"When Dan Cupid Is Around,'' as sung by Miss A hi me Retd, with a
chorus of fifteen costumed raemb rs of the caste, wa the one big hit of
an evening of musical hits on th; occa-lou of the production of "Flaying
the PonleB" In the Adeluhl Theater. MUs Rued' rendition was not
only superb but It was a personal triumph for Arthur H Hasklns,
of Reynoldnville, the composer of the wing. Mr. Buskins has published
5 fourteen songs and marohes up to the present time, and it U open tor
question whether any of his productions surpass In beauty or catchiness
S his latest Bong. Few Reynoldsville people are acquainted with the suo
X cess that has attended Mr. Hasklns' productions in recent yeare. He
has nompossd sixty four diff ident musloal selections, fourteen of whioh
nave been published and have had a wide sale. Most of the songs have
jjj been sung In New.York City theaters, and one march, "The Sentry,"
$ has been played by both Souaa's and Arthur W. Pryor's bands. "The
i Sentry March," as played by Pryor's band, has been reproduced on the
Victor talking machine records and is In good demand. The titles of the
fourteen published songs and marches are as follows: "Down by the Dear
Old Suwanee River's Shore," "Say You Love Me, Sue," "Tell Me That
You Live Me as of Yore," "Down In ths Meadows Where the Blue Bells
Grow, ' "Don't Leave Old Kentucky," "Good Bye, Soldier Boy," "'Mid
the Cotton Fields of Georgia," "Forever," "The Sentry Maroh," "The
S Speedway March," "Just for Fun"

CONVENTION
SCHOOLS WERE
RE-ORGANIZED
LAST NIGHT
Re-Distribution Rendered Neces
sary by the Large Enroll
'tnent this Year.
SDCCESSFOL OPENING OF THE TERN
At a meeting of the school board
last night, the public schools were re
organized and a re-dlstrlbutlon of the
pupils made. The crowded condition
of the grade rooms rendered Imperative
such action and parents and pupils will
note that while the re-distrlbutlon of
pupils may make It necessary to go to a
lower room to recite than- their
report cards call for, It does not mean
that the student has lost rank. The
grades In all ca9es will remain the same.
An extra teather will also be required
under the now arrangement, Mies
Pratt having been taken from ber room'
and placed in the high school to assist
the teachers of that department. For
the present Miss Lois Robinson will
teach Room 8. The grading is now as
follows: First gmdo, rooms 1 and 2,
Misses Dempsey and Cochran; Second
grade, room 4, Miss Robertson: Third
and Fourth grades In rooms 5, 6 and 7,
Misses Lewis, Butler and Yost; Fifth
and Sixth grades, rooms 8, 9 and 10,
Misses Robinson, Sohultz and Dalley;
Seventh and Eight grades in rooms 11,
12 and 121, Misses Meek, Morgert and
Black. Rooms 0, 9 and 12 will neces
sarily baye two grades under this
arrangement.
Thepubllo sohools of Reynoldsyllle
borough opened Monday with an
enrollment of 402 In the grades and 104
In the high school, distributed as
follows: Room 1, Miss Dempsey, teacher,
50; No. 2, MIbb Cochran, 29; No. 3, Miss

freshmen; teachers In the high school,
W. M. Rife, superintendent, R. W.
Clawges, A. E. Earle, Miss Effle
Milllern; I. M. Smith, supervisor of
music.
The opening of the sohools was the
most orderly and satisfactory that has
been witnessed in Reynoldsville for
many years, due to the exoellent system
of management and the strlot discipline
maintained by Superintendent W. M.
Rife. The present principal assumed
oharge of the schools at time when
they were in a state bordering on
anarohy so far as disolpllne was con
cerned, and in spite of opposition from
many sources has succeeded in restor
ing not only the old discipline, but the
old standard of scholarship la the high
school. He has been sustained in his
course at all times by the board and the
results are now becoming apparent In
the excellent showing of the schools.
Prof. Rife deserves, and will have, the
firm support of the local people in bis
efforts to place the local schools on a
higher plane than they have ever been
since the present oourse was adopted.

AN OVATION FOR GEORGE I GEISLER
Patrons or tbe Adelphi Theater were
treated to a genuine surprise Thursday
evening of last week when "Playing
the Ponies" was produced by home
talent for tbe benefit of tbe Business
Men's Association. -They went with tbe
expectation of seeing the usual degree
of merit in a home talent performance.
Thoy left wondering If they had not
witnessed a performance by profession
als. Without flattery In any degree it
may be stated tnal the performance
was the fltiest home talent production
ever given in Reynoldsville and sur
passed In merit the work .of many pro
fessional troupes which have visited
the town.
The acting and singing alike crew
forth the heartiest applause of the
large audience. The stars of the caste,
Will P, Nolan and Leon Wesooat, as
"Plonsky" and "Pincus," were greeted
first with Interest, then with applause
and at the close tho audience was
simply wild with merriment at their
evory appearance. Their acting was
realistic and genuinely humorous.
They were supported in almost fault
less style by the caste of minor '
characters. It Is hard to mention any
individual in the production without
doing injustice to others, for all deserve
praise alike. If the audienoe showed
any ip clal favor, it was to the acting '
and danolng of Miss Joan Geisler and
the singing of Misses Aldlne Reed and
Halley Burns. Miss Reed, with '
ohorus, rendered "When Dan Cupid
is Around." a song written and com
posed by Arthur H. Hasklns, of Reyn
oldsville. For the excellent showing of this
home talent troupe, unstinted oredlt
is due to George L. Geisler, of this
place. It was Mr. Geisler who selected
the play from many others, drilled the
actors to their parts with unwearied
patience night after night In rehearsals,
directed the stage settings, arranged
all the details of the production, and
finally played a leading role himself
In superb style. His popularity with
the local people was manifested upon hi
first appearance on the stage Thursday
night, when be was greeted by a loud
round of applause. He deserved It alt
and more. At a meeting of the Busi
ness Men's Association last night a vote
of thanks was given Manager Geisler
and his caste.
The Business Men's Association will
clear a nloe sum as a result of this play.
and the money will be used to defray
the expenses of Its work for the benefit
of the town.
CHIC-CORN CLUB'S ANNUAL SUPPPER
the members of the Cbio-Corn Club
of Reynoldsville enjoyed their annual
outing Monday night, going, with their
wives and friends, to the old gas well
at the salt works and feasting on roast
sheep and old fashioned baked beans.
These occasions come but once a year
and needless to say the mem
bers make the most of them In the
way of feasting and fun.
Wintlow Township Taxpayers,
In justice o Amos Strouse, tax
collector of Winslow township, TffE
Star owes an explanation to the tax
payers of Winslow township. Just bo
fore the late editor went to the hospital,
Mr. Strouse states that he handed hlrnu
a notice to the effect that 5 per cent;
could be saved by paying school taxea-r
before Ootober 5th, giving 90 days fronut
the Issue of the duplloate instead of 6fr?
as In the past years. In some way the
notice was lost and while Mr. Strouse
later posted notices to the same effect, ,.
many of the taxpayers failed tq see
them. Therefore taxpayers will note
that Mr. Strouse is giving the full 90
days to save the 5 per cent, and that
three weeks yet remain in which to
make payments under the new law.
