"The Monster At
'Central Theatre On
Saturda y Evening
Crane Wilbur's mystery-thriller, "The
Monster," which shared the stage success
of such plays as "The Bat," "The Cat and
the Canary" and "The Last Warning," is
said to have proved even more effective in
its screen version than it was on the stage
Filmed by Roland West, who produced
"The Unknown Purple," it has been
greeted enthusiastically in other cities,
and it will be shown at the Hershey Cen-tral
Theatre on Saturday evening, Dec.
19th, at 6.30 and 8.30 o'clock.
Lon Chaney and Johnny Arthur are the
featured players in a cast that includes
Gertrude Olmsted, Hallam Cooley, Walter
James, Knute Erickson, George Austin
and Ethel Wales. The screen version was
written, in collaboration with Albert G.
Kenyon, by Willard Mack, author of
"Tiger Rose" and Jackie Coogan's pic-tures,
"The Rag Man" and "Little Robin-son
Crusoe." The titles are by the promi-nent
scenarist, C. Gardner Sullivan.
An uproarious comedy element has been
introduced so that the shuddering horrors
of the central theme have a welcome relief.
The story concerns the mysterious disap-pearance
of a number of motorists in the
vicinity of a supposedly abandoned mad-house.
What transpires in the madhouse
into which these motor victims are brought
affords plenty of gruesome terror, and a
mystery that is not cleared up until the
last few minutes. If terror fascinates
you, "The Monster," according to all re-ports,
affords about tiie last word in thrills.
But you are also promised plenty of laughs
f o r your money.
Lutheran Boy Scouts to

Monda y Evening
An evening long to be remembered by
the Boy Scouts of Holy Trinity Lutheran
Church was held last Monday evening in
the basement of the church. The meeting
opened with the order of Scout devotion
under the direction of the Scoutmaster
Rev. Kinports. The Scouts responded to
a 100% roll call and payment of dues. The
business of the meeting was entered into
most heartily as it concerned the arrange-ments
for a Christmas party to be held on
Monday, Dec. 21st at the regular meeting
hour. After the business meeting the
Scouts entered into the investiture cere-mony.
John Shay was invested with the
rank of First Class,. the first scout ot

an excellent record in the Scout program.
The boys are eager for the instruction that
they realize will help them to become better
citizens and the attainment of a high
character . With little encouragement on
the part of the Scoutmaster the scouts are
practicing the daily good turn and a merit
system of reward is being used as incentive
to good scouting. Another patrol was
organized and has been named the Lion
Patrol with Norman Seibert as patrol
leader. Richard Mumma has been ap-pointed

The Smokestack ;
Chirrup!
When the dry spell hits the ?alley
And the sidehills all turn brown,
Then's the time you want to rally
Your spirits and knuckle down.
When the world seems a cheerless prison
Where there is no place for mirth,
When your hopes to heights have risen,
To be dashed again to earth.
When the hens.have all ceased their laying
Though the price of eggs is high,
Keep in mind the good old saying,
"Kid, it ain't no use to cry.
When the cards all run ag'in' you,
Though you don't see how nor why,
Play your hand with all that 's in you,
"Kid, it ain't no use to cry."
We see by the papers where some old
gentleman has been saved, for a time at
least from the fire that consumes. His
faithful dog, Fido or Bruno or Whatever,
awakened him from his peaceful slumbers
just in time for the two to make good their
escape from the burning building. Brave
dog, Fido or Bruno or Whatever! The old
gentleman states that he licked his cheeks
five or six times before he succeeded in
waking him. Here an impish thought in-trudes
into our mind (granted we possess
the last mentioned equipment). If the old
gentleman was asleep, how in Tunker
could he count how many times Fido or
Bruno or Whatever licked the master's
cheek before he succeeded in awakening
him.
There is nothing wrong with the movies
that a fine picture cannot cure.

The little girl was kissing her father good
night. "O daddy," she exclaimed, "aren't
you scratchy to-night."

"Did you, Daddy? Well, then it's—it's

he neglected to fill the coal bin last fall and
is now burning buckwheat coal in the

fire gels too hot , gas forms and blows the
stove door open. This calms down the
fire.
We feel an improvement has been made
by the placing of the State Highway sign
at the cast entrance to Hershey. This
beautiful blue and gold sign announces to
all who believe in signs that they are about

Ever hear the one about the umbrella?
A fellow went to a dance and left his
umbrella standing in the hallway. He felt
it would be safe from any light fingered
inn win who might Impiien along ,for he had
attached to the handle a note which read,
"Don't touch this umbrella. It belongs to
the heavyweight boxing champion of the
world. "
Imagine his surprise when, reaching for
his umbrella , his hand grasped empty air.
I le did , however, notice that the note he
had written was carefully pinned to the
wall. A ix>stRcripl liail been added:
"Your, umbrella now in possession of the
champion long distance runner of the
world. Come and get ill"
"I stood on the bridge at midnight ",

A man ordered a glass of Ixusr and sat

Hershey High Hands -
Gettysburg High a
Surprise Package
Hershey High School basketball team
defeated the Gettysburg H. S. team by the
close score of 41-39. Many former Her-shey
H. S. teams met defeat at the hands
pf the usually strong teams of Gettysburg
H. S. and never before this year has any
Hershey H, S. team been able to conquer
the "battlefield boys." Judging from the
possibilities, one would think that the
"chocolate boys".would be out-classed but
as the Hershey "fans" have seen, they
played their same old brand of basketball.
The game was played in the new cage of
the Hotel Gettysburg and it was attended
by a large crowd which was kept in a con-tinual
suspense. The scoring was started
by "Julie" Purcell the flashy forward of
Coach Palmgren's team, dropping a pretty
field goal from the middle of the floor. The
town people of Hershey have seen "Julie"
perform many floor-wonders but if they
would have seen his floor-work at Gettys-burg
they would agree that it was the most
spectacular game he ever played. "Nig"
Stover, playing opposite Julie, was greatly
responsible for the victory by his-ability to
do quick and sure passing and dribbling.
The two guards, "Toad " Warner and
Marlin Balsbaugh, played a stellar game
and prevented Gettysburg from scoring
at many instances. "Dick" Sponagle, who
takes care of the center position, was jump-ing
a man reaching perpendicularly 6 ft. 5
in. However this did not affect Dick's
tapping of the ball.
In making a long story short the defeat-ing
of the Gettysburg team (which is in a
class with Lancaster, York, Tech and
Lebanon) is giving due credit to the ability
of the local boys.
This Saturday the Hershey boys will
appear in their new uniforms which are in
the colors of orange and blue.
There are also some high-classed teams
to appear on the home schedule, who will
probably offer just as strong opposition as
the Gettysburg boys. Some of these are
Carlisle, Myerstown, Millersville, Carson
Long Institute and probably Lebanon.
The next home game will be played on
Saturday against Linglestown boys and
girls teams. This will be the second league
game. The team which finishes the league
in first place will receive a silver loving cup.

Hershey High Given
Recognition by
Harrisbur g Paper
The Harrisburg Evening News in Mon-day
's issue, commenting on the Gettys-burg
High basketball game, said :
"Hershey defeated Gettysburg, 41 to
39, and in so doing exhibited one of the
greatest shots ever seen on the battlefield
floor. Captain Purcell , ranging from a
forward berth for Hershey, ripped the
Gettysburg defense to shreds in scoring
fifteen field goals, a record tha t may escape
duplication this year. Purcell was every-where
and aided by some superb passing
from Stover, Sponagle, Warner and Bals-baugh
snared basket after basket.
"The setback docs not necessarily prove
that Gettysburg is weak; rather does It
indicate Hershey's true strength, a team
that should prove a stumbling block to
numerous teams this year. Three veterans
from last year are numbered in the battle-field
lineup and the team was expecting a
banner season in the Central Pennsylvania
Scholastic Basketball League."

Hershey H^h-School—
Presents "Kathleen "
This Week
Everything is in readiness for the open-ing
night.of "Kathleen", the big musical
comedy to be presented by students of
Hershey Junior-Senior High School in the
new High School'auditorium on Thursday
and Friday evenings of this week.
"Boy, that 's some snappy show" was the
comment of the favored few who viewed
last night's rehearsal. Splendid lead
characters, good singers and dancers,
light-stepping melody, warbling choruses
and comedians who-feature in the produc-tion.
Apparently this will be the biggest
and best show the High School has ever
attempted to stage.
By far the most popular element in the
show is the comedy line carried by the
"hick"-characters, who are costumed ap-propriately
for the parts carried. Miss
Jessie R. Dersheimer, well-known in and
around the surrounding communities for
her dramatic ability, will interpret the role
of Arabella Wilkins, an old maid and a
regular town gossip. She is wooed and
wen by John Gilman, who takes the part
of "Sheriff Underduck", an old rube
sheriff, graduate of the correspondence
school for private "deteckitives." His
rival is Roy Dundore, as "Teckley Bram-ble",
the best checker player in town. This
group aided by Samuel Curry as "Han's
Swindle", the Dutch store-keeper makes
up the comedy of the show.
Miss Esther Magrini as "Kathleen",
who also takes part in a few songs and
dances, plays opposite Landis Curry as
"Jimmie", her sweetheart. After many
discouragements love triumphs and he
wins her hand in marriage. Jimmie's
rival is Niles Long, who takes the part
of "Ned Rollingston", who is a college
student and portrays the role of a villain,
and also woes Flossy.
Miss Lois Gilman impersonates "Flos-sie"
who is the town vamp and also takes
part in songs and dances.
Harold Sours takes the part of Michael
Flynn, who is a stern and domineering
uncle of Kathleen. He works in colleague
with Ned Rollingston.
The people mentioned above compose
the principals of the cast which is aug-mented
by fifty chorus girls and boys.
The show is staged for the benefit of the
Senior Class Fund for their annual Wash-ington
Trip.
Mr. James Murphy of the Rogers Pro-ducing
Co., of Fostoria, Ohio, is directing
the play, and he is well liked by the cast.
