MINNEAPOLIS has not had it's usual

of the Season.
Minneapolis has not had it's usual share
this year Of music recitals and particular
ly of visits from instrumentalists. Mrs.
Fannie Bloomfield zeisler will be the
first of prominence this season and should
find the public apprehension keenly whet-%
ted, as 1t Is quite certain she will She
can command an audience in Minneapo-

her European experiences have made her
large circle of warm admirers more than.
ever eager for their annual treat. t.:
Mrs. Zeisler has been back from Europe
but short time and after playing with
the Chicago orchestra began short
western tour. Later she will make
concert round with the Boston. Symphony

| pianist and if she were not so dread
fully neurotic, she would be one of the
greatest artists that ever lived"
