“No. 585 Broadway continues to be filled each night with admirers of Mr. Heller’s various feats of digital dexterity. In respect to his piano-forte playing it would be difficult to speak too highly. . . .His necromantic exhibitions, which pretend to be [illeg.] artistic value, are nevertheless the most popularly diverting parts of his entertainment.”
