              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.

AMERICANS CRAVE ACTI0N-S01SA GIVES IT TO THEM The great popularity which Lieut.
Com. 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 .

the world , and whose motto is "A Smiling
Worker is a Smiling Doer", believes in
relaxation when off duty—which is but

So Samuel bought himself A No. 1 field

velvety lawn, keening hiseyeson his cotton
and peanut patches, and now and then ,
with his field glass glued to his eyes, peers
heavenward , and also earthward.
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

"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
