A second ad states: “Heller blends in one individuality the several qualifications of conjurer, piano-forte soloist, mirthful entertainment, and entrepreneur for the anthropoglossi.  Heller’s piano forte solos are classic in their character and appeal to all who have musical taste.  Heller’s Wood minstrels constitute a complete minstrel concert, on automatic purposes.  They are the funniest of public performers.”

“Would you hear the sound of the spirit-stirring drum, minus the ear-piercing fife?  Go to Heller’s.  Would you enjoy the dulcet strains of the pianissimo fortissimo, classically speaking?  Go to Heller’s Salle Diaboliquelum.”
