Sousa to Begin His 34th Season at Hershe y July 4th Two days less than four months from the conclusion of his longest and most strenu-ous tour, Lieut. Com. John Philip Sousa, beloved American composer-conductor, will pick up his baton again for another season. On March 6, 1926, in Richmond, Va., Sousa concluded his thirty-third an-nual season of forty-two weeks and 30,000 miles. On July 4, in Hershey, he will begin his thirty-fourth season at the head of his own organization, playing a hvo-days' engagement in the Hershey Park Convention Hall. Sousa's new season will not be as long as that of last year. One year in two, Sousa reserves the right to a holiday in duck-hunting time, and therefore, the tour will be of only twenty weeks, and will end in Baltimore, about the middle of November, which is the time when the ducks are most plentiful along Chesapeake Bay. The "wearing qualities" of Sousa were given a severe test during the past season. Although he has been constantly before the American people for a third of a century, the total number of persons (2,032,409) who paid admission to his performances was the greatest of his entire career. He is the one musician before the American people, apparently, who is always certain of a welcome, regardless of the place or the season of the year. Last season he varied his usual route with a trip into Western Canada. This season, in addition to his American engagements, he will make a brief tour of the Maritime Provinces of Canada. Sousa's program this year will be dis-tinguished by the unusual number of novelties, not the least of which will be his own arrangements of popular Jazz tunes. Marion Talley Charms Large Audience at Convention Hall Three thousand persons greeted Marion Talley at the Hershey Convention Hall on Sunday afternoon and sat enraptured by the flowing golden tones of the charming Kansas City girl. . Miss Talley's fine sense of pitch, her immovability in sureness of herself, swung the audience to her and her listeners were gripped by her artistic personality, winning her audience from the moment of her en-trance and sending them into raptures of praise after her first aria, "Una Voce Poco Fa," from Rossini*s "Barber of Seville. ' Her singing is in no way affected, nor does it sound studied, and so her hearers derive distinct pleasure. Miss Talley's voice, of course, has not yet attained its fullness and full warmth, but its freshness is beautiful and it is soothing in its velvety smoothness. Miss Talley's musical diction is as per-fect as human endeavor can make it and in the selection of her program she chose wisely and well. Nothing she sang was over the heads of her auditors and even those in the remotest spaces of the large auditorium understood her every word. She stood out brilliantly in the familiar "home" songs, and the little less familiar numbers from several of the standard Wind operas. Her stacatto notes in "The ren," by Benedict, regarded as the acid test for sopranos and usually sung with flute accompaniment to prove similarity of tones, were vocally marvelous and proved absolutely true placement. The large assemblage demanded repeated en-cores, which were graciously given. Miss Talley's stage presence is that of an unaffected girl, which, if she maintains despite her unprecedented success, will make her one of the most popular figures on the American concert stage. Maxmilian Rose, violinist, assisted Miss Talley and, with his mastery of his in-strument and fine personality, completely captured the audience. He played a slow movement from Cluck's ballet as an encore. Emil Polak played the accompaniments for both artists in an unrivalled manner.

Bill (Kid) Zimmerman, local ball player and boxer who met Red Sanders of Miners-vlllo at the Scini-wlndup of the W. K. Club at Lykcna hint Friday evening, had to stop In the second round. Bill dislocated the thumb on Ills right hand. A number of ocal fans attended the fight at Lykens, 5,000 Delegates to Attend Christian Endeavor Convention Five thousand delegates will gather at Hershey Park to attend the twelfth bi-ennial Pennsylvania State Christian En-deavor Convention on Monday, June 28th to Saturday, July 3rd. ¦ The program promises to be one of the best ever presented at the State Conven-tion. . Prominent speakers have been secured. There will be conferences dealing with every phase of Christian- Endeavor work, under capable leadership.; A Quiet Hour service will be conducted each morning from 8.15 to 9.15 o'clock in front of the Hershey Park band shell, under the direction of Rev. Floyd Tomp-kins, of Philadelphia. Rev. Tompkins has inspired thousands at other conven-tions by these services and the Endeavors are eagerly looking forward to his presence in Hershey. The afternoons will be devoted to re-creation; which will be in charge of three prominent members of the National Board of Recreation. A section of the Dauphin County Chris-tian Endeavor choir of 200 voices that will help swell the chorus of 500 voices for this convention, was organized in the Pine Street Presbyterian Church this week. J. Frank Palmer, alumni superintendent of the Dauphin County C. E. Union, is the director. The plan for organizing the choir for the State convention, Mr. Palmer explained, is to have different branches of the C. E. Union organize smaller choirs, or sections of the large choir, practice the hymns that are to be sung, and finally, the evening before the convention, all go to Hershey for a final rehearsal. Lebanon County will send its quota, as well as other towns and counties nearby. , Homer Rodenhaver, hymn writer and choir leader, who assisted "Billy" Sunday in his evangelistic campaigns, will be the director of the State choir at Hershey. There will be a conference every morning of all who are interested in leading church choirs and Christian Endeavor choruses, at which Mr. Rodenhaver will give practical talks and demonstrations upon directing a choir. Riii-Tin-Tin Is At His Best In "The Night Cry" at Park This Week Rin-Tin-Tin, the famous dog star, has his own place in screen popularity where he stands alone as an attraction. In "The Night Cry," which will be the attraction at the Hershey Park Theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, June 3d, 4th and 5th, Rinty proves more remarkable an actor than ever. The in-telligence he displays in his screen work is not only a credit to the direction of Her-man Raymaker, but a never ceasing source of wonder to Rin-Tin-Tin's audiences. "The Night Cry" gets its title from the weird cry of a vulture which preys on a flock of sheep, while suspicion of the com-munity falls upon Rinty, the shepherd dog. How Rinty rescues his master's baby from the giant condor, how in a thrilling fight he kills the bird of prey, and vindicates him-self forms the theme of the story, written by Phil Klein and Edward Meagher. The supporting cast of "The Night Cry" includes June Marlowe, who has frequently been seen with Rinty; John Harron , Gayne Whitman, Don Alverado, Heinie Conklin, and Mary Louise Miller. Aboundingin thrills, beauty, and homely sentiment, 'The Night Cry" is certain to please all picture goers. Hershey Gives Richland Team a Hard Tussle The Hershey baseball team played the strong Richland team on the Hershey Park field on Monday afternoon , (Decora-tion Day) |and was defeated by a score of 8 to 6. This was the first game that the I Icrshcy team has been in action , and they put up a splendid calibre of baseball. The team was in the running at all times, and if they had received a few breaks of the game, the victory might have been theirs. Leitheiser behind the bat put up a great game. He was right handy with the bat , getting four lively swats. Storm pitched a good game. Owing to the heavy ram on l uesday evening, the I-ower Dauphin County Twi-Light League didn 't get under way.

Sheaffer , of Ilar-risburg, announce the birth of a son. Mrs. Sheaffer was formerly Miss Sarah Han-ehue, of town. The remodeling of the beautiful Hershey Inn building will be completed this week, and the dining rooms will be opened to the public on Saturday. The Ehzabethtown High School Alumni will hold their ban-quet in the main dining room on Friday evening. The Arcadia Orchestra, of Har-risburg, will furnish the music. The Hershey Inn is beautifully designed, the interior as well as the exterior. Every effort was made to provide beauty, charm and utility. The spacious foyer leading to the dining room, will also be used as a waiting room for the patrons of the Hershey Transit Company. The walls are of travatine, of a morine finish , diffusing a quiet, restful hue. The ceiling is of a Spanish texture, stippled , and harmonizes with the walls. The floor is of terrazza, hard as flint and of exceedingly high polish and beauty. In the foyer, just inside the central doorway, is a built-in booth, composed of travatine. Here one may purchase candy, magazine and novelties. To the right is the office of the Hershey Transit Company. THE HERSHEY INN A broad staircase, off the foyer, with railings of wrought iron and bronze, leads to the second floor of the Inn, containing 100 guest rooms, with every convenience. From the foyer three entrances lead to as many dining rooms. To the left one enters the main dining room, paneled in rich walnut. Illumination is provided by large chandeliers swung from the ceiling and by wall brackets. The main dining room contains 17 tables. Adjoining, is the auxiliary dining room, containing 15 tables. In the main dining room there is a large space for dancing purposes. The middle door from the foyer leads to the "Dutch Room", with beamed ceilings and high-backed seats. Illumination is provided by ornamental side brackets. This room has a capacity of 40 persons. To the right one enters the cafeteria, an unusually large room, seating 400 persons. The interior is painted in rich green and cream, creating a most pleasing effect. Not only is there an atmosphere of restful-ness and repose in this spacious cafeteria , but in the other three dining rooms as well. The many windows in the Inn, with their beautiful draperies, which are most artistic in appearance, are so placed that they not only light the interior of the building, but also add to its beauty by the pleasing harmony of their placement. The kitchen and serving pantry is com-plete and modern in every detail. The equipment includes all of the latest de-vices used in the culinary art. In all of these dining rooms good food at fair prices will be the rule. The service will be a la carte. From the foyer , as well as from the main dining rooms, stairways descend to the comfort rooms, four in number, with white tiled floors-and walls. A large parking area for cars has been provided on Cocoa avenue. With the opening of the dining rooms of the Hershey Inn the other dining rooms in the town, with the exception of the Her-shey Tea House and Hershey Park restau-rant, will be closed. Hershey Inn Dining Rooms To Op en This Satu rday Thrills, Romance and Drama in "Under West-ern Skies" Next Week The biggest wheat ranch in Eastern Oregan figures in "Under Western Skies," an Edward Sedgwick-Universal-Jewel pro-duction, having an all-star cast that is to be the attraction at the Hershey Park Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wed-nesday, June 7th , 8th and 9th. This thril-ling picture story of the Oregon wheat fields abounds in much beautiful photo-graphy and in this respect is one of the most artistic film plays yet produced. To say that much of the picture was made on the largest wheat ranch in that part of the state is saying much for Eastern Oregon is filled with great fields of wheat. It is one of the most picturesque and de-lightful spots in the West, according to Norman Kerry, who plays the leading male role in this big production. The story of "Under Western Skies" has to do with the efforts of a group of New York hankers to obtain control of the wheat fields by refusing to loan money to the farmers at a time when they needed funds with which to pay their farm hands. The bankers thus hoped to force the farmers to sell at a very low figure. Into this situation as a farm hand comes a young Easterner, turned out by his wealthy father and not knowing that his father is the ringleader of the wolves of Wall Street. Among the many big scenes of the pic-ture are those showing the famous Pendle-ton , Oregon , Round-Up, the ixicr of all American cowboy sixirting events, for it brings into the arena the best bronco-busters, lariat throwers and horsemen to be found on the cattle ranges of the West and Southwest. It is the most spectacular event of its kind in the country and makes a thrilling and entertaining picture in it-self. Sedgwick, who wrote and directed "Under Western Skies," has brought the round-up into the picture story in smooth and easy fashion. L. E. OILMAN CONTRIBUTES TO PUBLIC LEDGER In a recent issue of the Philadelphia "Public Ledger " L. B, Oilman , son of Mr . and Mrs. J. IS. Chilian , of town, who is a student at U. of P., litis contributed an Interesting article on "The Practical Value of a Museum."

The walls of the rooms in the Grade building were covered with the art work of the child-ren, each child having one or more of his efforts exhibited . The art consisted chiefly of free-hand drawing and paper cutting covering a wide range of subjects closely allied to the interest of the children. The colors used in the studies were particularly attractive and well-chosen. In all the work the ability of the children was well-displayed. Many people visited the exhibit on both nites and expressed themselves as well-pleased with the work done by the children . Mr. C. Valentine Kerby, the State Director of Art , was a visitor on Wednesday and stated his appreciation of the work shown. The teachers and Miss Virginia Browne, the Art Supervisor, are much to be com-plimented on the year's work as shown in the exhibit .

The Smokestack I SV T)ee J ay Qee iJl i ii..i ,~.ir». n », i. > n - i, i i Citicus Motor* Everyonce in awhile I take my girl For a ride in the open spaces. We leave the country far behind, , And we go where there are no traces Of traffic jams or traffic cops Or sidewalks packed with people. We pass wide fields, a little town, A church with-pointing steeple. And we smile at the rustic scenes we see From the seat of our financed flivver : A farmer working late at night In the corn by the winding river; A farm lad running with a fish Toward home and busy mother; A blacksmith shoeing one black horse That stands beside another. And we smile with a less than half-souled smile And with more than a half-souled long-ing, We scarcely care to smile at all, We wish we were belonging To this enchanting scheme of things, This carefree life bucolic. We sigh, "The things that might have been Aw, ain't life melancholic?" Says the Man with the Marble Top, the School of Hard Knocks doesn't go in for correspondence courses. Clayt Dibble of the Liberty Cross Roads Drug Store, where Doc Drake's Corn Licker, Good to the Last Drop, is still dispensed, was given a supply of poppies to sell for the American Legion a couple of years ago. He sold them all but ten. These he gave to his nearest relatives in town to wear till after Decoration Day when the crisis was passed, Ciayt turned in his money for the poppies he had sold and also the ten poppies he had loaned to his nearest relatives in town. People who were somewhere else during the Talley concert missed the musical treat of their lives. A certain sassiety lady of New York says: "A very modern painter was about to show me a new painting. As he took the cloth from off the easel, I clasped my hands and said : "Oh, how lovely?" "Wait a minute, said he.'It 's upside down.' " "Then he turned the painting round and I said! 'Oh, now it's lovelier still!' " Mr. Coolidge seized my hand and. said, "How do you do?" Then he seized it again and said, "Goodbye." —Nikita Bailey. Asked to define life, the wife of the champion long distance walker came out with her version, "Life is one darned sock after another." Deejay, says the Girl in Blue, somebody tells me you are so lazy you put off writing the Smokestack as long as you possibly can every week. I don 't believe you take much interest in your work. Why I have heard you even wait till Three O clock in the Morning of the day the printer wants your stuff before you take your pen in hand. Is that nice? No wonder every once in a while you turn out a column that reads the same way city water tastes out of the spigot on a hot day. Why don't you pull yourself together and write two or three columns in advance and not wait for necessity to spur you on to endeavor? We would like to know the answer to that very question. It has stumped us for quite some time. Surely, as the Potato Bug said when he tasted the Paris Green, here is food for thought. Suggestion to Young Edisoni (and Henry Ford) In this fair land and free, we have been making rapid strides along the path of in-vention, but there are still plenty of things just waiting for some bright young man or woman to come along and invent them. It indeed doth seem a pitiful thing that so many natural sources of power in our country stand in their stalls, unharnessed for the public good. F'rinstance look at all the hot air going to waste, with coal selling for fifteen or more dollars for a mere two thousand |)ounds. Think what Broth-er Pinchot and other far seeing men of the day are telling us of the ixiwer going to waste in our streams. Think what it would mean if the gestures of the chatau-qua lectures could be converted into motive power for our factories. But to the slaugh-ter. What we have most to heart at the present writing is a scheme, the rough plans of which are yours. The details you must work out yourselves. The invention we propose is the human potato sprayer. A small container of pcpiwr should be strap- |K'd under the o|icrator 's nose to induce sneezing. The watery part of the sneeze should mix in some way with Paris Green or the desired bug (xj ison .

(Continued on Page 2) Vaudeville at Hershey Park Theatre Pleases Large Audiences The vaudeville that is being offered to the patrons of the Hershey Park Theatre is of the best. The four acts presented the first part of the week are excellent. The bill is a well-balanced one, and with the feature reel "Mike", a most entertaining two hours' show is the result. The Park management is putting forth every effort to present high-grade vaude-ville, and has gone to considerable expense in order tp secure the calibre of acts that will meet the approval of their patrons. The acts come direct from New York City. The program for the first part of the week was as follows: Overture by Carpenter's Orchestra, followed by the showing of the feature reel "Mike"—and it was so good that the audience applauded it. The first number of the vaudeville was that of Alfredo and Jeanette, who pre-sented a novelty acrobatic act par ex-cellence, and made a hit. The second number was that of Adams & Harris, in a skit that was right up to the minute, and went big. Phil Davis, in songs and jokes, got a lot of laughs. His humor is clean and his singing is good. Mr. Davis played in Hershey 18 years ago, and he says "Her-shey sure has changed—more beautiful than ever." The feature act is the Art Sisters & Company in "Dancing Some." They do not do a lot of wild Charleston stuff, but present an act that is clever, refined and pleasing. The stage- setting was original and attractive. The program for the remainder of the week promises to be just as entertaining as the opening bill. Popular prices prevail—reserved seats, 50c; general admission, 30c; children, 20c. Curtain rises at 7.45 o'clock. Box office is open daily from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. Both phones, 18-M. Tickets available one week in advance. ?enrod "LPresented by Graduating Class If the success of a production depends upon the number of "laughs" it produces, then "Penrod" achieved the heights. Millard Garver, in the title role, was every-thing that a mischevious American boy should be, freckled of face, franzy of head, and independent of nature. He and Harold Sours, as Sam Williams, created a splendid illusion of young America as everyone knows it. To complete "the gang", Patty Miller and Parke Spancake, as two darky boys, helped to round out the more youthful side of the play. Ernestine Allison, as Mrs. Schofield, and Jack Parry, as Mr. Schofield, ably por-trayed the worried parents of a fun-loving son. Beulah Shaffner , as Margaret Scho-field , gave a splendid picture of a much abused older sister of such a boy as Penrod. Luther Hinkel, as Bob Williams, and Carl Snavely, as Mr. Dode, were realistically played to show the contrasts in their nature and their love for Margaret. Credit must also go to Elsie Brehm, Annabel Shaffer, Charlotte Heil, Dick Sponaugle, Sam Curry, Elso Elsarelli, Harry Fasnacht, Harry Howard and Parke Yingst, for the very fine way in which they supported the principals. Miss Helen Gilson, who coached "Pen-rod," is to be congratulated upon the suc-cess of the production. The High School Orchestra played sev-eral light and pleasing selections before and after the play. Concerts at Hershey Park A concert will be given at the Hershey Park bandshell every Wednesday and Saturday evenings, from 6.30 to 7.30 o'clock. The concert on Saturday evening will be given by the Merrymakers Orches-tra, of Lebanon. On Wednesday evening of next week the attraction will be "Ted Brownagle and His Orchestra, of Harris-burg. On Sunday afternoon , June 6th, Gordon Kibler and Ills Orchestra , of Miami, Fla., will give a concert from 2.30 to 5 p. m. This orchestra is one of the top-notchers— don 't fail to hear it.

Sousa to Begin His
34th Season at
Hershe y July 4th
Two days less than four months from the
conclusion of his longest and most strenu-ous
tour, Lieut. Com. John Philip Sousa,
beloved American composer-conductor,
will pick up his baton again for another
season. On March 6, 1926, in Richmond,
Va., Sousa concluded his thirty-third an-nual
season of forty-two weeks and 30,000
miles. On July 4, in Hershey, he will
begin his thirty-fourth season at the head
of his own organization, playing a hvo-days'
engagement in the Hershey Park
Convention Hall.
Sousa's new season will not be as long as
that of last year. One year in two, Sousa
reserves the right to a holiday in duck-hunting
time, and therefore, the tour will
be of only twenty weeks, and will end in
Baltimore, about the middle of November,
which is the time when the ducks are most
plentiful along Chesapeake Bay.
The "wearing qualities" of Sousa were
given a severe test during the past season.
Although he has been constantly before the
American people for a third of a century,
the total number of persons (2,032,409)
who paid admission to his performances
was the greatest of his entire career. He is
the one musician before the American
people, apparently, who is always certain
of a welcome, regardless of the place or the
season of the year. Last season he varied
his usual route with a trip into Western
Canada. This season, in addition to his
American engagements, he will make a
brief tour of the Maritime Provinces of
Canada.
Sousa's program this year will be dis-tinguished
by the unusual number of
novelties, not the least of which will be his
own arrangements of popular Jazz tunes.
Marion Talley Charms
Large Audience at
Convention Hall
Three thousand persons greeted Marion
Talley at the Hershey Convention Hall on
Sunday afternoon and sat enraptured by
the flowing golden tones of the charming
Kansas City girl. .
Miss Talley's fine sense of pitch, her
immovability in sureness of herself, swung
the audience to her and her listeners were
gripped by her artistic personality, winning
her audience from the moment of her en-trance
and sending them into raptures of
praise after her first aria, "Una Voce Poco
Fa," from Rossini*s "Barber of Seville. '
Her singing is in no way affected, nor does
it sound studied, and so her hearers derive
distinct pleasure. Miss Talley's voice, of
course, has not yet attained its fullness and
full warmth, but its freshness is beautiful
and it is soothing in its velvety smoothness.
Miss Talley's musical diction is as per-fect
as human endeavor can make it and in
the selection of her program she chose
wisely and well. Nothing she sang was
over the heads of her auditors and even
those in the remotest spaces of the large
auditorium understood her every word.
She stood out brilliantly in the familiar
"home" songs, and the little less familiar
numbers from several of the standard
Wind operas. Her stacatto notes in "The
ren," by Benedict, regarded as the acid
test for sopranos and usually sung with
flute accompaniment to prove similarity
of tones, were vocally marvelous and
proved absolutely true placement. The
large assemblage demanded repeated en-cores,
which were graciously given.
Miss Talley's stage presence is that of an
unaffected girl, which, if she maintains
despite her unprecedented success, will
make her one of the most popular figures
on the American concert stage.
Maxmilian Rose, violinist, assisted Miss
Talley and, with his mastery of his in-strument
and fine personality, completely
captured the audience. He played a slow
movement from Cluck's ballet as an
encore.
Emil Polak played the accompaniments
for both artists in an unrivalled manner.

5,000 Delegates to
Attend Christian
Endeavor Convention
Five thousand delegates will gather at
Hershey Park to attend the twelfth bi-ennial
Pennsylvania State Christian En-deavor
Convention on Monday, June 28th
to Saturday, July 3rd. ¦
The program promises to be one of the
best ever presented at the State Conven-tion.
. Prominent speakers have been
secured. There will be conferences dealing
with every phase of Christian- Endeavor
work, under capable leadership.;
A Quiet Hour service will be conducted
each morning from 8.15 to 9.15 o'clock in
front of the Hershey Park band shell,
under the direction of Rev. Floyd Tomp-kins,
of Philadelphia. Rev. Tompkins
has inspired thousands at other conven-tions
by these services and the Endeavors
are eagerly looking forward to his presence
in Hershey.
The afternoons will be devoted to re-creation;
which will be in charge of three
prominent members of the National Board
of Recreation.
A section of the Dauphin County Chris-tian
Endeavor choir of 200 voices that will
help swell the chorus of 500 voices for this
convention, was organized in the Pine
Street Presbyterian Church this week. J.
Frank Palmer, alumni superintendent of
the Dauphin County C. E. Union, is the
director.
The plan for organizing the choir for the
State convention, Mr. Palmer explained,
is to have different branches of the C. E.
Union organize smaller choirs, or sections
of the large choir, practice the hymns that
are to be sung, and finally, the evening
before the convention, all go to Hershey for
a final rehearsal. Lebanon County will
send its quota, as well as other towns and
counties nearby. ,

choir leader, who assisted "Billy" Sunday
in his evangelistic campaigns, will be the
director of the State choir at Hershey.

of all who are interested in leading church
choirs and Christian Endeavor choruses, at
which Mr. Rodenhaver will give practical
talks and demonstrations upon directing
a choir.
Riii-Tin-Tin Is At His
Best In "The Night Cry"
at Park This Week
Rin-Tin-Tin, the famous dog star, has
his own place in screen popularity where
he stands alone as an attraction.
In "The Night Cry," which will be the
attraction at the Hershey Park Theatre on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings,
June 3d, 4th and 5th, Rinty proves more
remarkable an actor than ever. The in-telligence
he displays in his screen work is
not only a credit to the direction of Her-man
Raymaker, but a never ceasing source
of wonder to Rin-Tin-Tin's audiences.
"The Night Cry" gets its title from the
weird cry of a vulture which preys on a
flock of sheep, while suspicion of the com-munity
falls upon Rinty, the shepherd dog.
How Rinty rescues his master's baby from
the giant condor, how in a thrilling fight he
kills the bird of prey, and vindicates him-self
forms the theme of the story, written
by Phil Klein and Edward Meagher.
The supporting cast of "The Night Cry"
includes June Marlowe, who has frequently
been seen with Rinty; John Harron , Gayne
Whitman, Don Alverado, Heinie Conklin,
and Mary Louise Miller.
Aboundingin thrills, beauty, and homely
sentiment, 'The Night Cry" is certain to
please all picture goers.

strong Richland team on the Hershey
Park field on Monday afternoon , (Decora-tion
Day) |and was defeated by a score of
8 to 6.
This was the first game that the I Icrshcy

splendid calibre of baseball. The team
was in the running at all times, and if they
had received a few breaks of the game, the
victory might have been theirs.
Leitheiser behind the bat put up a great
game. He was right handy with the bat ,
getting four lively swats. Storm pitched a
good game.
Owing to the heavy ram on l uesday
evening, the I-ower Dauphin County

The remodeling of the beautiful Hershey
Inn building will be completed this week,
and the dining rooms will be opened to the
public on Saturday. The Ehzabethtown
High School Alumni will hold their ban-quet
in the main dining room on Friday
evening. The Arcadia Orchestra, of Har-risburg,
will furnish the music.
The Hershey Inn is beautifully designed,
the interior as well as the exterior. Every
effort was made to provide beauty, charm
and utility.
The spacious foyer leading to the dining
room, will also be used as a waiting room
for the patrons of the Hershey Transit
Company. The walls are of travatine, of
a morine finish , diffusing a quiet, restful
hue. The ceiling is of a Spanish texture,
stippled , and harmonizes with the walls.
The floor is of terrazza, hard as flint and of
exceedingly high polish and beauty.
In the foyer, just inside the central
doorway, is a built-in booth, composed of
travatine. Here one may purchase candy,
magazine and novelties. To the right is
the office of the Hershey Transit Company.
THE HERSHEY INN
A broad staircase, off the foyer, with
railings of wrought iron and bronze, leads
to the second floor of the Inn, containing
100 guest rooms, with every convenience.
From the foyer three entrances lead to
as many dining rooms. To the left one
enters the main dining room, paneled in
rich walnut. Illumination is provided by
large chandeliers swung from the ceiling
and by wall brackets. The main dining
room contains 17 tables. Adjoining, is the
auxiliary dining room, containing 15
tables. In the main dining room there is
a large space for dancing purposes.
The middle door from the foyer leads to
the "Dutch Room", with beamed ceilings
and high-backed seats. Illumination is
provided by ornamental side brackets.
This room has a capacity of 40 persons.
To the right one enters the cafeteria, an
unusually large room, seating 400 persons.
The interior is painted in rich green and
cream, creating a most pleasing effect.
Not only is there an atmosphere of restful-ness
and repose in this spacious cafeteria ,
but in the other three dining rooms as well.
The many windows in the Inn, with their
beautiful draperies, which are most artistic
in appearance, are so placed that they not
only light the interior of the building, but
also add to its beauty by the pleasing
harmony of their placement.
The kitchen and serving pantry is com-plete
and modern in every detail. The
equipment includes all of the latest de-vices
used in the culinary art.
In all of these dining rooms good food at
fair prices will be the rule. The service
will be a la carte.
From the foyer , as well as from the
main dining rooms, stairways descend to
the comfort rooms, four in number, with
white tiled floors-and walls.
A large parking area for cars has been
provided on Cocoa avenue.
With the opening of the dining rooms of
the Hershey Inn the other dining rooms
in the town, with the exception of the Her-shey
Tea House and Hershey Park restau-rant,
will be closed.

Thrills, Romance and
Drama in "Under West-ern
Skies" Next Week
The biggest wheat ranch in Eastern
Oregan figures in "Under Western Skies,"
an Edward Sedgwick-Universal-Jewel pro-duction,
having an all-star cast that is to
be the attraction at the Hershey Park
Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wed-nesday,
June 7th , 8th and 9th. This thril-ling
picture story of the Oregon wheat
fields abounds in much beautiful photo-graphy
and in this respect is one of the
most artistic film plays yet produced.
To say that much of the picture was
made on the largest wheat ranch in that
part of the state is saying much for Eastern
Oregon is filled with great fields of wheat.
It is one of the most picturesque and de-lightful
spots in the West, according to
Norman Kerry, who plays the leading male
role in this big production.
The story of "Under Western Skies" has
to do with the efforts of a group of New
York hankers to obtain control of the
wheat fields by refusing to loan money to
the farmers at a time when they needed
funds with which to pay their farm hands.
The bankers thus hoped to force the
farmers to sell at a very low figure. Into
this situation as a farm hand comes a
young Easterner, turned out by his wealthy
father and not knowing that his father is
the ringleader of the wolves of Wall Street.
Among the many big scenes of the pic-ture
are those showing the famous Pendle-ton
, Oregon , Round-Up, the ixicr of all
American cowboy sixirting events, for it
brings into the arena the best bronco-busters,
lariat throwers and horsemen to
be found on the cattle ranges of the West
and Southwest. It is the most spectacular
event of its kind in the country and makes
a thrilling and entertaining picture in it-self.
Sedgwick, who wrote and directed
"Under Western Skies," has brought the
round-up into the picture story in smooth
and easy fashion.

interest of the children. The colors used

and well-chosen. In all the work the
ability of the children was well-displayed.

Everyonce in awhile I take my girl
For a ride in the open spaces.
We leave the country far behind,
, And we go where there are no traces
Of traffic jams or traffic cops
Or sidewalks packed with people.
We pass wide fields, a little town,
A church with-pointing steeple.
And we smile at the rustic scenes we see
From the seat of our financed flivver :
A farmer working late at night
In the corn by the winding river;
A farm lad running with a fish
Toward home and busy mother;
A blacksmith shoeing one black horse
That stands beside another.
And we smile with a less than half-souled
smile
And with more than a half-souled long-ing,
We scarcely care to smile at all,
We wish we were belonging
To this enchanting scheme of things,
This carefree life bucolic.
We sigh, "The things that might have been
Aw, ain't life melancholic?"
Says the Man with the Marble Top,
the School of Hard Knocks doesn't go in

Clayt Dibble of the Liberty Cross Roads
Drug Store, where Doc Drake's Corn
Licker, Good to the Last Drop, is still
dispensed, was given a supply of poppies to
sell for the American Legion a couple of
years ago. He sold them all but ten. These
he gave to his nearest relatives in town to
wear till after Decoration Day when the
crisis was passed, Ciayt turned in his
money for the poppies he had sold and also
the ten poppies he had loaned to his nearest
relatives in town.
People who were somewhere else during
the Talley concert missed the musical
treat of their lives.
A certain sassiety lady of New York
says:
"A very modern painter was about to
show me a new painting. As he took the
cloth from off the easel, I clasped my
hands and said :
"Oh, how lovely?"
"Wait a minute, said he.'It 's upside
down.' "
"Then he turned the painting round and
I said!
'Oh, now it's lovelier still!' "
Mr. Coolidge seized my hand and. said,
"How do you do?" Then he seized it
again and said, "Goodbye."

Asked to define life, the wife of the
champion long distance walker came out
with her version, "Life is one darned sock
after another."
Deejay, says the Girl in Blue, somebody
tells me you are so lazy you put off writing
the Smokestack as long as you possibly
can every week. I don 't believe you take
much interest in your work. Why I have
heard you even wait till Three O clock in
the Morning of the day the printer wants
your stuff before you take your pen in
hand. Is that nice? No wonder every
once in a while you turn out a column that
reads the same way city water tastes out of
the spigot on a hot day. Why don't you
pull yourself together and write two or
three columns in advance and not wait for
necessity to spur you on to endeavor?
We would like to know the answer to
that very question. It has stumped us for
quite some time. Surely, as the Potato
Bug said when he tasted the Paris Green,
here is food for thought.
Suggestion to Young Edisoni
(and Henry Ford)
In this fair land and free, we have been
making rapid strides along the path of in-vention,
but there are still plenty of things
just waiting for some bright young man or
woman to come along and invent them. It
indeed doth seem a pitiful thing that so
many natural sources of power in our
country stand in their stalls, unharnessed
for the public good. F'rinstance look at
all the hot air going to waste, with coal

Vaudeville at Hershey
Park Theatre Pleases
Large Audiences
The vaudeville that is being offered to
the patrons of the Hershey Park Theatre
is of the best. The four acts presented the
first part of the week are excellent. The
bill is a well-balanced one, and with the
feature reel "Mike", a most entertaining
two hours' show is the result.
The Park management is putting forth
every effort to present high-grade vaude-ville,
and has gone to considerable expense
in order tp secure the calibre of acts that
will meet the approval of their patrons.
The acts come direct from New York City.
The program for the first part of the
week was as follows:
Overture by Carpenter's Orchestra,
followed by the showing of the feature reel
"Mike"—and it was so good that the
audience applauded it.
The first number of the vaudeville was
that of Alfredo and Jeanette, who pre-sented
a novelty acrobatic act par ex-cellence,
and made a hit.
The second number was that of Adams
& Harris, in a skit that was right up to the
minute, and went big.
Phil Davis, in songs and jokes, got a lot
of laughs. His humor is clean and his
singing is good. Mr. Davis played in
Hershey 18 years ago, and he says "Her-shey
sure has changed—more beautiful
than ever."
The feature act is the Art Sisters &
Company in "Dancing Some." They do
not do a lot of wild Charleston stuff, but
present an act that is clever, refined and
pleasing. The stage- setting was original
and attractive.
The program for the remainder of the
week promises to be just as entertaining
as the opening bill.
Popular prices prevail—reserved seats,
50c; general admission, 30c; children, 20c.
Curtain rises at 7.45 o'clock.
Box office is open daily from 10 a. m. to
10 p. m. Both phones, 18-M. Tickets
available one week in advance.
?enrod "LPresented
by Graduating Class
If the success of a production depends
upon the number of "laughs" it produces,
then "Penrod" achieved the heights.
Millard Garver, in the title role, was every-thing
that a mischevious American boy
should be, freckled of face, franzy of head,
and independent of nature. He and
Harold Sours, as Sam Williams, created a
splendid illusion of young America as
everyone knows it. To complete "the
gang", Patty Miller and Parke Spancake,
as two darky boys, helped to round out the
more youthful side of the play.
Ernestine Allison, as Mrs. Schofield, and
Jack Parry, as Mr. Schofield, ably por-trayed
the worried parents of a fun-loving
son. Beulah Shaffner , as Margaret Scho-field
, gave a splendid picture of a much
abused older sister of such a boy as Penrod.
Luther Hinkel, as Bob Williams, and Carl
Snavely, as Mr. Dode, were realistically
played to show the contrasts in their
nature and their love for Margaret.
Credit must also go to Elsie Brehm,
Annabel Shaffer, Charlotte Heil, Dick
Sponaugle, Sam Curry, Elso Elsarelli,
Harry Fasnacht, Harry Howard and Parke
Yingst, for the very fine way in which they
supported the principals.
Miss Helen Gilson, who coached "Pen-rod,"
is to be congratulated upon the suc-cess
of the production.
The High School Orchestra played sev-eral
light and pleasing selections before and
after the play.
