Dr. Dessler Will Give a Play For Charity.

Dr. Jacques Dessler, the optical specialist who lately located iu Rensselaer, is evidently a man of versatile talents, for besides being an optician he is also a dramatical writer, a singer and an actor. A play oMiis writing, in the German language, has recently been produced at the German Theater, at New York, and is said to have been a great success He has recently completed another play a melo-drama, entitled “The Fathers’ Heart.” He has rewritten this in English, and now offers to produce this play in Rensselaer and devote the entire proceeds to purposes of local charity. He will train the performers for the various characters and himself take the leading part. It is suggested that some of our leading charitably societies or orders will do well to accept this offer of Dr. Dossiers and thus derive great benefit to the charitable purposes they have in view.
