Mrs. Kleppisch's Lecture-The lantern
slides used by Lena Louise Kleppisch to
illustrate her art lectures are the best
ever seen in this city. Most of them have
been made to her order from the paintings
themselves. The stereopticon used to ex-
hibit them is the twin instrument to Stod-
dard's. Her lecture of Celebrated Paint
ings of the Nineteenth Century next FRI
day evening at Metzerott Music Hall will
contain famous pictures selected from
various schools and cover every department
of art.
On the Midway.-The Midway Plaisance
reproduction at the Convention Hall is
still drawing crowds. Owing to the mis-
understanding of how the Midway was run
at chicago, the custom OF charging 70 cents
at the door and 10 and Is cents to each
village will be dropped. and beginning this
afternoon the admission at the door will
be, afternoons, % cents; evenings, 80 cents.
This charge will! admit a person to all the
attractions. including the Turkish and
Chinese theaters. Indian, Irish and Ger
man villages streets of Cairo and Hagen
beck's circus. Performances will be given
in every village every twenty minutes,
making continuous shows throughout the
evening. New attractions have been added
In the Turkish theater and the circus. All
kinds of refreshments will be served in
Old Vienna and the German village This
novel affair, and is well worth the time
spent on it. All the performances are
genuine and very interesting. 1t runs all
week, every afternoon and evening.
The Marteau Concert-Henry Marteau,
the little fellow. who performed upon the
violin at Metzerotts Hall last night al
though very young, does not come under
the infant prodigy class for the reason that
there is the element Of substantial merit
in his playing that places 1t beyond the
superficialities of the average "boywonder''
in any field of art. He makes a charming
figure on the stage, and the attractiveness
of the picture lends much enjoyment to the
delicate grace of touch and the sweetness
Of sentimental expression with which he
sways that most tenderly obedient or harsh
ly rebellious of all instruments, the violin.
He interprets music Of the highest sort
with the fine shadings, together with the
firm certainty, which can be combined only
where the technique is so well conquered
that the feelings may assume unrestricted
sway. His first performance was Beet
hoven's Sonata, opus "a. which he played
sohn concerto was admirable, and called
for an encore. The program throughout
was a delightful one. Nine. Rosa Linde
was the least satisfactory. for, although
she has a rich contralto voice, there Is
lacking in 1t that sympathetic quality that
touches the feelings Of an audience Lau-
chaume was conspicuously good. particu-
larly as accompsnist, and as a solo per-
mirable command of the keyboard
