I found this video of the famous General Hershey bar that we took in a peace march in 1967. I have six hours of family movies digitalized. I want to redo them because I don't like the quality. SIX HOURS from 1954 to the 1970s.
General Hershey Bar was a satirical character of the Vietnam War-era Anti-War protest movement, portrayed by William "Bill" Matons, in a parody of U.S. General Lewis B. Hershey, then Director of the Selective Service.
Born William Arthur Matons in September 1906 and died October 13, 1993 (dates not verified).[1] Bill Matons danced under his birth name in the 1930s in the Modern Dance worlds of New York. Matons then began to use Calypso Kid, on stage and on the radio during the Calypso Craze of the 40s. He also used Calypso Joe, a stage name created when he was a calypso dancer, promoter, night club owner in the 40s and 50s.[2] Finally, in the 1960s he adopted the name General Hershey Bar. He kept the name the rest of his life, and most of the time in public he stayed 'in character' as part of his anti-war street-theater.
