While on tour with Mrs. Fannie Bloom-
field-Zeisler and the Steinway piano, Paul
Fischer, the stalwart and handsome tuner
who always accompanies Mrs. Zeisler when
he is not out with Josef Hoffman, had the
misfortune to sprain his ankle. This occurred
at Springfield, Mo., but he was well and in

handling pianos on the road that he fully
deserves the calling of musical director, es-
pecially in point of the fact that he can whis-
tle the entire repertoire of Mrs. Zeisler and
of several others as well..

old friend, de Pachmann, although there has
been no announcement to this effect, but we
are all waiting for a good many announce-

on European soil. To play the Steinway
piano next season we have already heard the
names of Adele Aus der Ohe and Busoni.
Also one or two others that we promised not
to tell.

style is creating much interest among
lovers of the Pianola, and the invention is re-
