good mark are as follows: Walter Strine, Walter Leibfried, Glenn Stover, Glenn Keiffer, Patty Miller, Stewart Hess, Harry Leibfried, John Liebfried, Harry Landis, Luther Hinkle, Parke Spancake, Meade Balsbaugh, Rich-ard Black, Claire Jones, John Shay, David Oilman, James Bobb, Julius Purcell, Paul Curry, Emelo Travagli, George Boyer, Marlin Balsbaugh, Lloyd Seltzer and Kline Seltzer. Those who did not make their quota will not be able to go along. Any boy of good character, who is or is not a member of the Juniors will be able to accompany the Juniors upon payment of his camping fee of ten dollars for the two weeks or five dollars for one week, which is just one-half the cost of any other camp. The boys will be in charge of Alex. Magrini, and "Mother" Strine will be the cook. The boys said she sure gave them the "eats" last year, and boy-like, they expect "Mother" Strine will surpass her efforts this year. It sure must take some cooking to satisfy a lot of hungry boys, especially in a camp. The boys hold drills, go hiking over the mountains, hunt for huckleberries, play baseball, go fishing and swimming. In the evenings they gather around the camp fire where they tell stories, sing songs and have a general good time. Last year a large number of Hershey people motored to the camp to visit the boys, and the Juniors hope that more than ever will drop in on them this year. All boys wishing to go to the camp must register at the Hershey Men's Club, and we would advise them to do so at once as the time is growing short. Hershey Will Have a Private Kinder garten Inasmuch as the Mothers' Club is de> funct and no interest taken in the Parent- Teachers Association the prospects for a Public Kindergarten in Hershey are not bright. However, Miss Margaret Good, who taught the kiddies last season, with splen-did results, will endeavor to enroll a suffi-cient number of kiddies for a private kindergarten. Miss Good will call .upon the mothers of the town in order to interest them in the work. A kindergarten aims to develop the child's initiative and efficiency through training in self-activity, by means of play-things, games, manual work, songs and stories. The results achieved by the sympathetic application of the kindergarten, even under unfavorable conditions, have led to its acceptance in the educational theory of practically all civilized countries. It seems a pity that the women of the town have left the Kindergarten in the lurch. As it ia, we trust that Miss Good will meet with a warm reception by the mothers of kiddies of kindergarten age. Don t Be One of the Baseball Pikers The baseball fans of Hershey want first-class baseball, but seemingly, In a number of instances, don't come across with their patronage. We noticed on Tuesday evening a large number of persons perched on benches out-side of the field , on the roadside near the Convention Hall, stealing their 30 cents worth. How these pikers can enjoy a game of ball in this manner is more than we can explain. We also note that at the least opportu-nity some persons will slip In between the trees, and dodge the collectors. The Hershey baseball team represents the town of Hershey, it is giving the fans the worth of their money, so don't play the role of .a piker—come U\ with the regular fellows—you'll enjoy the game a hundredfold ; you won't be likely to fall off the bench and sprain an ankle or break a leg, and moreover,, your conscience will not smite you. ' ' ' • , ' It takes mor tey to put on, a baseball team In the, fiel d, and every 30 cents helps. Let's make it a 100 percent inside of the trees crowd. , , ,. »,, - , , ' NOTICE ,Dr. M. L.

"Smilin' Through
"Smiluv Through, the great comedy
success by Allan Langdon Martin which
was originally produced in New York
with Jane Cowl and a superlative support-ing
cast, has been selected as the offering at
the Hershey Park Theatre Monday, Tues-day
and Wednesday of next week. "Smil-in'
Through" should prove one of,the most
attractive productions that has ever been
staged here and Manager Braisted is to be
congratulated upon his progressiveness in
securing so famous a play for presentation
locally. It is typical of the progressive
spirit that marks all of his efforts at the
local playhouse.
The story of "Smilin' Through"—after a
prologue that is far too unique to be spoiled
by being told in advance,,starts in the
garden of a crusty old man who has as his
ward, a delightful wisp of an Irish girl with
all the charm of the central figure in "Peg
O* My Heart". For years he has bitterly
remembered the fact that another man has
won the woman whom he loved. There-fore,
when he finds that this girl has fallen
in love with the son of the man, he is fur-ious
and swears that they shall never
marry.
Right here, comes in the quaintness of
the piece. Back through the hazy film of
years that have passed comes memory
visualized. He lives over again the years
he cannot forget and from them learns the
lesson that he had never learned before
with the result that, when the young lover
returns, he permits them to be happy and,
in so doing, finds happiness himself.
While there is a sweetness and inimitable
charm in the story of "Smilin' Through",
the skill with which the characters are
drawn is probably the most attractive
feature of this great play. It is one play in
a hundred.
In writing "Smilin" Through" Allan
Langdon Martin, the author, has produced
some of the most delightful comedy imag-inable.
Its quaint humor is of a type that
cannot be excelled no matter the play you
have in mind. That it will be presented by
the Ella Kramer Stock Co. Players so that
every possibility it has is brought out,
goes without saying. Local theatre-goers
are to be congratulated upon being able to
see a play as famous as this one and under
conditions that will mark its presentation
at the Park Theatre. It should prove one
of the real great theatrical treats of the
season.
The Ella Kramer Stock Co. is prepared
to present "Smilin' Through" just as it was
played by the original company. Not a
line has been taken out, not a scene
changed so that local theatre-goers will
witness a remarkably finished performance
at a scale of prices way below that at
which hundreds and thousands have
willingly purchased tickets.

Hershey Makes It
Three Strai ght
Hershey played the first of an eight-game
series with Carlisle on Thursday
evening on the Park diamond, with an 8-3
victory.
The Hershey team played a splendid
game of ball throughout, and seemed to
take a liking to Zinn's curves, clouting out
11 hits. Brown hammered out a home
run and a 2-bagger. Killinger made a 3-
bagger as did Bybee, who made 3 hits
during the game.
Menear pitched a masterly game, and
pulled himself out of a hole on two occa-sions
by strikeouts.
Brown at short was like a stonewall. He
is a wonderful player. We would like to
see one of like ability perched on third.
The team would-be strengthened consider-ably.
Zinn had speed aplenty, but was wild,
hitting Hefflefinger and Smith.
The Carlisle team is an unusually strong
aggregation, and Hershey will have to
continue playing real ball in order to win
the series
A feature of the game was the splendid
umpiring by Rinn and Coogan.

The fast going Hershey Chocolate
Company team made it two straight from
The Masland A. A. at Carlisle on Saturday,
July 14th, by taking the second game of
the series, score 6-1.
Zinn, Hasland's star hurler, who was
pounded for eleven hits in the first game of
the series at Hershey : last Thursday,
pitched a great game, allowing but five
hits and fanned thirteen men. However,
he faltered in the sixth inning, when
successive hits by L. Smith, Killinger and
H. Brown scored the runs to beat him.
Hepting also twirled a masterful game,
allowing five hits and retiring seven via
the strikeout route.
L. Smith and J. Smith led at bat, each
getting two hits.

Hershey won the third straight game
from Carlisle on Tuesday evening on the
Hershey diamond, 3-2.
Both teams battled scoreless for the first
three innings when Carlisle brought In two
runs. Hershey met the challenge with a
pair of their own.
In the sixth Hershey sent the third run
across the rubber and Carlisle1 failed to
come to the scratch. ' '
; Menear for Hershey pitched great ball,
pulling himself out of a hole in three in-stanccfl
with strikeouts with men on bases.
Zinn, for Carlisle had plenty of stuff and
had control, but Herehey was able to con-nect
when hits were needed.
The games with Carlisle have been all
that the fans could ask for, both teams
have played baseball all the winy through,
and have pulled off some regular plays,
The players arc making good, but what is
the matter with the fans? The attendance
on Tuesday evening wasn't very large,
nothing like what It should have been,
Possibly two twilight games a week Is too
much for 'the fans, Frankly, we believe
they ore, We beHtvednetwlllghtgameond
a Saturday afternoon game will be about
all that the Hershey fans are able to digest.

Hersheyite Defeats
South American Pugilist
A very picturesque exhibition of the
manly art of self defense was staged on the
Men's Club floor on Tuesday evening, July
24, when L. Garman, Hershey's future
champion, scored a technical k. o. over
R. Martinez, the South American king of
the leather pusher. Garman had the ad-vantage
of 15 pounds over Mart, who
weighed in at 130 ringside. O Kech
officiated.
Rount 1—Both fighters were off with
the bell, Garman led with a right to the
face, Mart blocked a left jab and sent a
terrific left towards the solarplexus which
Garman evaded. Garman landed right,
left and right in quick succession and in
return received several left jabs in the
region of the heart. Garman missed a
left to the body and blocked a haymaker.
Garman landed a terrific blow on Mart's
head and the latter was getting in some
left jabs at the bell. Carman's Round.
Round 2—Garman opened with a right
upper cut which seemed to annoy Mart
who swung wildly and Kech warned him
about his low blows. Mart missed a right
to the body and Garman handed a left to
the head, they clinched and Mart, got in
several jabs as both rolled to the floor—
Mart landed left , right, left to the head in
quick succession which Garman answered
with a terrific haymaker. Round even.
Round 3—Garman landed right to body,
Mart made several successful left jabs to
the head and then stopped 2 rights to the
face. Garman waded a wild swing and
sent a right upper home. Another right
upper and Mart seemed dazed but when
he saw his chance he pounded Garman
amidships and they went into a clinch.
Garman was unsuccessful in trying to
dodge several left jabs at the bell. Gar-man's
Round.
Round 4—The right of Garmans
evidently had its effect for Mart came out
of his corner groggy an easy target for
Garman who forced Mart back to his
corner with his blows. The crowd began
calling for a k. o. but Mart sent home a
left which Garman stopped midship, but
there was little force left and Garman
landed almost at will forcing Mart in his
corner and sensing his advantage forced
Mart to hide behind his gloves. O. Kech
stopped the fight and Carman's arm was
raised as a signal of victory after 1 minute
and 43-4econds of fighting in the fourth
round of their scheduled 5-round decision
fight.

"Jim's Girl" Is a Good,
Wholesome Drama
Patrons of the Ella Kramer Stock Co.
are not usually in the habit of wondering
whether they are going to see a good show
when visiting their favorite playhouse, so
when they make their weekly pilgrimage to
the Hershey Park Theatre during the
engagement of "Jim's Girl" commencing
Monday, it will be no exception, for "Jim's
Girl" has been tried, and found "not
wanting," and the jury, a large number of
the most intelligent of America's playgoers^
have given the verdict, signed and sealed.
The story is easily followed, Jim Bed-ford,
a volunteer soldier enlists from
Rumor, Indiana, heart-whole and fancy
free; when he returned to the same little
Hoosier municipality, he was minus that
very important organ entirely, and "fancy
free" had been driven forever from his
vocabulary. Mile. Yvonne Henriette Mai-sonave
(hereinafter called Yvonne) is the
culprit, but the little French girl could
hardly be blamed for that, for Jim Bedford
is a "man's man" in all that the term im-plies.
Jim wooed and won his sweetheart while
in France, but embarking orders for
America made no provision for Yvonne,
for while Jim was ready, willing and anx-ious
to make the girl his wife, there was so
much official red tape to be unravelled
before he could marry, that it is^ almost
impossible to do so; nevertheless, he was
about to attempt to do the impossible,
when his ship sailed. Unbeknown to Jim,
but aided and abetted by Jim's buddy,
Eddie Fry, Yvonne makes the trip as a
stowaway, Jim only finding it out near the
end of the voyage; shortly after the girl is
discovered and she is to be deported, but
makes her escape, finally finding her way
to Jim's home where events happen quick-ly,
culminating in a happy manner.
During the process Eddie also gets a
wife; Jim gets a decoration; his mother gets
the long end of a business deal, and inci-dentally,
the audience gets about two hours
and a half of as good wholesome entertain-ment
as could be had anywhere at any
price.
