VOL. XIX NO. 21 HERSHEY, PA., MARCH 26, 1925 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY
Apollo Minstr els to
Appear on
Frida y Evening
The minstrels are coming to town! With
an orchestra and everything, altho there
will not be a parade, due to the fact that
the steam calliope is not in working order
and the drum major has a twisted knuckle.
However, all the other big features will
be as advertised when the curtain rolls up
at the Hershey Central Theatre on Friday
evening, March 27th, at 8.00 depicting the
celebrated Apollo Minstrels in all their
grandeur and splendor.
The Apollo Minstrels hail from Palmyra
—and is composed of the most talented
artists in that thriving city, made famous
by Hon. Gabriel Mover, esq.
The personnel of the Apollo Minstrels is
as follows:
FIRST TENORS—George Smith,
Harry Eckert, Ralph Snyder, George
Boehm, Perry Bicksler and Wm. Amole.
SECOND TENORS—Wm. Shertzer,
Carl Longenecker, Israel Early, Harry
Baker, Landis Miller and George Grum-bine.
BARITONES—Eugene Moyer, Roy
Longenecker, Levi Swalm and Dwight
Zimmerman. — •¦
BASS—Lloyd Swalm, H. Shiffler, H.
Hamilton and H. Smith.
The interlocuter is none other than C.
Stewart Manwiller, known far and wide as
one full of ideas, business acumen and
"pep", who will be assisted by Luther
Smith and Mack Yeagley, as end men, who
are well versed in the subtle art of creating
a furore of laughter. The premiers are
Rox Lau and "Bud" Shaub—"enuf said."
The orchestra is directed by John Shiff-ler;
pianist, Miss Ethel Baum, and Messrs.
Balmer, Dresner, Wolfe, Engle, Krill,
Brandt and Zimmerman. To hear the
orchestra alone is well worth the price of
admission.
The olio will consist of a musical skit
depicting a scene in "Old Spain", in which
Messrs. Geo and Homer Smith and Geo.
Grumbine will pick mandolins, bringing
forth the sweetest kind of sweet music—
classic, popular and jazz. The Victor
artists have nothing on these Palmyra
wizards of the mandolin.
Following this act par excellence will be
a monologue by that King of Jokesmiths,
Rox Lau, who, even though one might be
nursing a grouch, spontaneously brings
forth laughs in the one, two, three order.
"We'll tell the world he is good.
After this laugh-provoking period the
Clarion Quartet make their entrance.
These young men, who are Perry D. Bixler,
Wm. Shertzer, Levi Swalm and Lloyd
Swalm, he, of the grotto-toned voice, all of
which need no introduction, for their good
work is known throughout Central Penn-sylvania,
and wherever sauer kraut is
made. They have a number of hew
selections that will, no doubt, go as big in
Hershey, as they did in Palmyra. The
Clarion Quartet can sing, and they will
make you forget your trials and tribula-tions
in short order, that is, if you have any
Of course, if you haven'i aay, you will
enjoy their harmony all the more.
After this song fest there will be a farce
comedy sketch, "Oh, Doctor", that will
make you blue in.the face for laughter.
The scenes are ridiculous, to be sure, but
true to life nevertheless, and are enacted in
any of our pill and powder parlors every
day, if we but had the eyes of a little
birdie. This sketch will be presented by
Geo. Grant, Israel Early, Landis Miller,
"Red" Shertzer and Jim Mumma.
The grand finale will consist of several
chorus numbers, the curtain descending
amid a riot of color and a sea of harmony—
and another pleasant evening will have
been marked down as one well-spent.
The Apollo Minstrels are appearing on
Friday evening under the auspices of the
Hershey Baseball Club. The admission
is but 35 cents. Reserved seats, 50c. %
Lefs give the Palmyra boys a hearty
welcome, and by our attendance we will
not only spend a pleasant evening, but
will help to fatten the Club's treasury.
Don't forget the time, the place, and the
girl. The time is Friday (this week), the
place is the Hershey Central Theatre, the
girl, well, you know who she is better than
we do.

Thy Name is Woman
With Ramon Novarro
Thursda y Evening
With a highly-charged story of passion-ate
love, a background of great scenic
beauty, played by a cast of stars and made
by one of the industry's cleverest directors,
"Thy Name is Woman," the new Metro
picture which comes to the Hershey Cen-tral
Theatre on Thursday evening (to-night),
March 26th, at 7.30 o'clock, promi-ses
to be one of the most thrilling produc-tions
of the year.
It is the latest film to be turned out by
Fred Niblo, the director who has such
successes to his credit as "The Mark of
Zorro," "The Three Musketeers," and
recently, "Strangers of the Night." The
cast includes such favorites as Ramon
Novarro, Barbara La Marr, Edith Rob-erts,
William V. Mong, Wallace Mac-
Donald, Robert Edeson and Claire Mac-
Dowell. The picture is taken from Karl
Schoenherrte^ stage play, the American
versjon of Which (by Benjamin Glazer) had
a very successful run on 'Broadway last
season, with Mary'Nash and Jose Rubens
in the principal roles.' '
. Advance .reports on the production
oeclare it to be wonderfully effective in thg
power and dramatic scope^^ts various
love interests. The std^HBr centered
around the beautiful youn^^K of an old
smuggler in the Spanisjj^Mrenees. A
dashing young soldier" is sent mfhake love
to her and thus find the Tcey that will lead
to the capture of the crafty bariuit.
The call of youth prevails and the officer
and the wife actually fall in love, causing
jealousy in the hearts of three other charac-ters.
The development from this premise,
forms an absorbing tale of revenge, thrill-ing
action, and final solution, that-is said
to keep spectators pop-eyed with excite-ment.
Novarro, of course, has the role of Juan
Ricardo, the young soldier. It is the first
time that this handsome young Spaniard
has had a Spanish role on the screen. On
top of his brilliant work in the title role of
Rex Ingram's "Scaramouche," he is
fortunate in finding a role that gives full
scope to his fiery, romantic powers. He
proves himself in truth "the great lover of
the screen."
Misa La Marr, asGuerita, the smuggler's
wife, shares honors with him in an im-personation
of passionate emotionalism
and burning Latin intensity.
An interesting feature fi t the production
is the care which has been taken to assure
the authenticity of the Spanish atmos-phere.
Ben Carre, who is probably the
best known of all the art directors, was
signed to design the interiors. And as if
this were not enough, Mr. Niblo also
engaged Pablo Aguilar, a native of the
Pyrenees section, to advise in matters of
research.
Out Hershe y Way
A recent editorial in the Harrisburg
Telegraph says, "Keep your eye out toward
Hershey on the eastern end of the county
beyond Rutherford . Unless all signs fail
a big development Is due in this locality.
Yesterday we noted an expenditure of
$50,000 for track changes in that vicinity.
Thfa is only a drop in the bucket. The
Reading is spending hundreds of thousands
of dollars in other developments and indi-cations
arc It has even greater plans in
contemplations.
"The Reading is only coming into its
own. Its management sees a great future
ahead and is building accordingly. There
was a time when what this company did in
Hanisburg was of small consequence and
little attention was paid to it. Now it Is
one of the great and growing railroads of
the East, a line that handles hundreds of
cars through Harrisburg everyday and of
growing importance to the pro8|>erlty of
the community, "
Harrisburg may welj keep* her eye out
toward IIcrshey. And ho may other
cities and towns of south centra l Pennsyl-vania.
The management of the Reading
is keeping Its eye out toward Ilershey, and
watching with intercut Hershcy 's industrial
prosperity, which means prosperity for the
Reading, the carrier of Hershey products.

"A Sainted Devil"
Valentino Film
On Saturda y
"A Sainted Devil," Rudolph Valentino's
second Paramount starring picture since
his return to the screen, will be the feature
at the Hershey Central Theatre on Satur-day
evening, March 28th, at 6.30 and 8.30
o'clock.
With an excellent supporting cast,, a
story of dash and color, and rich settings
which depict the Argentine and life in the
Buenos Aires, "A Sainted Devil" is said to
surpass even ' 'Monsieur Beaucaire," which
was received by critics and public alike
with great acclaim. In this picture, which
Forrest Halsey adapted from Rex Beach's
story, "Rope's End," Valentino portrays
the role of Don Alonzo Castro, a spirited
young South American who travels up and
down the scale of love and who fights at
the drop Of the hat for the woman he loves.
Helen D'Algy has the role of Julietta,
a dark-eyed, raven-haired beauty who
captures all the space in Don Alonzo's
heart despite the efforts of Carlotta,
played by Nita Naldi, Dona Florencia,
Dagmar Godowsky; and Carmelita, Louise
Lagrange; who try to win him away.
George Siegman has the colorful role of El
Tigre, the wild bandit of the pampas, and
other members of the cast are Antonio
D'Algy, Jean Del Val, Roger Lytton,
Isabel West, Raphael Bongini, Frank
Montgomery, William Belts, Edward
Elkus, A. De Rosa, Ann Brody, Evelyn
Axzell and Marie Diller.
In the picture Valentino is given an
opportunity to do the Argentine Tango
for which he has gained considerable
reputation and he has fights galore with
bandits and bad men of the Argentine.
The hacienda life of the Argentine is
shown in this production as well as the
smart life of Buenos Aires, the Paris of the
Americans.
Hershe y Hands
Hummelstown
Awful Drubbin g
In their last home game of the 1924-25
season, Hershey High School handed Hum-melstown
High an awful lacing on the
Men's Club floor , on Saturday afternoon,
the final score being 68 to 15. A large
number of fans were on hand to witness
what they expected to be a hard game for
the locals but went away much disappoint-ed
by the poor showing made by the Hum-melstown
boys. The Hershey tossers
were masters of the situation at all times
during the game and Hummelstown never
had anything like a chance to win. Even
after the second string players were run in
the second half , the boys from Hummels-town
couldn't get along. For Hershey,
Purcell and Capt. Aungst starred while
Jacks was the high scorer for Hummels-town.

Project for New
Roads Under Way
Steps were taken by the Dauphin Coun-ty
commissioners last week to hasten the
beginning of , construction operations on
the proposed concrete road between Grant-villc
and Hershey and on the proposed
macadam road between Linglestown and
the river road at Wildwood Park.
The commissioners will open bids April
15 for the Linglestown macadam road.
This road will be five and eight-tenths
miles long and sixteen feet wide. It will
be constructed by the county and Susque-hanna
and Lower Paxton Townships.
To permit the State Highway Depart-ment
to award at once the contract for the
two miles of concrete road to be construct-ed
between Hershey and Grantville the
county commissioners appropriated the
difference between the low bid on the
contract and the original appropriations
for the improvement.
The low bid on this latter highway, the
I-audermilch road , was $83,794.60. The
State and county had each appropriated
$39,500 for the improvement. The county
made up the difference between the ap-propriations
and the bid.
Construction Derations on lx>th high-ways
will be started as soon as the weather
permits.

It Serves Me Right
Though once I was but seventeen,
Now I am somety-some,
I frolicked through my early days
With Folly for my chum.
Instead of burning midnight oil
We burned the midnight gas.
We sped some somety-miles per hour
And passed whom we could pass.

That soon our youth was o'er,

Still somety-some years more.
Now Folly will not ride with me,

I'll choose old Wisdom for my guide

While once I was but seventeen,
Now I am somety-some,

Store.
"Say," he wanted to know, "who is this
here Pat Pending? He has his name on a
lot of new inventions. Thomas Alva
Edison wants to watch his step or this
here Pat. Pending will run him out of
business."
In view of the thrilling tales of the
catching of large suckers, and of large
catches of medium sized ones in historic
Spring Creek which winds its way through
our neighborhood, we took the liberty of
finding out the extent of truth in these
stories, and with rod and line and worms,
also very important landing net, as com-panions
we sallied forth.
Although not expert in the art of fishing,
we have made some mighty fine catches of
water snakes in our day, some of them
measuring four feet (4) from ears to tail
inclusive. Now if any local fisherman
can beat that, let him stand forth, yes, let
him stand first. However, about catching
black suckers in historic Spring Creek we
knew, and know, next to nothing. Ob-viously,
the thing to do was to experiment.
First we fished in still water, then we fished
in swift water. First we used three feet
of line, then we let out all the line we had.
Then we discovered the sinker was too
light. We tied on a stone the size of an
egg, and fished in swift water. We had a
great many tugs at the line, but strange as
it may seem, the bait was not disturbed.
We continued our experiments till sun-down,
and called it a day.
We gave up in disgust, and resolved to
seek authentic advice about how to angle
in Spring Creek, and to find, if possible,
just where we had gone wrong. We asked
the Man with the Wooden Leg. He cross-examined
us as to our tactics and tictacs,
and declared they were without a flaw.
" 'Sfunny," he said, "Can t understand
it. And you spit on your bait before you
threw in, didn't you?"
At lastl We knew now why our light
had failed. We didn't spit on the bait.
Well, if you had been anywhere around
it would have done your heart good to hear
the bawling out the Man with the Wooden
Leg gave us.
"Didn't spit on your bait," he jeered,
"A fine fisherman you are. Ha, ha, hah!"
That cooked us. We were so ashamed
of ourselves we sneaked home the back
way, remembering Shakespeare's immortal
lines.
"Some suckers don't live in the water."
Inasmuch as this column is here for the
purpose of the good it can do, and to slip
over, wherever possible, along with the
attempted humor, a few Sunday school
lessons, a fable will be inserted from time
to time to unleaven the levity.
Fable
Once upon a time a man took out a
correspondence course and finished it as
soon as he expected he would.
Doctor Drake, of Liberty Cross Roads,
reports that the warm weather is knocking
holes in the Cross Roads cross word puzzle
epidemic, and consequently, for the time
being, he has given up his research for a
vaccine and anti-toxin to combat it.
Instead he has employed his leisure
moments in the prefection of a new corn
and bunion cure. He is going to market
his product under the name of Doctor
Drake's Corn Syrup. This Corn Syrup
may be eaten on flap-jacks for breakfasf,
and in addition to its remedial powers,
those who have tried it speak highly of its
palatabilily.
In severe cases of corn and bunion . Dr.
Drake recommends his Corn Licker, Good
to the Last Drop. The latter remedy is
much in demand in the Cross Roads and
vicinity.
Archie, age nine, had been gone from

.She couldn 't imagine where her Archibald

when to her joy she saw her precious in the
company of the town's lluck Finn, and a
whole gang of other fellows. They had
been down to the river . She railed across
the street.
"Archie, come here this minnit. Where
in the world have you been?"
Archie crossed the street very slowly,
and steered shy of mother 's welcoming
arms.
"Archie, where have you been?" mother
asked
Said Archibald , "I ain't been smokln',

" The only way for a man to look nt the

Another Irishman said If ho knew of a

would go and end his days there.
And another Irishman said if he knew
the place where he was going to die ho
would never go there.
And another Irishman said lie was going

Visits Junior
High Schools
Work on ,the new Junior-Senior High
School is advancing rapidly. In anticipa-tion
of the changes made necessary by the
reorganization of the school system to
conform of the latest approved methods,
Prof. A. M. Hinkel, supervising principal
of the Hershey schools, is out of town on a
leave of absence for the purpose of studying
Junior High Schools in operation. He will
visit Junior High Schools in Reading,
Conshohocken, Lower Merion Township,
Ardmore, and the Shaw Junior High
School in Philadelphia. These are all
schools of considerable prominence.
Prof: Hinkel will also attend sessions of
the twelfth annual schoolmen's week
which open in the University of Pennsyl-vania
Thursday of this week and continues
Friday and Saturday. At this convention
reports will be made by five committees
appointed by Governor Pinchot to study
important educational problems.
Industrial School
Midgets Win
Championship
The Championship game between the
Hershey Men's Club Midgets and the
Industrial School Midgets, was played on
the High School floor on Saturday morn-ing.
The game was fought hard through-out,
the little fellows seemed to realize
what was at stake and the guarding was
very close by both teams. After a five
minute extra period, the Industrial School
won by the score of 1 to 0. Neither of the
teams had previously played on the High
School floor and judging the distance of the
basket seemed hard for them, many shots
being taken, but none going thru the net.
J. Swartz scored the winning point after
Hess and he had caused a double foul on
charging and blocking.

The Hershey Industrial School Varsity
easily defeated the Lebanon Olivets by the
score of 64 to 38 on the Industrial School
floor on Friday evening, March 20th. Able
and E. Aucker showed their usual good
form while Hellqr and Andrews were on
guard and stopped many a two pointer.
Lasky played well in the field but tailed to
find the basket. Heller and Able were
taken from the game on the personal foul
ruling, G. Aucker and Whiteman taking
their places. Hummel and Strickler
played the best game for I-ebanon. Both
teams worked the ball well on the floor and
sensational passing as well as shots were
made at almost every moment of the game.
It is too bad that the toys at the school do
not have more room for the sj wrts as their
hearts are wrapped up in athletics , every
boy being either a player or a rooter and
the Varsity were cheered to victory by the
younger boys.

Travelers decisively defeated the Berk's
Supply Co., of Lebanon, leaders of the
City I-eague, by the score of 40 to 25. This
was the third game between these teams
this season. In the first game the Berks
gained the decision but the Travelers
reversed this on their next meeting, Dur-ing
the most of the first half the teams
were deadlocked , but towards the close, by
clever passing and shooting, the Travelers
forged ahead and enjoyed a four-point
advantage at half time, the score being 15
to 11. In the second half the Travelers
continued their good work, which com-pletely
bewildered their opponents. Berks
fought back valiantly, but the Travelers
were not to be denied, and continued to
send field goals whizzing through the net.
Although the Berks toys were outplayed
they never quit trying and were playing as
hard at the finish of the game as they were
at the start. Fasnncht, Gerlach and
Purcell were the high scorers for Hershey,

and he relates wonderful tales of the effi-ciency
of his set, This enthusiast Is none
other than I larry Christ. To prove to the
doubters that what he says is the truth and
nothing but the truth he Is willing to
demonstrate his radio set at the Hershey
Square during a noon hour, provided that
the proceeds that are collected, be turned
over to the Ilershey baseball club.
Spring Opening of
Depart ment Store
Pleased Thron gs
It was the unanimous verdict of .the
throngs that attended the annual Spring
Opening and Fashion Review at the^» Hershey Department Store on ThursdaJ^Bj Friday and Saturday of last week that thS^ event excelled previous years.
The garden scene was exquisite, making
a beautiful setting for the charming models
as they wistfully paraded up and down the
fifty-foot runway, entrancing the feminine
assemblage with Dame Fashion's latest
decrees, and making the men gaze with
eyes as big as saucers.
The Spring Opening brought out that
in colors for street wear, navy blue, rose
beige«£nd the new shade of rose-wood,
gray, green and black are the best colors.
Particular attention was called to gray, as
this has been a marked note stressed by all
of the important model makers, and indi-cates
a new color scheme.
Plaids were used as trimming on plain-colored
suits, scarlet or yellow with navy
blue, and rose pink with navy, these being
the favored combinations in the tailored
group.
For evening, all the colors of the rainbow
appeared; the entire scale of violet, from
the pansy shade to the reddish fuchsia
tones and pale mauve.. Red pink, from
the flesh tints to the deep copper tones,
and yellow shading from the light shades
of maize to the deep tones of orange, were
shown. Blue is good in pervenche or
periwinkle, which is a lovely soft shade of
blue with a mauvish tinge, and Chinese
blue which verges on the royal. The best
greens are those in the yellow shades,
known as pistache, prairie or apple, and
also emerald green.
The management of the Hershey De-partment
Store was highly elated over the
big success of the Spring Opening, for the
throngs came not only from Hershey and
the immediate vicinity, but from Lebanon
and Harrisburg, and a large number took
advantage of the opportunity to make
purchases of the offerings that were shown
by the models.

Shade Trees Being
Platted on Java Avenue
Shade trees are being planted on Java
Avenue. This will be a much needed and
appreciated improvement, only the work
is nlxmt ten years late. However, the old
adage tells us that it is better late than
never. There is some consolation in this
thought , altho we may never live to derive
the benefit of their shady boughs, and have
the pleasure of gazing uix>n their beauty,
but we won 't have to rnke up their leaves
In the fall either , so Us an ill wind that
blows no one good, quoting the Sand Hill
poet.
