Pittsburg, Pa., Deo. 8, 1906.
Mr. W. W. Wiley,
Reynoldsvllle, Pa.
Dear Sir:
Not hearing from you recently, we
write asking how soon your people will
be ready to consider proposition from
our company?
We are anxious to get the matter of
a location for our manufacturing plant
decided Upon without delay, at we must
arrange to supply our early spring
trade, hence you can see that we must
decide upon a location very soon.
Our president, Mr. H. W. Case, after
visiting you gave a iavorable re
port of your town, and we feel like tak
ing no other plaoe under consideration
until we know what your people are
going to do.
We have offers from many towns, but
they are held over tor the present. If
your people are Interested In a good
manufacturing industry located In their
town, we will Ibsub a prospectus ready
for distribution, soon after Christmas,
giving full and detailed information of
our line tf manufactures, and future
prospects and possibilities.
The above is a letter received by W.
v; Wiley. It is a stock proposition
and by each business man and real
estate holder subscribing a small
amount of stock we will be able to se
cure a thriving Industry.
The amount you subscribe will benefit
your business, not injnre your property,
and will be the means of making Reyn
oldsville prominent as a manufacturing
centre.
It is true we have elegent facilities
and natural advantages for manufact
uring purposes, but we must offer In
ducements in other ways as many towns
have the amo advantages as we have
and they are offering Inducements.
Mr. Wiley has advised this firm to
Issue their prospectus and proposition
and it is the duty of every person In
terested in the welfare of Reynoldsvllle
to appoint himself a committee of one
to see that this Industry Is located'here.
Let us all say that we are golDg to
make Reynoldsvllle a great manufact

" QUEEN ESTHER'' CRITIC.
Answer to the Criticism in "Volunteer"
on "Queen Esther."
Editor The Star: I would like to
mak a few remarkets Bill Nye said)
regarding the critic who wrote up
"Queen Esther" in the Volunteer last
week. In the first place I think it was
entirely out of place to assume such a
would-be professional attitude in criti
cising the play. He oould not have
written it any stronger if it had been a
professional troupe.
He began by attacking tbe king about
bis unklngly attitudes. The writer Is
so ancient be could probably give us a
pointer on this subject. If the writer
of that article has been so fortunate In
his unlimited travels as to come in con
tact with the distinguished heads of the
existing monarchies the one so rudely
criticised would write bis gratitude on
the tabernacles of his memory If he
would condescend to give Instruction in
the atitudes which a king should as
sume. Regarding Queen Esther I would say
the writer was thinking of some Joan of
Arc Instead of the loving timid queen
driven against her will and inclination
into the presence ( f the king. I would
suggest a course of study in tbe book of
Esther this winter. I think he could
profit thereby.
Regarding Dr. King ho always did
dislike to be soft soaped and the com
ment on the Dr. was the softest thing
(barring the critics brain) of tbe entire
criticism.
One of the best characters (Miss Cole
man) was omitted altogether, but prob
ably the writer was so blinded by her
prophetic entrance and singing that he
was lost iu contemplation of his own
downfall.
The most asinine of all Is bis final
spasm when he says specialties ought to
have been Introduced between acts. I
imagined I could feel the bones of Haman
turning over In tbe grave while I was
reading that. I think every fair minded
person will agree with me when I say
when a play of that character is present
ed nothing should be introduced which
would spoil the effect from one scene to
another. If anything is used It Is some
music to be played that will bridge or
carry tbe audience from one act to an
other. Hoping this will kill any germs of
parodlc criticism I remain.
A Champion of Suppressed Merit.
Crowded With Advertising.
Every page of The Star is crowded

'Qulncy Adams Sawyer" Repeating its
Success.
The phenomenal success of the book-
play, "Quincy Adams Sawyer," is
repealing itsolf again this season when
crowded houses greats its every appear
ance. This popularity is attributed to
the preceding fame of the book that
extended from ocean to ocean, and that
the play is in Itself the most genuine
piece of rural life ever given to lovers of
bucolic drama.
The simple, pure charm of tbe book is
distinctly preserved in tbe play. Tbe
characters are drawn so close to life
that It requires an effort to be convinced
that they are not real. They are just
types as are found in every New England
village and portrayed by actors who are
In perfect sympathy with their roles.
In fact, it is a case of human nature
appealing to human nature.
Another thing that people evidently
appreciate Is not having their ploasure
of the artistic simpleness of tbe play
marred by mawkish scenes and sloshy
Incidents. The amusing scenes and
those are what the play Is made up of
mainly-contaln just wholesome, good
nature, compelling laugh after laugh,
and the sentimental parts consist of that
kind of refined pathos that plays upon
the heart strings with no discordant
note.
The company representing this beau
tiful play carries with it all the equip
ments including four large sets of
scenery, built especially for the produc
tion; all the lighting effects and all the
properties. Theatre goers are looking
forward to the treat la store for tbem
wbem the play comes here on Jan. 24,
1907, Thursday, at the Park Theatre.

Personality in Moving Pictures. '
There is just as much character in

merit that has made Lyman H. Howe's

ment institution in America to-day.
Acting on the conviction that the public
has buen surfeited and bored by senseless
and indifferently projected pictures
with no set purpose. Mr. Howe has
given bis Lifeorama a character all Its
own. Bolieving the public want an
entertainment of an elevating character
he has supplied it. In the new
Drogram, more, than ever, he gives bis
audience scenes which not one in a
thousand had ever seen before. ' It
teems with many novelties and real
sensations. It wi.l be presented in
Centennial Hall to morrow evening,
Thursday, Dec. 13. Prices 25 and 33
