“Heller, who has made his ‘Salle Diabolique’ quite a place of resort for those fond of the marvelous and strange, will also terminate his performances on the 4th of July, when he will give two entertainments.  Heller commenced under somewhat discouraging auspices, but soon came into favor by dint of hard work and giving attractive exhibitions of the magic art.”
