The event took place at Wallack's Theatre on the second of last September, when she essayed'Ihe leading role In Grace Living- stone Furnlas' farcical comedy, ".Mrs. Jack.' Miss Furnlss wrote the play with Miss Fischer—a friend of many years—In mind for tbe title role. Miss Fischer then brought the play to the attention of Henry B. Har- ris. He accepted It immediately, and made the actress an offer to atar In the role of Mra. Jack. Miss Flicher declined. Mr. Harris tried to persuade her that "sbewas strong enough to carry the full weight of a production upon her shoulders." Miss Fischer asserted that all sb,e desired was the opportunity of creating the title role, ns sho thought It peculiarly suited to ber person- ality and methods. But whether she would have It or no, tbe first nlghters at Wallack's mnde her a star by unanimous verdict, nnd the following day Mr. Harris plnesrdMl New York with hastily prepared "three sheets,' heralding the advent of a new stellar lumin- ary. MlBB Fischer's triumph at Wallack s was repeated at tbe Victoria, the octreim plac- ing to her credit a run of over one hundred nlghti In New York City. Her success as a leading exponent of fun seems somewhat singular when It Is recalled that today an adventure*!' role Is almost InvarlRbly de- scribed by managers and dramatic agents as r,n "Alice Fischer part." Miss Flsbfer won this reputation as the preeminent vltullzer of designing females by her bit as sllnno, In "Little Lord Fauntleroy." It was during her second season on the stage, and was. the first opportunity to be afforded her. She scored so signally that thereafter she had the "call" on all similar ebnractors. Her more recent appearances In that line of nrtlstlc endeavor were made In "Quo Vadls, "The Sporting Duchess" and "The White Heather." MI«« Fischer soon tired of such Impersonations, and whenever posilhle se- cured the chance to create comedy roles, for which Bhe hod a strong predellctlon, Mr. Harris bad the good fortune to witness several of her comic characterisations, and became convinced that therela-lay'great possibilities, Ills Judgment has .bpen veri- fied, for few stars have succeeded so well, llniinelBlly nnd si'tlstlcnlly, as has Miss Fischer. «»» IlKbAWAIin. v, w ii in lute to ii.
