If You Want a Good
Laugh See 'It's a Boy
"It's a Boy", which is from the pen of
William Anthony McGuire, one of the
younger and most promising of modern
dramatists, which was originally presented
at the Harris Theatre in New York by
Sam H. Harris, will be presented at the
Hershey. Park Theatre on Thursday, Fri-day
and Saturday of this week
."It's a Boy" is the story of the aspira-t
ions of a young couple to climb to the
pinnacle of big business via the New York
route. They sell out their interest in a
small town and start doing the Park Ave-nue
thing on a ten thousand dollar salary.
Most people do that nowadays and most
people, like this couple, hit the bumps and
find themselves without income, in the hole
and cut off from the friends who clung to
them so long as they could furnish the
whip that makes the mare of excitement go.
But in "It's a Boy" the couple are young,
in love with one another and have courage.
So they decide to cast aside all the shams
of the city, pocket their pride, go back to
the little home town and begin all over
again. Just at this point the boy's father
arrives on the scene. He gives them the
money they were to receive after his death
and this is the first stone on which they
plant their feet for the same upward climb.
"It's a Boy" teaches a lesson without
becoming a sermon and it puts it over with
the most irresistibly funny comedy in the
world. There are more laughs to the
minute in "It's a Boy" than any play
you've seen in ages. There are a few tears
to balance off with.

Hershey Loses to
Carlisle On a Heave
On Thursday evening of last week
Hershey lost to Carlisle in a closely con-tested
game.
There were some clever plays, and some
weird plays, and it was a weird one that
gave the game to Carlisle.
The game was tied in the 7th inning by
Menear's three-bagger, bringing in Miller,
also bringing in $8.10 to Menear for the hit
(a nice evening's work). Killinger was
offered $5.00 for a hit, but he wasn't equal
to the occasion.
In the 8th inning Menear had disposed of
two men. An infield pop was the result of
the Carlisle batter and Klinger ran after it,
and missed it by a mile. It should have
been an easy out for Baldwin. Boyne got
his base on balls, and Smith put an easy
pick-up in Bybee's territory, which he got.
Bybee had three ways of disposing of the
third out—either by getting Boyne before
reaching third, throwing to second, or
throwing to"first. He took the most diffi-cult
one of all—and he heaved it to first.
Oh, boy, what a heave he made of it—and
the game was puton ice for Carlisle.
We believe the team would be just as
strong with Bybee off of third—Alberts
certainly can cover this position as well as
any of those that we have seen trying to do
it this season. He may not be such a
swatter, but we haven't seen much swatt-ing
done by any of the other third basers
either—excepting in one game.
Klinger must have had his glove greased
with cocoa butter on Thursday evening-he
certainly did pick up a heap of them out
of the dust. It seems to us that Polly
Henry, if given a fair chance, and a little
encouragement, could hold down this
position with credit to himself and the
team.
One of the prettiest hits ever made on
the Hershey field was that of Yeager's.
The ball went over the score board as clean
aa a whistle. It was a sure home run but
Heffelfinger procured the ball in an amaz-ing
short time and cut it down to a three
ba§Ser- , , it Hershey hopes to make a few three-bggers
tonight (Thursday) when our old friends,
Palmyra, are with us. Be sure you come
out to ace the game, and hear the Palmyra
rooters (they are such mild ones). You
will aure get your money's worth. Come
out and see the fun.
Owing to the acorekecper's weird mark-ing
we were unable to decipher the score,
so will have to omit it.

Rutherford Yards
a Busy Place
One of the most complete railroad yards
in the United States is the Rutherford
Yards of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway.
The yards were started about twenty-three
years ago and enlarged in 1918.
Ninety tracks compose the mileage.
There are no passenger trains handled in
the yards which is laid out in an oval shape
with one Inlet and one outlcs at the extreme
ends of the yard. The westbound passen-ger
trains are operated on tracks on the
north aide and the east bound trains around
the south aide. There is no connecting
switch between main line tracks and the
yarda except at the extreme ends.
All freight trains or engines sent to the
yarda for repairs or classification remain in
the yarda until they are ready to proceed.
There is one cast bound and one west
bound hump operated In three, eight-hour
tricks. The humps have a capacity of
150 to 175 cars per hour the classification

'East Is West" Is a
Big Production
Beginning on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of next week the Ella Kramer
Stock Company will present "East is
West."
"East is West" is a play that will interest
you. It takes you out of the dull here, and
the troublous now and leads you into the
simple and delicious world of romance.
That is the reason for the great success of
"East is West" which kept it a reigning
Broadway hit for 600 performances. It
has a real story, all about a quaint little
maid of China who is rescued by a young
American from a "love boat" with its
cargo of sing song girls and brought by him
to America. Her adventures are full of
romance, pathos, comedy and drama.
The play is best described perhaps by one
of the London critics as having "delicate
charm, as well as a powerful punch."
No greater proof of the popularity of
"East is West" could be afforded than the
number of imitators springing up with
Chinese . stories. They have come and
vanished, while "East is West" still goes
on its way, one of the greatest successes in
the history of the American theatre.
The members of the Ella Kramer Stock
Company are admiriably cast in "East is
West" and a creditable performance is
assured.
You won't want to miss this play. We
would advise you to secure your reserved
seats well in advance.
Juniors Are Having
a Wet Time Of It
The Men's Club Juniors are on a two
week's camp at Laurel Lake in the South
Mountains, returning on Monday, August
6th.
The boys had hard luck this year, having
had considerable rain, which had a ten-dency
to cut down their enthusiasm. Their
ranks were somewhat depleted by a num-ber
of the boys becoming homesick and
the fear of bears at night and the dread of
the cold baths during the day.
During the first week baseball games
were played against the Schuylkill Haven
Boy Scouts, who are tamping nearby. The
first game resulted in a score of 3 to 2 in
favor of the Hershey boys. In the second
game the Schuylkill Haven boys revenged
themselves by winning by a score of 13-6.
There were a number of hikes, the first
one was for a distance of ten miles; the
second for a distance of four miles.
The parents of the boys, as well as other
visitors, are gladly welcomed at the camp
at any time.
Those who have visited the camp thus
far are as follows:
Mrs. John Shay, Louise Shay, Catherine
Shay, Bobby Shay, Mr. and Mrs. Ray
Conrad, Blanche Seltzer, Ivan Seltzer, Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Zimmerman, Peter Magri-ni,

warning, it turned short into Park Avenue,
hitting the young ladies, who were crossing
the street at the time. Luckily, Miss
Leithiser and Miss Drescher were hurled
aside and escaped the full empact of the
machine. Miss Wirth, however, was
knocked down, two of the wheels passing
over her legs. She was picked up and
carried to the room of Dr. Bailey at the
Hershey Inn, where first aid waa admin-istered,
later being removed to the home of
Thomas Blott, on Chocolate Avenue,
where she is spending the summer with her
parents, Mr. and Mra. John Wirth. Upon
later inquiry, it was stated, that she Buff-ered
a bad cut on her left ankle and the
whole right side of her body is badly
bruised. Miss Leithiser received an ugly
cut on her forehead as well as other bruises
of the body. Miss Drescher also received
numerous bruises of the body,

A Visit to the Cloisters
at Ephrata Worth While
(By Marian Inglewood)
Ephrata is a noted Summer and health
resort. The first hotel for Summer visitors
on the summit east of the town was built
in 1848; previous to that the place was
occupied by a water-cure or hygienic
home for invalids.
But the interest, in Ephrata for nearly
every one centers about: those gray, time
worn, barnlike buildings known as the
cloisters. Relics of a bygone age they are,
the age of the recluse and of monastidsm,
an age we can scarcely conceive of as ever
existing in America.
Those cloisters weire once the home of a
German religious society known as the
Seventh Day Baptists. The society at
Ephrata was founded by John Conrad
Beissel, who came to this country from
Germany, lived the life of a recluse for sev-eral
years, and finally located on the banks
of the Cocalico Creek in 1732, still living
as a hermit, advocating the doctrine of
celibacy, and preaching that the Seventh
Day should be the day of rest. He was
soon joined by other brothers and sisters
who had become converts of his, and looked
up to him as a kind of spiritual father.
They named their settlement Lager which
means encampment, but later they
changed it to the Bible name of Ephrata. 4
The monastic system was inaugurated in
1735, Beissel became the head of the insti-tution
and took the monastic name of
"Father Friedsam." At first there was
only one building in the monastery, .which
contained one principal room for religious
worship, the love feasts, and the ceremony
of feet washing which the Seventh Day
Baptists carefully observed; besides this,
there were smaller rooms for the unmarried
sisters and brothers. Later separate
houses were built for the men and women.
These building are covered with shingles,
sides as well as roofs, and all are at least
more than 150 years old.
_ At one time when this spirit of monasti-dsm
burned brightest, married men and
women voluntarily renounced their mar-riage
vows and declared their intention of
living a life of celibacy. A larger building
called the "Saron" was erected for the
women and another for the men called the
"Bethania". Each had a commodious
assembly room or "Baal" for the religious
services and love feasts. But the plan
proved a failure; many of the self-divorced
couples were reunited and returned to
their own homes, and then only the un-married
brothers and sisters occupied the
"Saron" and "Bethania."
These two buildings were large and high
—three stories high—and dustered around
them like little chicks about the old
mother hen, were the smallest buildings of
the bakery, the school house, the paper
mill, the printing office, etc. None of the
beauty of blue sky or green fields softened
the architect's imagination in planning
them. They were rudely constructed,
designed to destroy any lingering desire
for comfort which might still be lurking in
the human heart. The ceilings were
barely seven feet high; the passageways so
narrow two persons could not pass each
other in them; the low, narrow doors
swung creakily on wooden hinges and were
fastened by wooden latches; the rooms—
they were really nothing more than cells,
scarcely large enough to hold a cot; each
cell had light and ventilation furnished by
only one tiny window, 18 x 24 inches in
size; the beds were wooden benches, and
the pillows were narrow blocks of wood;
an hour glass in each cell warned the in-mates
that life was but a brief span, while
the walls were covered by large and beau-tifully
written passages of Scripture, done
by the sisters, that pointed all to a better
life to come. The dress of these Seventh
Day Baptists brothers and sisters was
almost like that of a Capuchin monk—a cowl and gown of white, linen in Summer
and woolen in Winter.
And so they lived and worked and
worshipped. Both brothers and sisters
walked barefoot, excepting when the cold
was too severe. Their communion service
and all the dishes for the table were made
of wood, carved by the skillful hands of the
brethren. Their food was of the plainest
kind—bread and vegetables and cornmeal
mush. No animal food ever was eaten.
They rejected all butter, cheese and milk
as being gross and unspintual, and from an
earthly point of view, as being injurious to
the voice.
For music waa the one thing of beauty
these Baptists monks and nuns permitted
themselves to enjoy. Father Friedsam
himself was a noted musician, and com-posed
nearly all the music for the hymns
that were sung there. The singing school
was organized in 1742 and In time it be-came
famous. A writer of those times haa
left us a description of it: "The performcra
sat with their heads bowed, their counte-nances
solemn and dejected, their faces
pale and emaciated from their manner of
living, their clothing exceeding white and
picturesque, and their music such as
thrilled the very soul. I almost began to
think myself In the world of spirits."
Much of their aoul-thrilllng muaic can
atill be found in one of their favorite
hymn books In the State Library—"Das
Gesang dcr Einsamen und Vcrlasscnen
Turtel Taube," or "The Song of the Lonely
and Forsaken Turtle Dove.'"
The singing school waa closed years ago,
the paper mill is ailent now, the famous
printing press no longer admonishes the
sinner to turn from hia evil ways, and the
aifjters skilled in penmanship are no more
seen at work in the writing rooms, for the
timo haa passed when institutions like that
founded by Conrad Boiasol enri flourish In
America, But the long gray buildings are
atill there and the brothers and sisters of
long ago are sleeping quietly by their aide,
keeping ailent watch over the homo thoy
onco loved and cherished—the cloisters.
Male Chorus Pleases
The Lebanon Male Chorua on Sunday
afternoon at Hcrahoy Park gave a most
enjoyable concert to a largo and apprecia-t
¦ ive audience, The program rendered waa particularly
pleaalng, and the membera of the chorus,
which fa n well balanced chorus, gave an
excellent account of themselves.
Wo are pleased to announce that the
Lebanon Male Chorua will give another concert at tho .Park later In the season,
when wo are aure tho audience will be oven
larger than on laet Sunday afternoon.
The music lovers of Central Pennsyl-1 his players respond to as a unit. Music
vania can again look forward with a great
deal of pleasure upon the return of Crea-tore's
Band to Hershey Park on Saturday
and Sunday, August 25th and 26th, at
which time concerts will be given in the
afternoon at 3.00 o'clock and in the evening
at 8.00 o'clock, the concerts being rendered
in the Hershey Park Convention Hall.
Everyone of the vast throngs who
heard Creatore's Band during Hershey's
20th Anniversary Celebration in June will
attest to the fact that this band is in a class
by itself, filling an individual niche in
America's musical world. It will be espec-ially
gratifying to those who heard the
band at that time to have the pleasure of
hearing this wonderful band play under
more advantageous conditions, and the
four concerts in the Convention Hall
should be rare pleasures indeed.
The unanimous opinion of the musical
critics in all of the cities visited by Crea-tore's
Band concur that it is the only band
before the public today which serves its
patrons with music such as any of the large
symphonic orchestras may well be proud of
producing. The wood, reed and brass
instruments are most effective, and the
ensemble is perfect at all times. There is a
unanimity of action and a precision of
movement that makes it appear as if the
band is a gigantic unit.
Signor Guiseppe Creatore is a man of
unusual personality, and this linked with
musical ability , and a directorial genius,
has won for him fame throughout Europe
and America. He gets the highest results
and the last atom of feeling and expression
from his men and the varied instruments
seems to raise him to an ecstasy of -ex-pression.
He holds his musiriahs in those
doquent hands of his, and he plays upon
them as upon a mighty instrument. So he
produces marvdlous effects, flashes of
dazzling light, rich purple shadows, masses
of tremendous harmony.
A demonstration of popular enthusiasm
followed the dose of Creatore's final con-cert
during Hershey's 20th Anniversary
Celebration. The final number of those

was ever moved more deeply.
The band upon its return to Hershey on
Saturday and Sunday, August 25th and

the Anniversary. Aside from the 50

There will be a charge of 50 cents for re-served

The reserved seat chart is in charge of
John Sollenberger, at the Hershey Trust
Company. Tickets are also on sale at C.

of his race. Every emotion of his face and
gesture of his hands mean something that
