“[L]et us conjure you, by all you hold dear, to repair with the fair to Heller’s beautiful temple of magic, and there see and hear one of the most famous magicians and musicians of the nineteenth century.”
Matinee. The program will be changing in order to make way for the Christmas holidays.
“Robert Heller, Professor of the Black Art, nightly performs his deviltries. He, too, is to be found on Saturday afternoons, and it has seemed to us that his sternest critics are then present—the youngsters being much more difficult to satisfy than their seniors. . . .

[W]e may add that Mr. Heller’s establishment is neatly and brightly fitted up, and that it is patronized by the best people in the city.”
