powers as an actress; to Chicago. in

unprecedented. When Mrs. Fiske return
ed to the stage last September her re-
markable artistic development was dem

newly known to theatre-goers. In the
in every play of which she has illus
trated new dramatic abilities, and wher-
ever she has appeared she has been ap-
preciatively acknowledged by the criti-
tai. She is the only actress In English
