Mrs Minnie Madden Fiskes Savannah
engagement viii be an interesting event
in two ways, aside from the fact that Mrs.
Fiske is an artist of genius she is a south
ern woman and is supported by Mr. James
Nell, a young Savannah actor who has
made reputation. Mr.. NeH's friends will
give him a warm welcome. Mrs. Fiskes
father, Thomas Dairy, was a prominent
southern manager. Her mother Lizzie
Madden, was one of the famous musical
family of that name Her play by Alphonse
Daudet, has been declared to be the strong
est and most interesting drama of us
class made known this season 1t tells an
engrossing story OF a woman who en-
meshes herself in faisehoods In a vain at
tempt 10 lead an honest life after a dues-
tionable past. The characters are drawn
with the truth that has made Daudet, the
author of the play famous. While 1.-THE
Queen of Liars" is a strong drama, II gains
greatly from the illustration given to its
leading character by Mrs. Fiske, and il
is doubtful IL any other actress could so
vitality typify this part. "A Dolls House"
in which Mrs. Fiske has been accepted as
the ideal Nora, will be given the second
night OF her engagement.
Mr. Neill's friends VIII be glad TO see him
again.
Lillian Russell will be seen in the Grand
Duchesse and La Perchole next week
