              HER SHEY MOVIES
IN THE SCHOOLS
Letter From the Superintendent of
Public Schools of Butte, Mon-tana,
Pronounces the Her-shey
Plan a Telling Means
of Giving Instruction
It is well known that the Hershey
Chocolate Company has a staff of lectur-ers
exhibiting the. moving pictures of the
factory and the town in various parts of
the country. Tens of thousands, of people
have seen these pictures and have been
warm in their appreciation and praise.
An idea of how they impress the educators
may be found in the following letter
written from Butte, Montana, under date
of April 6th :
"I am indeed pleased to say something
in commendation, of the lectures which you
gave in our schools, and which we found
of so much interest and value.
"Your illustrated.lectures on the cocoa
and chocolate industry have been a reve-lation
to me as to the value of this kind of
visual instruction in the public schools.
I have always believed that the motion
pictures, when accompanied by proper ex.
planatory Aalks or lectures, is one of the
most telling means of giving informational
instruction. Prior to your visit I had pre-vailed
upon the. Board to install a booth
and make plans for securing a first class
motion picture equipment, for our new
high school auditorium. Your visit was
most timely, in as much as it enabled me
to get some first hand information regard-ing
the value of this kind of work.
"We have secured some splendid re-sults
in English expression from the pupils
since you left, the material being drawn
from their impressions of your lectures.
I only wish that we could have all of the
more important industries as well covered
for our pupils each year.
"I am also pleased to state that the ref-erences
to the Hershey Company were all
of the nature to which no Board of Trus-tees
should object , on the ground of the
lectures constituting an advertising scheme
Please feel free to refer to me at any time.
Yours Very Truly,
GEORGE F. DOWNER
Superintendent of the Public Schools,
Butte, Montana.

Most Remarkable Film Ever Taken to
be Shown in Hershey by Special
Arrangement. Prize Attrac-tions
Secured for the Next
Two Weeks. Come
It is the purpose of Hershey to be the
real center of interest and .entertain-ment
for the people of 'Lebanon Valley.
That is one of the reasons the moving
pictures have been presented at Hershey
Central Theater at so low a price as five
cents. The policy will be made more
attractive, and for the next.week or ten
days film features will be presented that
could be seen nowhere else for less than
several times the sum charged in Her-shey.
Even the famous Geraldine Farrar
reels of Carmen have been secured and
this wonderful picture—said to b'e the
most remarkable ever taken—will be
shown Monday night. There is great in-terest
in the Frank Daniels picture "What
Happened to Father," -which will be shown
Saturday night and a crowded house is
expected. The following is the schedule:
Thursday April 20—The "Universal
present the dramatic star; Hobart Bos-worth
in Augustus Thomas' huge Broad-,
way success, "Colorado.".
Saturday, April 22—A five act comedy
Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature starring
Frank Daniels in "What Happened to
Father." Mr. Daniels is the Comic Opera
King of the film world.
Monday, April 24—Geraldine Farrar in
Carmen. This is perhaps the greatest
film ever screened and it was only by special
arrangement that the Paramount Film
Company agreed to send this play to
Hershey.
Wednesday, April 26— Margueriete
Clark in "The Seven Sisters.". This young
and famous actress can count her friends
by the thousands; many of them are in
Hershey.

Nation."
FIREMEN'S FAIR POSTPONED
Decided to Hold it the Second Week in
• May
It has been decided to hold the great,
fair of the Hershey Volunteer Fire Com-pany
during the second week in May.
Conditions will then be more favorable
and the weather will probably be more
seasonable. It will also enable the members
to make the arrangements more complete.
The idea is to produce an affair that will
be the most attractive and striking ex-position
of its kind that Lebanon Valley
has ever known.
There will be a special meeting of the
Fire Company Friday evening and all the
members are asked to be on hand. Im-portant
measures are to be considered .
GOLF SEASON STARTS
The fine weather on Sunday was wel-come
to the local golf players and the
course was the scene of several interest-ing
matches. Ed. Dearie, the local in-structor
, made his first appearance of the
season and was in splendid form. All the
other participants got off to good starts
and the golf season in Hershey promises
to be a most interesting one The course
was never more beautiful., The^ald farm
house, has been removed and this is a
great improvement,
PICTURES TUESDAY NIGHT

Theater under the auspices of the Men's

OVER SE VEN THO USAND
AT HERSHE Y FL OWER SHOW
LARGEST APRIL CROWD IN THE HISTORY OF THE TOWN
MANY CAME FROM ELIZABETHTOWN AND OTHER LAN-CASTER
POINTS AND THE NEW LINE DID RECORD
BUSINESS. EXTRA CARS HAD TO BE PUT ON TO
ACCOMMODATE PALMYRA. BAND CONCERT.
Usually the Hershey season opens the
last of May on Memorial Day, but this
year the Flower Show and Sunday's
genial sunshine brought more than' seven
thousand visitors to the town.
Throughout the week the fame of the
Flower Show had spread but the weather
had not been favorable. .In spite of wind
and cold, however, at least five thousand
persons came on the seven preceding
days, and then the bright beautiful Sun-day
added its seven thousand and brought
the.total for the show up to over 12,000.
This more, than fulfilled all expecta2*
tions and Harry Haverstick was the hap-piest
man in Pennsyylvania, for it was his
pride and hard work that brought to-gether
the most interesting and lovely col-lection
of blooms ever seen in Lebanon
Valley. Indeed, its equal has not been
known outside the very large cities.
Early in the day the machines began to
roll in and the trolley cars began to
be crowded. Superintendent Kreider saw
what .was coming arid promptly increased
the service, and so everything was handled
smoothly. The automobiles arrived and
departed continuously arid it looked like
a big day in the midst of the. summer
seasons There was no accident of any
kind and not a case of disorder. It was a
fine, well-dressed, good-natured crowd
bent on enjoying itself.
All went to the three conservatories and
the zoo and were enthusiastic in the ap-preciation
and admiration. There were
many children and family parties were the
rule. Hershey was the center of all the
country around. There were more visitors
to the mansion grounds than at any time
this . year and hundreds walked to the
Round Barn. Here, top, automobile
parties went and enjoyed Hershey milk.
The cafe and quick lunch were liberally
patronized. In fact there was activity
everywhere. It was a practical opening of
the Hershey season.
-In the Park Amphitheater the Hershey
Band gave an elaborate concert from 2 to
5. Many remained through the whole
program but thousands of others came and
went. Every number was warmly ap-plauded
and Director Feese was as de-lighted
as a spring poet with a bouquet
of daffodils.
The show was proof of the great love of
flowers in this part of the state and its
success means that the Hershey Flower
Show will grow as a regular institution .
Last year it proved to be more popular
than, was expected, and this year it has
scored far heyond the highest hopes of
the community.
In the crowds were florists from Har-risburg,
Lancaster, Lebanon ' and other
points. There were visitors from a dozeri
counties and several states. ,
The show fortunately was at its best.
In addition to the charms noted in these
columns last week the rose bushes were
in bloom and there were many new lilies.
Altogether it was a day of joy and beauty
and another. Hershey record was made.
The conservatories are open daily.. \

A CROWD IN THE STORE
Store Doing Largest Business in its
History
One of the largest crowds, of the year
did all sorts of shopping in the Hershey
Store Saturday afternoon and Saturday
evening. Several thousand people were
there and they included hundreds from
the country near Hershey. It was the
busiest day of the season and as practi-cally
everyone was present it took on the
aspect of a social occasion. The Store is
doing the largest business in its history.
Ail departments are flourishing.
An addition was made in the shoe re-pairing
department last week. A fine
electrical equipment for repairing shoes
was installed . It is one of the most modern
on the market and is known as the Good-year
system. It is an interesting machine
to see in operation and there are many
visitors to. this department.
PROPERTIES IMPROVED
The properties of Galen Hetrick in
Spring Creek avenue have been improved
the past -week. All the outer buildings
have been repaired and painted. The new
concrete walks about the homes add to
the appearance.
NEW RESIDENCES
A. M. Schaffner has begun the carpent-ry
work on the new Keeney residence in
Spring Creek avenue. Mr. Schaffner has
also received contracts to build homes
for A, E, Yingst, Hershey, and Bonus
Erb and Edward O'Neal at Hockersville,
ALUMNI BANQUET
JUNE 22 NEXT
Association Holds . Interesting' Meet-ing
and Hears Debate on Teach-ers'
Salaries. Decides They
Ought to be Increased
Fine Program. Names
The second literary program rendered
by. the Derry Township High School
Alumni Association on Wednesday, April
12, was both interesting and entertain-ing.
It. is encouraging to see the increase
in attendance from time to time. Many
made their initial visits. It is, hoped these
will become regular in their attendance
and bring others.
As usual the program opened, with the
school song "Orange and Blue." The
printed high school songs were on hand
which aided greatly in making them more
effective. ,
A "Responsive Roll Call," the next
number, was liberally met by the members,
who with few exceptions, had either a
maxim or piece of poetry at the tongue's
end.-
"The World at Large" by Norman
Stable, was a comprehensive and inter-esting
treatment of the important events
occuring throughout the world. The items
were intelligently selected and the writer
deserves much credit.
The piano solo by Mary Painter, who
i substituted for Mayme Garman, was up
to Miss . Painter's. usual standard. The
generous applause explains its quality and
appreciativeness.
Much interest was aroused by the debate
which followed. It was timely, being on
the question: "Resolved :' That the Rural
and Grade , Teachers are underpaid,"
debated on the affirmative by Ruth Engle
and George Foreman, and on the nega-tive
by John Stoudt and John Curry. The
affirmative side produced some weighty
^arguments, while the negative side re-
[jsponded rather in a jocular and half-
, hearted manner. . One member of the
((negative side pleaded the question un-idebatable.
However the debate continued
to the end.. The decision of the judges was
unaminiously in favor of the affirmative
side. General discussion followed and after
this a vote of the house was taken, the re-sult
being for the affirmative. The sing-ing
of the High School song ended the
program.
Immediately after the literary program,
the organization turned itself into a busi-ness
session. Since the organization ex-pressed
itself so unanimously in favor of
the affirmative side of the debate, a mo-tion
was passed to the effect that the Ahmv
ni Association make it a platform principle
to assist in raising the slaries of the rural
and grade teachers. The annual banquet
was the next question of importance. It
was decided to hold it at the Hershey
Cafe on the 22nd of June. The following
committ ee was appointed : Christian
Balsbaugh, Carrie Dressier, Conrad Curry.
"Let us all assist in making this year's
banquet a great success, first, by showing
our interest when in company with Alumni
and second, by our presence at the ban-quet,"
said the secretary.

CLUB VESPER SERVICES
For a few weeks the Young Women's
Christian Association Vesper Services will
be under the direction of the Industrial
Clubs, Rev. Henry Piles of Harrisburg
delivered a most inspiring address Tues-day
evening when the Onward girls had
charge of the service, Miss Elizabeth
Pfautz sang a very beautiful solo. Miss
Abagail Gordon presided,
MEN'S CHORUS A
REAL SUCCESS
Large Audience Called it One of the
Best Given in Hershey (or Several '.
Years. Every Number Wa»
Good and There Were Six
Encores. Applause
Last Friday evening in the ' Hershey
Central Theater the Hershey "Men's
Chorus concert scored a genuine success.
The whole affair ¦ was delightful. The
stage was beautifully decorated with
plants, flowers and lanterns and the color
scheme made a most attractive picture.
As the curtain rose the fifteen members on
the club were seen seated in two semi-circles.
All were in evening dress. They
were greeted with applause and this ap-plause
deepened when the director W. L.
Dubois entered and took his position.
There was no delay. Every thing went
with the- precision and smoothness of a
professional performance and there was
never a moment when Director Dubois
did not have every detail in under perfect
control.
The club began promptly the Yacht-ing
Glee" of Culbertson and .it was at
once seen that it had improved enormously
since its concert last year. There was more
certainty, more grasp, more attack, more
enthusiasm, and so the swing of the good
old song came along with melodious
beauty and the audience was captured be-fore
the first stanza was completed. This
continued increasingly throughout the
whole- program and the two hours went
steadily to a climax of satisfaction and
approbation. The club sang nine numbers.
In humor it did best in Macy's "Little
Tommy Went A Fishing," and in melody
it was finest in Brahms' "Lullaby and Good
night," although it seemed to be equally
successful in some others, particularly
Noll's "Doan Ye Cry Ma Honey," and
it showed its fine Volume and power in the
final number, "To Thee,,Oh Country,"
by Eichberg. A special word should also
be said for the tender and graceful rendi-tion
of Mozart's "Drink To Me Only
With Thine Eyes."
The program was rich m special num-bers.
First was the flute and piano selec-tion
from Traviata by Mr. Roberts and
Mr. Bare. Verdi's intricate music is a
test for the flutist and Mr. Roberts showed
himself to be an unusual artist. He played
not only accurately but brilliantly and the
was. an outburst of applause when he con-cluded.
He was obliged to respond to an
encore and he gave "The Wind" so
well that he was warmly applauded again.
Mr. Bare was wholly satisfactory at the
piano and he shared the honors. Later Mr.
Roberts, Mr. Ingram and Mr. Bare, flute,
violin and piano, gave Brahms' "Hun-garian
Dance No. 6," and it proved to be
one of the delights of the evening. Here
Mr. Roberts increased his good work;
Mr. Ingram won admiration for his artist-ry
and Mr, Bare was all that could be de-sired.
The audience loudly demanded an
encore and it was given with very happy
results. One of the events of the evening
was Bohm's medley overture for the man-dolin
and piano by Dr. J. Landis. Zim-merman
and E. J. Krause. It was beauti-fully
done and the applause was notably
warm. For an encore they gave an ex-quisite
slumber song and in this Dr. Zim-merman's
mandolin work was peculiarly
graceful , sincere and compelling, A full
share of credit belongs to Mr. Krause.
The program by the members of the
club would have made a fine concert, but
it was enriched by two very efficient pro-fessionals,
Mr, Brady, the banjoist, and
Mr. Kirk , the entertainer. Both were
capital and they easily won the favor of
the audience. After the concert—which
lasted until almost 10.30—many lingered
to present Iheir congratulations. The audij
enco numbered about 300, There should
have been a crowded house and many
more would have been present had It not
been for the unfavorable weather ,
The members of the Hershey Male
Chorus are as follows: First tenors: W. C.
Drinker , J. Walters, C. L. Peiffeiy J. W;
Scitzinger, Second tenors: ,1. W. Allen,
