The Hershey Press 1920-09-02

              The final performance of the theatrical
season here by the Manhattan Players
will occur,Saturday nigh t , September 11.
The company will faithfully endeavor to
make the closing productions things of
genuine interest for all play goers. '
The last three nights of this week the
players will present what has proven their
biggest success, "The Girl He Left Be-hind
," the thrilling story of the recent war.
Messrs. Ward , Roberts, Weiss, Rowe,
Mackaye and Bock and the Misses O'Neill
and Jackson will be seen in their former
characters. Charles Edward s will pro-vide
a brand new scenic production far
excelling anything yet seen on the local
stage.
And worthy of special mention , at th is
time, is the splendid work that has been
done by Mr. Edward s, the Manhattan
Players' scenic artist. He has labored as
faithfully and hard as any member of the
Company without hearing the plaudits of
the people which are accorded the players.
In each production so far has been noticed
a brand new setting, freshly done, yet it
received only the silent admiration of the
audience. The success the Manhattan
players realized here is due to an appreci-able
degree to the excellent work of Mr.
Edwards. This fact is recognized by the
entire company and they hold him accord-ingly
in high respect and esteem.
Mr. Edward s has had years of exper-ience
in the production of scenic settings.
He was born in London , England , and
has traveled extensively in France, China ,
Germany, Mexico and other countries
throughou t the universe. He has painted
scenery for every imaginable style of stage
setting and carries a miniature model of
every set he has done.
Mrs. Edwards who has just j oined her
husband after an extensive trip, is also an
artist of exceptional ability. She renders
valuable assistance in executing the work.
The service rendered by Mr. and Mrs.
Edward s is valued highly by Mgr. Hillis
for their exceptional ability aids materially
in assuring first class productions , and
helps to sustain the enviable reputation
the Manhattan Players enjoy.
For the Labor Day attraction. "The
Voice Within " will find a host of admirers.
It is a splendid play abounding in all those
various features that help to round out an
evening of entertainm ent , rich in delight
and wholesome pleasure. The cast will
include a newcomer , Miss Marion Hudson ,
a charming little lady who will accompany
the Manhattans when t hey go on tour.
The farewell play will be announced
later. For the final night there will be a
galaxy of extra novelties. The Manhattan

On the sure and powerful wings of time
the park summer season is speedily pass-ing
along. It seems but a little while ago
we mingled with the merry throng on the
occasion of the annual May-Hop, that
inspiring prelude to the summer season
here. How we greeted with rejoicing
that event for it marked the end of a long,
quiet winter season and denoted the be-ginning
of a long period ol out-door life,
filled with warm sunshine, blue skies,
the song of many birds and the mingled
fragrance of growing things. We have
now come to the postlude , so to speak ,
for with Labor Day, the third holiday of
the summer season, at hand , our thoughts
begin to turn to Autumn. We see the
green of nature turning to brown; the
merry song and happy chirp of the birds
is blending into a melanchol y chant; the
song of the harvester echoes across the
hills. We begin to think of chilly nights,
long and dark ; we hear north winds laden
with a message of winter, whistling through
naked trees; we see Jack Frost engraving
upon Mother Earth , in characters of
purest white, beautiful designs and etch-ings.
Labor Day here will fully measure up to
the record established by preceding holi-days.
The Park management has en-deavored
to build a program which will
prove a fitting climax to the busiest
season in its history. They have listed
additional features for the day which will
surely bring thousands of people here.
The Iroquois band , of Palmyra , one of
the very best organizations of its kind in
Centra l Pennsylvania , has been secured
for the day. They will render concerts
afternoon and evening which will un-questionably
prove a source of delight to
many. All , through this immediate sec-tion
, know of the excellent reputation the
Iroquois band enjoys. They have played
numerous engagements throughout the
state and were accorded everywhere such
praise and acclaim as might be coveted
by the very best musical organizations.
Those who come to hear the Iroquois
band may feel assured they will listen to
two most excellent programs.
As a special afternoon attraction , the
Middlctown and Highspire baseball teams
have been secured. These- teams are very
evenly matched and a first class ball game
is assured. This game will prove the
deciding one in a series of seven. Each
game, thus far was won by only a small
margin and each team has three victories
to its credit. The rivalry between them
is intense and a game replete with thrills
and excitement may be anticipated.
Dancing, in the mammoth park pavilion ,
is scheduled for afternoon as well as even-ing.
The Banjo-Saxo orchestra will fur-nish
the music for each occasion. A
record-breaking crowd will surely be in
attendance. This floor , in finer condition
than ever, and this orchestra , than which
there is none belter , will prove a combina-tion
hard to beat and one which will please
Ihe most fastidious dance patron.
Other park amusements will be in full
play throughout the day. The Man-hattan
Players al the theatre , the swim-ming
pool -Central Pennsylvania 's most
popular spot —, canoeing, boating, zoo,
carrousel , shooting gallery, bowling, skec-ball
, et c., will help you spend a day of
genuine deli ght.
On the famous park restaura nt veranda
an excellent chicken and waflle dinner will
be served from 11:00 a. m. till 8:30 p. m.
On the warmest day, this spot is surely
one of the coolest and most deli ghtful of
any in the park. You 'll enjoy eatin g an
excellent dinner on the restaurant veranda .
Come th en lo l lershey Park where no
stone is left unturn ed to provid e every
convenience and comfort essential to a
successfully operated outing grounds.
Ample fa ilities may here be found to
accommodate the largest crowd. Here
the welfar e and satisfaction of patr ons is
given every possible considera tion. There
will he enough wholesome fun and recrea-tion
for all who may come here. Labor
Day, 1920, will be a big day at llershey
Park -come along with the crowd and be
happy with them.

CAPTURES RIBBONS IN POULTRY for these closing September dances.
EXHIBIT
Edward Cassel, of Palmyra , employed
in the printing department of the I lershey
Chocolate Co., is proudly displaying to
his many friends several ribbons which he
captured in the poultry exhibit at the
Lebanon County Fair which opened on
Tuesday.
He entered white Wyandottes , two
pullets and two cockerels and each bird
one a ribbon. The pullets won a first and
a third ribbon , while the cockerels won a
second and a third ribbon. They won in
a field of thirty-six entries which is ample
evidence of the excellent birds Cassel
entered.
Cassel's record seems the more remark-able
when it is considered that he pretends
not to be an expert poultry fancier and
th at , furthermore , this was the first ex-hibit
in which he had ever entered any
birds of his own. There is sufficient
reason herein for him to feel highly elated
and to assume an air of just pride. As a
poultry grower he has proven his capa-bilities
and deserves honest praise and
commendation for his accomplishments
in this respect.
Concert on Sunday afternoon , Septem-ber
12, by the Hershey band. An organi-zation
of youthful musicians under the
leadership of R. F. Swabb, of Hummels-town.
