Mrs. Zeisler had previously proved the
disposition of a Minneapolis audience.
| and was well aware she had many adj
| mirers among its music lovers. but on no
occasion has she received more cordial
welcome than was extended last night.
There is about her playing something
I very suggestive, SO much 50 that her
listener is entranced by the images which
/ the spell OF her fingers evoi1es. She Gre
ates an atmosphere III which poetry, the
arts. temperament and al are affected.
and TO listen is to appreciate. not only the
! beauty Of the composition, but the mind
of the composer, ana the nobility of the
performer, through her interpretative
faculties. If Mrs. Zeisler were not so
essentially and intensely musical. she
could not SO exquisitely express the
sentiments OF Beethoven, Schumann and
Chopin. Her performance excites at once
admiration for her art and wonder at her
technic. Her wrist is firm as iron. her
fingers plant as the willow stem and
her touch as soft as velvet The question
remains whether TO admire most her sen
sitiveness and beauty of conception, or
her fine execution. Her notes sound with
crystalline clearness. whether she plays
arpeggios or sweet cadenzas. and she
turns with facility from the breadth and
dignity of Beethoven to the delicacy and
refinement OF Chaminade.
A very large audience laughed them
selves hoarse at the trials and tribula-
lions of Geo. Smith Jr in the farce come
dy When Smith Came Home at The
Toler last night. Every situation in the
bowling farce was extremely funny,
and caught the audience from the first.
John D'Ormond and Miss Fuller put up
their usual excellent Characterization of
the parts assigned, while the comedy
character parts of Bones. the undertaken,
Cleopatra, the colored wife of Smith Jr.,
and Capt. Geo. Smith himself, were more
than ably presented by WILDER Atkinson,
Miss Davis and Mr. Haskell Gibbs, whose
portrayal of a cOmical old sea captain
was true to life. AOther members of the
caste handled the parts assigned to them
in a creditable manner. The speciality
work of Keifer and Diamond and Miss
Emma Doris was fine. The extra large

DREW MORRIS CHAIR AT TOLER.
Mrs. T. J. Cowan of 145 North Emporia
avenue drew the handsome Morris chair
which was given away at The Toler last
night. Mrs Cowan's number was PISS, and
she came near overlooking the fact that
she held the lucky number. as it was
called several times from the stage with /
out any response; and then another num-
Der called which was in the audience,
but by this time Mrs. Cowan had run
over the numbers and found that she held
PISS. which took precedent over the other (
number drawn, and she received the /
