Endowment Drive Here Meetin g With Splendid Success The American Legion Endowment Drive in Hershey is meeting with the same splen-did success that has marked the Drive wherever it has so far been conducted. The local Legion Post, in its effort to raise the sum of $500.00, has almost reached its goal. The members of the Post are grati-fied to make this report, and hereby pub-licly acknowledge their appreciation to each one, who by their generous support, have made this report possible. The response on the part of our men and women was generous, whole-hearted and sincere. They were ready and willing to aid in this great program of service to "Those Who Gave the Most." Their sympathetic support made possible the success that is being realized in the work here, and the local Legionnaires are pro-foundly grateful to these men and women. Members of Hershey Post contributed a total of $154.50. The Ladies' Auxiliary Unit, of Hershey Post, contributed $50.00. The work has not been completed and if there are others who would like to aid in this most important public service they may do so by contacting with any member of the local Post. There can be no dispute as to the need of this program that the American Legion has committed itself to. As already stated in previous issues of THE PRESS it has been whole-heartedly endorsed by men and women of out-standing national prominence. The pro-gram is so obviously right and just that everyone should be interested without regard to the amount they be able to give. As expressed by Dr. Clyde King, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, "It is an opportunity for those who did not give their most, to give their bit for those who did." Hershey Post freely expresses its con-fidence that when the work is finally com-pleted they will not only have reached the goal, but will have far surpassed it. Miss Verna Hershe y Weds Henr y D. Kuntzelman A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac N. Hershey, at 307 College Avenue, Eliza-bethtown, on Thursday evening, June 18th at 5.00 o'clock, when their daughter, Verna M. Hershey, became the bride of Henry D. Kuntzelman, of Tower City. They were united in marriage by Rev. John H. Mar-tin, of Lancaster, an uncle of the bride. The ring ceremony was used. The home was decorated in roses and carried out in color scheme of pink and white. The bride descended the wide stairway on the arm of her father. The ceremony was performed in the spacious drawing room before a mantle banked in laurel , roses and ferns. The attendants were : Helen M. Hershey, sister of the bride, as maid of honor, with Earl E. Kuntzelman, of Washington, D. C., a brother of the groom, as best man. The ushers were Harry Hocker, of Hershey; Oliver Kuntzelman , of Muir, and Dr. John Kuhns, of Baltimore, Md. A short recital was given by Lydia G. Weltmer, of Hershey. After which followed the strains of "Lohengrin " by Wagner. The Spring Song by Mendelssohn was played during the ceremony. The bride was dressed in a gown of white crepe niode made with low waist line trimmed with pearls, rhincstones and lace. Her veil was coronet shaped, fastened with orange blossoms and lilies of the valley and carried a shower bouquet of bridal roses. Helen Hershey, the maid of honor, wore a gown of apricot canton crepe trimmed with rose buds and ribbons and carried pink roses. The bride ia a graduate of Elizabeth-town High School and Temple University, Philadelphia. For the past four years she has taught Domestic Science in the Junior High Schools of Johnstown and Lebanon. The gr(x>m Is a graduate of Tower City High School, Ixbanon Valley College and the Keystone State Normal. After the ceremony an elalxiratc lunch-eon was served to the many guests.

The boys fully equipped with the necessities for an all-day hike left the church at 11M0 o'clock and after hiking four miles enjoyed a sumptuous meal which had been prepared by their mothers. After the lunch hour the afternoon was spent in playing "cap-ture the Hag." The first game lasting about an hour, neither Hide was successful in their attempt^ to bring the ling to their barracks. In the second game the side captained by David Oilman , after some very tactful maneuvering, captured the flag of the opixislng forces and were pro-claimed victors of the day.

John Philip Sousa enjoys in the field of music in America has not been easily won, and it is not lightly held by the March King. Sousa has been a conductor now for more than forty years and he is now heading his organization for his thirty-second annual tour, which opens at the Hershey Park Convention Hall on July 4th and 5th, with afternoon and . evening concerts. He has become the most popular and the best-known of American musicians for the sole reason that he has been heard during his career by upwards of fifty millions of Americans, the greatest audiences of any musician in the world, and also because there is scarce-ly a city or town of more than 25,000 population in all America in which he has not appeared during his career. Sousa is the chief exponent of the theory that the American people love good music and are willing to pay a reasonable fee to hear it. Without exception, Sousa's Band is the only large musical organization in America which has been able to maintain itself solely upon the revenue from its concerts. Even the operas and the symphony orchestras of the cities have backers to whom they may look in case of an unfortunate season, but Sousa, visiting 200 to 300 American cities each year, finds in each place visited enough people willing to buy tickets to his concerts to enable him to continue his work. Perhaps it is this journeying about to a great number of communities which is the real secret of Sousa's success. Many great musicians confine themselves to the cities or if they venture outside a few of the larger communities, it is with an air of condescension. Sousa gives the same programs in the smaller cities as during his annual appearances in New York, Chicago, Boston, and Cleveland where he only appears in one or two concerts. The growth of American musical taste undoubtedly is due in a large measure to the extended Sousa tours. Almost ten years before "Parsifal" was performed in New York by the Metropolitan Opera Company, selections from it had been played on tour by Sousa. Last year he played Ernest Schelling's "At the Victory Ball" which at that time had been played only by an orchestra in New York and another in Philadelphia and for one per-formance each. This year he will present one of the greatest musical masterpieces of all time, Johann Strauss' "Don Juan," done by a band by Sousa for the first time either in America or Europe. Sousa truly strives to give American audiences the music they best enjoy, and that is the reason that this season, for the first time, the Sousa programs will include jazz. Sousa has made his own jazz ar- LIEUT-COMMANDER , JOHN PHILIP SOUSA rangements, a melange of jazz melodies of the moment which will be programmed as "Music of the Minute." Americans crave action, even in their music according to Sousa. Perhaps the real reason for the success of "the march king" is that he has given the American people action, both in his programs and in his own musical compositions. "The average American is so filled with nervous energy that it is almost impossible for him to listen for any time to a musical program which does not bristle with MISS MARJORIE MOODY, SOPRANO MISS WINIFRED BAMBRICK , HARP SOLOIS1 action," says Sousa. "The American is the only individual in the world who cannot rest merely by relaxing. He rests by playing, either actively at golf , hunting or fishing, or vicariously by watching a baseball game or going to a movie. If he reads as a means of relaxation, he has to have action, and even such a thoroughly erudite man as the late President Wilson rested by reading detective stories—most of them thrillers. "My programs always have contained a fair proportion of numbers that I term music of action, such as marches, suites, •and novelties containing a variety of ideas. But I found that even action music,.could be made more enjoyable to the resting American, if the bandsmen themselves could be made to move about the stage a bit during the performance. That is the reason, for instance, that the trumpeters, the trombonists and the piccolo players alt advance to the footlights during the pre-sentation of 'Stars and Stripes Forever'." It is doubtful if more than a few hundred people ever heard the famed harp "that once thru Tara's halls," but upwards of two millions of Americans each season for the past several years have heard its twentieth century equivalent, played by Miss Winifred Bambrick, who is the harp soloist for Sousa, because of her small size and the great size of the instrument which she plays, the presence of Miss Bambrick with the Sousa organization is interesting, and she is a figure of unusual interest when she appears in a bright frock against the background of the one hundred sombre-clad musicians who make up the Sousa ensemble. Miss Bambrick is probably the only woman who has been a harp soloist with a band, and her instrument, usually seen only in connection with an orchestra, is but one of the many novelties which Sousa has welded into his programs. Her ap-pearance with the Sousa organization, of course, is due to the fact that she is one of the best harpists in America of either sex, and Miss Bambrick's solos are one of the features of the Sousa program which are certain to be widely acclaimed. But she is more than a mere soloist. Miss Bam-brick is the only woman soloist with the Sousa organization who maintains her place on the platform throughout the program, and during the band numbers she performs an important service which Sousa describes as maintaining liason between the reed sections and the brass. For some reason, not well understood either by Sousa or by sound experts, who are not musicians, the presence of the harp makes a difference in the "finished prod-uct" of the Sousa presentation which is readily noticeable if Miss Bambrick finds it necessary to cease playing for a few bars to tighten a string upon her instru-ment, and of all instruments, the harp, with its susceptibility to weather and atmos-pheric conditions is most difficult to keep in exact pitch. Miss Bambrick was born in Canada, and like all of the Sousa soloists, received her training entirely in America. Her present engagement may be a farewell one, as she has entered into a contract with Lionel Powell, the London concert manager, for an engagement abroad . Reserved Seats Now on Sale at Trust Co.

Hershe yite Puts Field Glasses to Good Use Samuel Lingle, whose smile radiates its ray of warmth and encouragement to all the world , and whose motto is "A Smiling Worker is a Smiling Doer", believes in relaxation when off duty—which is but seldom.

Passersby are invited by the genial Samuel to Inspect Nature 's beauties. Samuel knows licauty and Is a lover of it , in all its phases, and in his advantageous position oftimes turns his glass toward the Hershey Park Swimming Pool and sees the fair maids disputing in and out of the waters in their nifty one-piece bathing suits. Samuel is gutting his mtmcy'H worth from his field glasses, and advises all his friends to buy one State Troopers Hold Shoot The Greentibiirg troop won the champ-ionship colors for the year on Saturday at the annual inter-troop meet of the State Police ul the Hershey barracks.

Mies Kathcrine Eheraole, Mr, and Mrs. Enos Boyer nnd children, Mary, Katherlne and Sarah, all of Union Deposit, "Cappy Ricks" One Of the Treat s Of the Season "Cappy Ricks", which will be presented by the Sherwood Players at Hershey Park Theatre on Thursday, Friday and Satur-day, June 23, 24 and 25, was written by Peter B. Kyne. Mr, Kyne spent his spare time, several years ago, along the San Francisco water-front acquainting himself with various types. There he met an old sea captain with a keen sense of humor, who always insisted on having his own way, right or wrong, and around this weather-beaten sea dog Mr. Kyne wrote the "Cappy Ricks" stories, which found favor with Saturday Evening Post readers. Oliver Morosco saw the possibilities of "Cappy Ricks" and he secured the stage rights and then engaged the famous play-wright Edward E. Rose to dramatize the stones with instructions to preserve the wholesome atmosphere and quaint charac-ter types. The result is a comedy in three acts which tells a delightful little love story with a vein of pathos running thru the plot and more legitimate cause for laughter that can be generally found in a dozen comedies. Jimmie Dempsey, the versatile comedian of the Sherwood Players will be cast in the role of John Skinner. Mr. Dempsey joined the Company last Sunday. He just finished a long stock engagement in New York and was unable to join the Sherwood Players to open with them here on account of this contract. He will take over the direction of the plays from now on. Considerable credit should be given to Ralph Crabtree, who has handled the directorship up to this time capably and efficiently while waiting the arrival of Mr. Dempsey. Richard Foote will portray the old weather-beaten sea-dog, a blustering, bluffing, sort of a chap, altho under his rough exterior "Cappy" carries a heart of pure gold. Cecil Pericles Barnard, a young waster from New York, whose father, an old friend of Cappy's, sends him for the latter to put him to work and make a man of him incidentally with a weather eye to business for the father will be played by. Ralph Crabtree. Captain Ole Petterson, in command of one of Cappy's schooners, will be played by Clarence LeRoy. Florence, Cappy's daughter, will be played by Miss Bauer. Betsy Grimsby, the stenographer, will be played by Miss Sherwood. "Cappy Ricks" is without a doubt one of the theatrical treats of the season, so don't miss it. Due to the popularity of the "Cappy Ricks" stories while they ran in the Post and which are now in book form, there is great interest in the play and the advance sale of tickets has been quite the best thus far this season. Be sure and get yours early. Call up 18-M and pro-cure your tickets. Now is the time to do it. The cast is as follows: Alden P. Ricks Richard Foote John Skinner Jimmie Dempsey Matt Peasley Clarence LeRoy Cecil Perciles Bernard Ralph Crabtree Florence Ricks Katherine M. Bauer Aunt Lucy Ricks Nina Howell Betsy Grimsby Miss Sherwood Edward Singleton Wayne Nunn Brookfield W. Edward Watrous On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week the drama, "Her Legal Prisoner", will be the attraction at the Park Theatre. Printers Make The Best Fishermen Says Capt. Woodley Joseph Blough , John Blough, Wm. Laudermilcli , Harry Brown and Wilson Cake, master craftsmen , employed in the printing department of the I Iershey Choco-late Co., went on their annual fishing trip to Bowers Beach, Del., on Friday and Saturday. They motored to Bowers Beach early Friday morning, where they were met by Cant. Woodley, who had the shipping craft "Pinafore" In readiness for a quick get away . The sea was choppy on Friday, but our staunch fishermen tightened up their belts and ventured forth. Thirty miles out Capt. Woodley set anchor and allhandsgot busy. 'I o Harry Brown went the credit for making the lirst catch—hooking one of the largest sharks ever pulled in by a fisherman at Bowers Beach, and he was given a vote of thanks by Capt. Woodley for bringing in this terror of the sea, which is not only dangerous to mnn but destructive to food fish. After this little episode our fishermen began to pull in bass and croakers, and before settiiur sail for shore the "Pina-fore" was well laden with several hundred fine specimens, which went in the ice-box. On Saturday our fishermen again sailed oul on the briny deep, and again they were rewarded for their labors, all return-ing to their homes laden clown with tooth-some fish ficsh from the Atlantic. Ciipt. W(X)dley complimented the men upon their ability to stand up under con-ditions were others- fail , and , among other things , staled that he found printers make the best tailors and the Ik-hI fishermen. Hershe y Couple Married at Readin g A wedding of unusual Interest took place on Saturday, June 20th, at Reading, when Miss Margaret Miller , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Miller, and Clinton W. Iloffer , son of Mrs. Clara Keeney, both of Hershey, were quietly married by the Rev. Charles M. Blackburn , pastor of the Firat Presbyterian Church , of that place.

There can be no dispute as to the need of this program that the American Legion has committed itself to. As already stated in previous issues of THE PRESS it has been whole-heartedly endorsed by men and women of out-standing national prominence. The pro-gram is so obviously right and just that everyone should be interested without regard to the amount they be able to give. As expressed by Dr. Clyde King, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, "It is an opportunity for those who did not give their most, to give their bit for those who did." Hershey Post freely expresses its con-fidence that when the work is finally com-pleted they will not only have reached the goal, but will have far surpassed it. Miss Verna Hershe y Weds Henr y D. Kuntzelman A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac N. Hershey, at 307 College Avenue, Eliza-bethtown, on Thursday evening, June 18th at 5.00 o'clock, when their daughter, Verna M. Hershey, became the bride of Henry D. Kuntzelman, of Tower City. They were united in marriage by Rev. John H. Mar-tin, of Lancaster, an uncle of the bride. The ring ceremony was used. The home was decorated in roses and carried out in color scheme of pink and white. The bride descended the wide stairway on the arm of her father. The ceremony was performed in the spacious drawing room before a mantle banked in laurel , roses and ferns. The attendants were : Helen M. Hershey, sister of the bride, as maid of honor, with Earl E. Kuntzelman, of Washington, D. C., a brother of the groom, as best man. The ushers were Harry Hocker, of Hershey; Oliver Kuntzelman , of Muir, and Dr. John Kuhns, of Baltimore, Md.

John Philip Sousa enjoys in the field of music in America has not been easily won, and it is not lightly held by the March King. Sousa has been a conductor now for more than forty years and he is now heading his organization for his thirty-second annual tour, which opens at the Hershey Park Convention Hall on July 4th and 5th, with afternoon and . evening concerts. He has become the most popular and the best-known of American musicians for the sole reason that he has been heard during his career by upwards of fifty millions of Americans, the greatest audiences of any musician in the world, and also because there is scarce-ly a city or town of more than 25,000 population in all America in which he has not appeared during his career. Sousa is the chief exponent of the theory that the American people love good music and are willing to pay a reasonable fee to hear it. Without exception, Sousa's Band is the only large musical organization in America which has been able to maintain itself solely upon the revenue from its concerts. Even the operas and the symphony orchestras of the cities have backers to whom they may look in case of an unfortunate season, but Sousa, visiting 200 to 300 American cities each year, finds in each place visited enough people willing to buy tickets to his concerts to enable him to continue his work. Perhaps it is this journeying about to a great number of communities which is the real secret of Sousa's success. Many great musicians confine themselves to the cities or if they venture outside a few of the larger communities, it is with an air of condescension. Sousa gives the same programs in the smaller cities as during his annual appearances in New York, Chicago, Boston, and Cleveland where he only appears in one or two concerts. The growth of American musical taste undoubtedly is due in a large measure to the extended Sousa tours. Almost ten years before "Parsifal" was performed in New York by the Metropolitan Opera Company, selections from it had been played on tour by Sousa. Last year he played Ernest Schelling's "At the Victory Ball" which at that time had been played only by an orchestra in New York and another in Philadelphia and for one per-formance each. This year he will present one of the greatest musical masterpieces of all time, Johann Strauss' "Don Juan," done by a band by Sousa for the first time either in America or Europe. Sousa truly strives to give American audiences the music they best enjoy, and that is the reason that this season, for the first time, the Sousa programs will include jazz. Sousa has made his own jazz ar- LIEUT-COMMANDER , JOHN PHILIP SOUSA rangements, a melange of jazz melodies of the moment which will be programmed as "Music of the Minute." Americans crave action, even in their music according to Sousa. Perhaps the real reason for the success of "the march king" is that he has given the American people action, both in his programs and in his own musical compositions. "The average American is so filled with nervous energy that it is almost impossible for him to listen for any time to a musical program which does not bristle with MISS MARJORIE MOODY, SOPRANO MISS WINIFRED BAMBRICK , HARP SOLOIS1 action," says Sousa. "The American is the only individual in the world who cannot rest merely by relaxing. He rests by playing, either actively at golf , hunting or fishing, or vicariously by watching a baseball game or going to a movie. If he reads as a means of relaxation, he has to have action, and even such a thoroughly erudite man as the late President Wilson rested by reading detective stories—most of them thrillers. "My programs always have contained a fair proportion of numbers that I term music of action, such as marches, suites, •and novelties containing a variety of ideas. But I found that even action music,.could be made more enjoyable to the resting American, if the bandsmen themselves could be made to move about the stage a bit during the performance. That is the reason, for instance, that the trumpeters, the trombonists and the piccolo players alt advance to the footlights during the pre-sentation of 'Stars and Stripes Forever'." It is doubtful if more than a few hundred people ever heard the famed harp "that once thru Tara's halls," but upwards of two millions of Americans each season for the past several years have heard its twentieth century equivalent, played by Miss Winifred Bambrick, who is the harp soloist for Sousa, because of her small size and the great size of the instrument which she plays, the presence of Miss Bambrick with the Sousa organization is interesting, and she is a figure of unusual interest when she appears in a bright frock against the background of the one hundred sombre-clad musicians who make up the Sousa ensemble. Miss Bambrick is probably the only woman who has been a harp soloist with a band, and her instrument, usually seen only in connection with an orchestra, is but one of the many novelties which Sousa has welded into his programs. Her ap-pearance with the Sousa organization, of course, is due to the fact that she is one of the best harpists in America of either sex, and Miss Bambrick's solos are one of the features of the Sousa program which are certain to be widely acclaimed. But she is more than a mere soloist. Miss Bam-brick is the only woman soloist with the Sousa organization who maintains her place on the platform throughout the program, and during the band numbers she performs an important service which Sousa describes as maintaining liason between the reed sections and the brass. For some reason, not well understood either by Sousa or by sound experts, who are not musicians, the presence of the harp makes a difference in the "finished prod-uct" of the Sousa presentation which is readily noticeable if Miss Bambrick finds it necessary to cease playing for a few bars to tighten a string upon her instru-ment, and of all instruments, the harp, with its susceptibility to weather and atmos-pheric conditions is most difficult to keep in exact pitch. Miss Bambrick was born in Canada, and like all of the Sousa soloists, received her training entirely in America. Her present engagement may be a farewell one, as she has entered into a contract with Lionel Powell, the London concert manager, for an engagement abroad . Reserved Seats Now on Sale at Trust Co.

Passersby are invited by the genial Samuel to Inspect Nature 's beauties. Samuel knows licauty and Is a lover of it , in all its phases, and in his advantageous position oftimes turns his glass toward the Hershey Park Swimming Pool and sees the fair maids disputing in and out of the waters in their nifty one-piece bathing suits.

Kyne. Mr, Kyne spent his spare time, several years ago, along the San Francisco water-front acquainting himself with various types. There he met an old sea captain with a keen sense of humor, who always insisted on having his own way, right or wrong, and around this weather-beaten sea dog Mr. Kyne wrote the "Cappy Ricks" stories, which found favor with Saturday Evening Post readers. Oliver Morosco saw the possibilities of "Cappy Ricks" and he secured the stage rights and then engaged the famous play-wright Edward E. Rose to dramatize the stones with instructions to preserve the wholesome atmosphere and quaint charac-ter types. The result is a comedy in three acts which tells a delightful little love story with a vein of pathos running thru the plot and more legitimate cause for laughter that can be generally found in a dozen comedies. Jimmie Dempsey, the versatile comedian of the Sherwood Players will be cast in the role of John Skinner. Mr. Dempsey joined the Company last Sunday. He just finished a long stock engagement in New York and was unable to join the Sherwood Players to open with them here on account of this contract. He will take over the direction of the plays from now on. Considerable credit should be given to Ralph Crabtree, who has handled the directorship up to this time capably and efficiently while waiting the arrival of Mr. Dempsey. Richard Foote will portray the old weather-beaten sea-dog, a blustering, bluffing, sort of a chap, altho under his rough exterior "Cappy" carries a heart of pure gold. Cecil Pericles Barnard, a young waster from New York, whose father, an old friend of Cappy's, sends him for the latter to put him to work and make a man of him incidentally with a weather eye to business for the father will be played by. Ralph Crabtree. Captain Ole Petterson, in command of one of Cappy's schooners, will be played by Clarence LeRoy. Florence, Cappy's daughter, will be played by Miss Bauer. Betsy Grimsby, the stenographer, will be played by Miss Sherwood. "Cappy Ricks" is without a doubt one of the theatrical treats of the season, so don't miss it. Due to the popularity of the "Cappy Ricks" stories while they ran in the Post and which are now in book form, there is great interest in the play and the advance sale of tickets has been quite the best thus far this season. Be sure and get yours early. Call up 18-M and pro-cure your tickets. Now is the time to do it. The cast is as follows: Alden P. Ricks Richard Foote John Skinner Jimmie Dempsey Matt Peasley Clarence LeRoy Cecil Perciles Bernard Ralph Crabtree Florence Ricks Katherine M. Bauer Aunt Lucy Ricks Nina Howell Betsy Grimsby Miss Sherwood Edward Singleton Wayne Nunn Brookfield W. Edward Watrous On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week the drama, "Her Legal Prisoner", will be the attraction at the Park Theatre. Printers Make The Best Fishermen Says Capt. Woodley Joseph Blough , John Blough, Wm. Laudermilcli , Harry Brown and Wilson Cake, master craftsmen , employed in the printing department of the I Iershey Choco-late Co., went on their annual fishing trip to Bowers Beach, Del., on Friday and Saturday. They motored to Bowers Beach early Friday morning, where they were met by Cant. Woodley, who had the shipping craft "Pinafore" In readiness for a quick get away . The sea was choppy on Friday, but our staunch fishermen tightened up their belts and ventured forth. Thirty miles out Capt. Woodley set anchor and allhandsgot busy. 'I o Harry Brown went the credit for making the lirst catch—hooking one of the largest sharks ever pulled in by a fisherman at Bowers Beach, and he was given a vote of thanks by Capt. Woodley for bringing in this terror of the sea, which is not only dangerous to mnn but destructive to food fish. After this little episode our fishermen began to pull in bass and croakers, and before settiiur sail for shore the "Pina-fore" was well laden with several hundred fine specimens, which went in the ice-box. On Saturday our fishermen again sailed oul on the briny deep, and again they were rewarded for their labors, all return-ing to their homes laden clown with tooth-some fish ficsh from the Atlantic. Ciipt. W(X)dley complimented the men upon their ability to stand up under con-ditions were others- fail , and , among other things , staled that he found printers make the best tailors and the Ik-hI fishermen.
