Blindness of Virtue."
BEFORE the general theatergoer has an opportunity to see
"The Blindness of Virtue "twhich comes to the Cort theater
next Monday evening, it will be passed upon by an audience com
posed entirely of clergymen of all denominations.
A special matinee has been arranged to be given Monday aft
ernoon at which none but preachers will be admitted.
"The Blindness of Virtue" tells the
story of a young girl brought up In
a small country town ln England, un
der the close protection of her parents
and an old family servant. She has
never had any playmates and knows
nothing of the world beyond the
threshold of her own door and finally
succumbs to the awakening symptoms
of love. She falls ln love with a boy
who has been sent to study with her
father, a vicar in the town. She fol
lows her natural impulses and can
see no harm ln giving her affection to
trie young man. Ho loves her, too. but
as he knows as much as boys do at
his own age of life the danger lies in
allowing these young people to be
constantly together. A tragedy is
norrowly averted. The father at once

Zeisler
Recital Is
Triumph
for Artist
A not large but carefully discrimi
nating audience welcomed* Fannie
Bloom Held Zeisler back to San Fran
cisco at Scottish Rite auditorium last
night. The famous artist presented
an interesting program of wide vari
ety, ranging .from the quaint "Hu
moresque" of Dvorak to the. showy
No. 12 Rhapsodic of Liszt.
Zeisler gave ample evidence that
she possesses a singing quality of
tone equaled by but few pianists in
the world today. Combined as this
gift is with rare intelligence in the
matter of dynamics and a true poeti
cal Insight, it is difficult to under
stand why the hall was not com
pletely filled with music lovers.
The mainstay of last night's pro
gram was the Chopin Sonata, opus 85,
of which the "funeral march" seemed
to make the biggest impression on the
audience.
Zeisler.'s peculiar limpidity of tone
was.well demonstrated ln the "Papll
lons" suite, opus 2, of Schumann, and
her splendid rythmical sense was so
strongly forced over the footlights in
the transcribed Paganlnl "Caprice"
that the artist was forced to re
peat it.
Generous in the matter of encores.
Zeisler gave Schubert's "Erl King,"
played with splendid vigor, and the
delicious "Dance of the Dolls" of Pol
dini. Last night's complete program
follows:
Paplllons, op. 2 Schumann
Caprice, E major I'aganlni
Transcribed for piano by Schumann.
Vogel als Prophet (No. 7 from Waldscenen.
op. 82) ....Schumann
Toecsta, op. 7 Schumann
Sonata, op. 35 Chopin
Andante iinale from "Lucia dl Lammer
moor" l>onizetti
Arranged for left hand alone by Leschetliky,
op. 13.
Huraoresqne, op. 101. No. 7 Dvorak
A la blen slmee (No. 2 from Paplllons
d'Amour; Souvenirs; Vlennols, op. s»).Schuett
Libestraum (Nocturne), No. 3. A flat
major Llsst
Rhapsodic, No 12 Liszt
The last Zeisler concert will be next
Saturday afternoon.
