Creatore's Band to
Playln Hershey
Creatore 's Band , which consists of fifty
pieces, led by the peer of all bandmasters ,
Guiseppe Creat ore, who, as a master
musician, gets the highest results and the
last atom of feeling and expression from his
men and the Var ied instruments composing
his-wonderful organization , has been se-cured
for a return engagement , and will
give four concerts , afternoon and evening,
on Saturday and Sunday, August 25th and
26th, playing in the Hershey Park Con-vention
Hall.
Creatore 's Band is the most brilliant
musical organization playing before the
public today. This band plays all the
principal cities and parks of America, and
also plays for the Edison Phonograph Com-pany,
and during Hershey 's 20th Anniver-sary
Celebration made a most favorable
impression.
Everyone who heard Creatore 's Band at
the concerts given at the Park Band Shell
will attest to the fact that it is in a class by
itself , filling an individual niche in Amer-ica's
musical world. Wherever the band
plays Creatore proves a smashing success,
his audiences becoming so enthusiastic that
they leap to their feet and exclaim in loud
term s their appreciation of this wonderful
band. ,.
The perfect control gained by Creatore
over his musicians , especially in the balanc-ing
of his instrumentation is notable. The
wood, reed and brass instruments do most
effective work , the ensemble being perfect
at all times. He produces marvellous
effects—flashes of dazzling light , rich
purple shadows, masses of tremendous
harmony.
To hear Creatore 's Band is worth going
miles to hear. He will give concerts in
Hershey Park Convention Hall on Satur-day
afternoon at 3:30 and Saturday eve-ning
at 8.-00. On Sunday afternoon he
will give a concert at 3:30 and at 8:00 in
the evening.
The music lovers of Lebanon Valley-should
turn out enmasse on the two days
that Creatore 's Band plays in Hershey, and
every seat should be taken at each and
every concert.
There will be a charge of 50 cents for
reserved seats, the proceeds/ of which will
be for the benefit of the Hers hey Red Cross.
The reserved seat chart will be in charge
of John Sollenberger , at the Hershey Trust
Co., on and after August 1st.
Horseshoe Pike Bids
Are Rejected
County Commissioners on Friday re-jected
all of the six bids opened last
Wednesda y and decided to abandon the
reconstruction work on the Horseshoe Pike.
The commissioners claimed the prices
offered in the contractors ' bids were higher
than antici pated and thoug ht it advisable
to drop the project from their road building
program for the present. Due to the fact
that labor and materials are at a high plane
at this time the commissioners probably
will not re-advertise for bids this year.
There was a prevailing feeling that the
commissioners want to build some more
road this year and a resolution was
adopted requesting the State Highway
Department to announce what progress
has, been made toward completing plans
and specifications for the rebuilding of the
road between Elizabethville and Berrys-burg.
It was intimated by the commis-sioners
that they consider this road more
necessary at this time than the Horseshoe
Pike.
P. L. Risser, head of the Risser & Co., of
Lebanon , submitted the lowest bid for the
paving of the Horseshoe Pike , which was
$180,925.14. The pike is about five and
one-half miles in length.

On Wednesda y evening Hershey de-feated
Carlisle at Carlisle by the score of
6-2, which made Hershey 's fourth victory
over this team.
Cprmers , a star pitcher , of Lancaster ,
was easy, his offerings being very much to
the liking of Hersfiey, and 11 hits were the
result. Hepting was in excellent form, and
Carlisle was unable to do very much , gett-ing
but 4 hits.

On Thursda y evening Hershey defeated
Columbia 6 to 5 in a hard-fought game on
the Hershe y diamond. The game was
featured by the hard hittin g of H. Brown,
McCurd y and Baldwin.
Hershey started out like wild fire , scoring
four runs in the first inning. Columbia
got going in the second inning and played
the game like winners.
There was a thrillin g climax in the 7th
inning. Two men were out , and two men
were on bases. Fry, the pinch hitter ,
poked the ball on the nose for a clean
drive to centre field. Heffelfinger spurted
and scooped it in for an out—and the game
was over. And we all said it was a good
game.

Willlamstown walked on the Hershe y
diamond on Saturday afternoon and
slaughtered Hershey, 16 to 6.
All pitchers looked alike to the Williams-town
sluggers, knocking the wind out of
Hepting 's sails In two innings, and Menear
lasted about as long. Bybee thought he
could stem the tide by his spit ball , but it
was all in his Imagination , and Smith , a
new recrui t, was pressed into service. The
Willlamstown sluggers by this time had
had enough battin g practice so we are
unable to say just how good Smith is, but
the opinion seems to be that he hasn't got
the goods.
The Hershey team played as thou gh
Willlam stown had given them the jinx
sign. Theu did try to come back in the
last two innings but the task was too
much for them.

As we view it, this is a most remarkable
record , which is proof conclusive that a
community nurse in Hershey and vicinity
indeed fills a most needed want.
Miss High is ready to go into any home
and give skilled nursin g care , and also to
teach people how to keep well. The price
is whatever you feel that you are able to
give.
In other years drives were made in order
to raise funds for this purpose. This year
an easier plan has been brought about , as
follows:
Creatore 's Band will give four conscerts
in the Hershey Park Convention Hall on
Saturday and Sunday, August 25th and
26th , afternoons and evenings. The re-served
seat sale will be 50 cents a person.
The proceeds of the four concerts will be
donated to this wonderful work. Each
one of us can do our share by buying tickets
for these concerts , and also interesting our
friends in other communities to attend.
Each one of us should arise to the occa-sion
and do our part , endeavoring to fill the
Convention Hall to its utmost capacity at
each and every concert.
We all remember the splendid concerts
given by Creatore 's Band during Hershey 's
20th Anniversary Celebration , and we can
look forward to wonderful musical treats in
the Convention Hall.
Help your own Red Cross to "Carry On"
and boost the concerts at your every op-portunity.

ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY
Don't Miss "Smitin'
Through" This Week
Smilin' Through ," the great comedy
success by Allan Langdon Martin which
was originally produced in New York
with Jane Cowl and a superlative support-ing
cast, has been selected as the offering at
the Hershey Park Theatre Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week.
The story of "Smilin ' Through" -rafter a
prologu e that is far too unique to be spoiled
by being told in advance , starts in the
garden of a crusty old man who has as his
ward, a delightful wisp of an Irish girl with
all the charm of the central figure in "Peg
O' My Heart ". For years he has bitterly
remembered the fact that another man has
won the woman whom he loved. There-fore,
when he finds that this girl has fallen
in love with the son of the man, he is fur-ious
and swears that they shall never
marry.
Right here, comes in the quaintness of
the piece. Back through the hazy film of
years that have passed comes memory
visualized. He lives over again the years
he cannot forget and from them learns the
lesson that he had never learned before
with the result that , when the young lover
returns, he permits them to be happy and ,
in so doing, finds happiness himself.
While there is a sweetness and inimitable
charm in the story of "Smilin 1 Through" ,
the skill with which the characters are
drawn is probably ! the most attractive
feature of this great play. It is one play in
a hundred.
The cast is as follows:
John Carteret Gordon Ruffin
Dr. Owen Harding Frederick Clayton
Ellen Helen Potter Ja ckson
Kathleen Dimgannon
Miss Ella Kramer
Willie Audrey Bruno Wick
Keneth Wayne . . . Clarence fceRoy
Mary Claire Genevieve Berkeley
Alicia Estelle Clayton

Boy" by the Ella Kramer Stock Co. The
latter part of next week, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday promises to provide perhaps
the most delightful theatrical entertain-ment
that local audiences have ever had.
"It 's A Boy", which is from the pen of
William Anthony McGuire , one of the
younger and most promising of modern
dramatists , was originally presented at the
Harris Theatre in New York by Sam H.
Harris. A comedy based on American
life as it is today, it presents the problems
of the first two years , in the average young
couple's existence, in a manner that wins
the instant approval of theatregoers.
"It 's A Boy" is the story of the aspira-tions
of a young couple to climb to the
pinnacle of big business via the New York
route. They sell out their interests in a
small town and start doing the Park Ave-nue
thing on a ten thou sand dollar salary.
Most people do that nowadays and most
people, like this couple, hit the bumps and
find themselves without income, in the hole
and cut off from the friends who clung to
them so long aa they could furnish the
whip that makes the mare of excitement go.
But In "It 's A Boy" the couple are young,
In love with one another and have courage.
So they decide to cast aside all the shams
of the city, pocket their pride , go back to
the little home town and begin all over
again. Just at this point the boy's father
arrives on the scene. He gives them the
money they were to receive after his death
and this is the first stone on which they
plant their feet for the same, upward climb,
"It' s A Boy" teaches a lesson without
becoming a sermon and It puts it over with
the most irresistibly funny comedy in the
world. There are more laughs to the
minute In "It' s A Boy" than any play
you've seen In ages. There are a few tears
to balance off with .
The theatregoer today isn't satisfied
with straight fun, He wants a modicum
of common sense mixed In with It. He gets
that In "(It' s A Boy". The McGuire
comedy Is as skillful a combination of
sense and nonsense, hokum and horse
sense as has been written in a long time.
Don't miss seeing it at the Hershey
Park Theatre on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of next week, It 's a genuine
treat and the Ella Kramer Stock Co. will
leave no stone unturned to see that you get
the best that they have to give.
