ADJUSTMENTS.

AAA4 ~ 0AzAAAN 40s
At the Metropolitan Theater tonight
Madame Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler Will
appear. This distinguished artist, the
most famous of all American pianists,
the fair rival of Paderewski, has been
induced to appear here by the counten-
ance of the Saturday Club. Though
the cost of her engagement Is very heavy,
the management has kept the prices at
a low figure, lower than was antici-
pated, so that it is within the reach of
any lover Of music to enjoy the treat
promised for this evening. In these
columns there has appeared from day
to day many encomiums pronounced
upon the art of Zeisler by the most
competent critics Of the world, to-
gether with history of her career and
accounts of her wonderful success in
Europe and her own country, Amer
lea, for here we have a peer of Pader-
eWSki, who is one of us. 1t should be
kept in mind that this lady has reached
the highest position ever attained by
any woman in her art. This was recog
nlzed IN San Francisco the other night,
where women auditors were so lifted
by her playing that they sprang upon
their seats and shouted bravo" and
waved their handkerchiefs and beat
their palms in an ecstacy Of enthusiasm,
a scene never before witnessed in that
city. She was recalled over and over
again. The List "Rhapsodie No. 13"
was the closing number on the pro-
gramme, but at its completion every
one in the house seemed to be tied in
their seats, nor would they leave until
Zeisler appeared once more and played
most exquisitely "Warum?" a gem Of
Schumann's. Even when they did rise to
leave, almost as many as went out at
the doors turned their steps to the
greenroom, and for nearly an hour
Mrs. Zeisler held levee surrounded by
enthusiastic admirers. It is we'll within
the mark to say that no pianist of
either sex has ever visited this
coast who wields such power
and influence over an audi
| ence. The artist arrived in this city
last evening. She is a modest little
woman of pleasing personality, amable
| and exceedingly kindly disposed to
| obhge. She is to be the recipient this
| afternoon of social attentions by women

best living interpreter of the works Of
that difficult master.
The Street Railway Company will
give double service Tomorrow and Fri
day nights upon the Third and P street
| lines, with transfers from all other
! routes to and from the Art Gallery to
accommodate the people who attend the
artistic poster exhibit and musical en-
tertainment on those nights, in aid of
the School of Design. The ladies WIFI
have about a hundred art posters on

very few, are familiar to the public
eye, as the purpose has been to gather
few strong representative art exam
pies in poster work, rather than a mass
Of the common order. In addition there
will be living poster exhibits under di-
rectfon of Professor Jackson and a COM
mittee of ladies. There will be refresh
ments served, an orchestra will play and
a choice programme of music will be
given under direction Of the Saturday
Club. On Friday night there will be
dancing. Several original art posters
will be shown as the handiwork and
School Of Design who are developing
high skill in this useful art. All these
many features will make up entertain
ments worth far more than the charge,
which money will go to aid the school
and help carry through the stress of
hard times. On each evening for one
hour the upper galleries will be thrown
open and lighted by the new incandes-
cent lamps, which reveal the paintings
| in new beauty and strength. The
| heavy cost of lighting the gallery has
not deferred the ladies from adding this
| feature to the programme.

| so that whoever hears her in proof of
| her powers OF memory, goes away
almost doubling his senses. It seems
| incredible that such little tot can re-
tain in memory such a mass of statis-
tfcal, historical and biblical information.
/ Gertie is down for filing the house this
week alone but after her twenty-five
minutes Of entertainment comes as neat
and pretty a refined comedy perform
ance by the stock company as anyone
/ may wish 10 see. THE Crushed
+ Tragedian" Is excellently played 1t is
a piece Of fine sentiment and rich COM
! edy; Of clean lines and manly and
womanly characters. 1t not only
amuses, 1t entertains.
