              We are having considerable trouble
with milk customers in not placing .their
empty milk bottles but in the morning so
they may be collected by the milk man.
We believe this only thoughtlessness on
the part of our good people. If you stop
to think what it means if each customer
neglects to put out the empty bottle, you
will realize, the great importance of at-tending
to this each day. We .would
kindly ask that you respond to this appeal
and not neglect in the future to place
your empty milk bottle for collection by
milkman in the morning. We know you
will cheerfully respond.

REALIZES LONG-FELT WISH BY
COMING TO PLAY IN HERSHEY
Al. Luttringer who heads his own com-pany
at the Park theatre, is a native of
California and started his career when a
mere boy at the old Grand Opera House
in San Francisco. -
The Grand Opera house was then known
as one of the finest theatres in the United
States, it being the house that played
all the stars. After two yeais of schooling
at this theatre, which was then controlled
by Morosco, whose son Oliver is at the
present time one of the leading theatrical
managers of New York City. Mr.
Luttringer joined the Florence Roberts
company, then controlled by Belasco.
At the time of the San Francisco fire Mr.
Luttringer was a member of the Majestic
stock company in San Francisco. After
the city was in ruins he became active in
starting one of the first relief stations in
that city. Shortly afterwards he accepted
an engagement as leading man at the
Mission theatre, the only theatre that was
hot destroyed by the fire, it being located
in the outskirts of the city. There he
remained for 35 weeks and then left to
Join Miss Maude Adams.
1 Six years ago he returned to California
and held a position as leading man with
the Liberty Film company. He did not
like that sort of work as he found it un-interesting
to work without an audience,
believing the only interesting part for a
picture actor is the financial end.
When asked his opinion of Hershey and
patrons of the Park theatre Mr. Luttringer
could not find praise enough.
"I find the people here very liberal in
attendance and big-hearted in their
views," said he. "We have been here
but three weeks and I feel thoroughly at
home as our patrons seem so willing to be
pleased. A feeling of warmth seems to
float over the footlights. Where "such
a spirit prevails one is always sure of suc-cess.
. "For some years it has been my desire
to bring my company to Hershey and this
summer the opportunity was presented.
"I came to Hershey almost a strange/*
but you have all been so wai m and cordial
that I feel quite at home. I have the
people of Hershey to thank, for myself and
the company and I assure you it will be
my one aim to please you throughout our
stay."
Don't forget the Community Sing to be
held on Friday evening, July 8, in the
Park. It will start at 6:15 under the
direction of Mr, Charles F. Zeigler, who is
extraordinarily fitted to act in this ca-pacity.
He is having a song sheet printed
for free distribution. Every selection has
been carefully selected and you can be
assured will prove catchy and singable
and with a certain punch.
The Sing will be held in connection with
the evening concert by the park orchestra
and will be the first of a series to be held
here during the out-door season. It Is
hoped that all who possibly can will be
present to help make this initial sing, also
all succeeding ones, successful. Come
out—sing and be glad, _/

Independence Day brought to Hershey
on Monday July 4, a great throng of
pleasure seekers who came from far and
near to spend the day and to be happy
amid the good things here provided.
There were approximately thirty, thousand
visitors to Hershey on this day, coming in
auto, train,.trolley and surry, while many
others depended solely upon the good old
fashioned method of transportation—
"Shenk's mare."
- Hershey Park once again sustained its
reputation as being an ideal summer
recreational and amusement centre. Not
one who mingled with this laughing throng
would gainsay the claim that Hershey. is
becoming more popular, with its thousands
of patrons, as season follows season. IJhe
sparkle in every eye, the glow on every
cheek, the song on laughing lips,—these
were positive indications of the pure
delight and deep pleasure which filled
every heart. Every where one went,
whether to the swimming lake where
thousands refreshed themselves in the cool,
pure water and were thrilled by the
exciting ride on the water coaster; whether
to the theatre, where many others in a
quieter way enjoyed an excellent produc-tion
of the. popular story "Tess of the
Storm Country;" whether to the mam-moth
dance floor where crowds during the
day "tripped-the-light-fantastic" through
an alluring fox trot or .a fascinating waltz;
whether to the carrousel, or the zoological
garden, or the canoeing lake, or the
miniature railway, or the concerts, or the
ball-game,—-no matter where—one caught
the unmistakable spirit which moved the
crowds and with them laughed and was
happy.
One of the chief factors in the success
of the day was the Hershey Traction Co.
For efficiency in operation and all around
service they established a record on this
Independence Day to be proud of and
one to cause other Traction Companies to
become genuinely envious.
Of the thirty thousand people who came
here on Monday, the large portion came
on street cars. From early morning till
late at night every available car was
pressed into service and a heavy haul
continued throughout the entire day. A
special schedule was in operation, with
extra cars running on each division. It is
safe to say twenty thousand people rode
on Hershey Traction Co. cars on this day
and from all that vast number not one
complaint has been heard nor accident
reported.
It was a great day in the history of the
park and worthy of special mention is the
splendid management evident everywhere
and the excellent service which was ac-corded
to every patron. Capably and
wisely had every necessary provision for
the comfort and convenience of a record
crowd been made and the manner in which
this vast number of people was taken care
of reflects worlds of credit upon the
management.

Monday, July 18
Love of Su Shong
Park Offering on
Starting Monday, July 18 and continu-ing
through the first thTee days of the
week, will be offered by the Luttringer
Players at the Park Theatre a most
unusual story. From the pen of Dewitt
Ne'wirig, author of "Dawn O' the Moun-tains"
and other successes, comes this
romantic and thrilling story of the Orient.
"The Love of Su Shong,'' has been ac-claimed
by competent critics who have
seen both to be as fully entertaining and
fascinating as "East is West."
It is a beautiful romance of China deal-ing
with the love, of a young American
tourist, for a pretty Chinese girl whom he
encountered in a most accidental way.
The wealthy young tourist finds that the
pathway of love in China is not strewn
with roses and that customs which prevail
in America decidedly da not prevail in
China. He learns also that "Su Shong,"
the girl of his heart, is sought after by no
less than four suitors, one of whom holds
a secret of her father's that would mean
death to him, and, incidentally, he learns
that there are others who are willing to
pay a price for the girl, for they do sell
them in China.
This naturally evolves some melo-dramatic
incidents for a real American
generally gets what he goes after even to
the extent of battling for it. Thus is
made a most entertaining combination of
laughs and thrills.
. Incidentally the play reveals a number
of hitherto unknown Chinese customs'but
nevertheless authentic, for the author
spent three years in China and did not
have to create fictional scenes and inci-dents.
Its a corking comedy drama
written by a man who knows his China,
who knows the customs of its people and
who has woven them into a most interest-ing
play with all the deftness the Chinese
use in weaving Oriental fabrics.
To miss seeing "The Love of Su Shong"
is to miss seeing one of the most delightful
plays of a decade. Watch next week's
"Press" for further announcements.
Preliminary arrangements for the Com-munity

COMMUNITY PICNIC AT BOILING
SPRINGS WEDNESDAY,
JULY 27
The Al. Luttringer Stock Company at
the Park Theatre is going strong in each
production^ During the time they have
been here,, not one expression of dis-approval
has been heard. On the con-trary,
everybody who attends a Luttringer
production thoroughly enjoys it and comes
away a reliable booster for the Luttringer
type of plays and the Hershey Park
theatre. We have asked many people the
question—"How did you like the show?"
And the reply every time has been—"It
was splendid," or "Gee, it was good," or
"That's a great Company," and many
others of similar nature. All simple ex-pressions,
I grant, but nevertheless honest,
and indicative of the genuine respect and
admiration held for the Luttringer Stock
Company.
- "Little.Shepherd of Bargain Row" will
be the next play to be produced and will
hold the boards, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. It is a drama and a ripping
good one too. It will prove better than
anything else that has been given by this
talented company since it came to Her-shey.
It will be hard to find anything
that has the intrinsic charm of this modern
up-to-date drama of modern life.
"Down East will be produced the
latter half of next week. It is a simple
straightforward story filled with heart
throbs, smiles and tears. Squire Shaw
and his son Allen are farmers. To their
home seeking shelter, comes Ruth Walton,
an outcast. She is taken in to do house-work
at the pleadings of Allen. Louisa
Tompkins, the village gossip, then gets
busy and finds out that Ruth is a mother
and has not been married. Righteous
Squire Shaw will not have her around
under the circumstances and on a bitter
winter's night he turns her adrift. It is
then that Allen shows the real stuff of
which he is made. Both he and his
father now learn that Ruth was enticed
into what she thought was a real marriage.
Allen braves the storm for her and after
a long search finds her and bears her back
to his home where she becomes a real wife.
These are two great plays scheduled for
next week. Make it a point to see each
one—you will richly enjoy them.
Notes of the Players
In the production of Tess of the Storm
Country, we noticed an excellent actor in
the person of John B. Whiteman, in the
character of Ben Letts. He was brought
on from New York especially for the part.
Mr. Luttringer spares no expense when he
feels he is helping his productions.
; Miss Isabelle Prentiss one of New York's
most popular theatrical dramatic booking
agents who has offices in the Columbia
building, was the guest of Mr. Luttringer
and Miss Kingsley during the week. She
was fairly carried away with the beauties
of the park especially the theatre which
she claims to be the finest open air theatre
she has ever seen. She returns to New
York with a good boost for Hershey.
Mr. Luttringer will shortly hold a
reception on the stage so that the people
of Hershey can meet the members of his
company. He is very proud of each and
every member and wants the people of
Hershey to know them as he knows them.
