The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-11-29

The only attraction this week is Minnie
Maddern-Fiske, Wednesday night in The
Right to Happiness. Miss Fiske is not a
stranger to Savannah theater-goers. She
was here last year, supported by Mr..
James Neill Her early appearance here
was as Minnie Madden in Camille. Her
stage infancy has a special interest, and
Is thus described by a recent writer: Min
ME Maddern-Fiske was born in New Or
leans. Her first recollections are of the
theater, where night after night, when
but years old, she slept i'm her mothers
dressing room, being slowed out of the
way In a huge dress trunk, the corner Of
which was raised between the light and
the sleeping child The nervous little
girl would not remain with her nurse at
the hotel Naturally the inheritor OF dra-
matte gifts did not stay long in this re-
tirement. She sought her place a natu-
rally as water seeks It's level. From polk
Ing about and mussing up the dressing
room, from going on voyages of discovery
on the dressing table and disorganzing
the makeup box-au in her baby attempts
at order-she was graduated to the stage
as being easier to care for there. From
her improvised crib she had watched her
mamma making quick changes; she had
eyed curiousy the spangled skirts, the
blonde wig, the blackened eyebrows She
had inhaled the fatal odOr of the theater.
To return her to domestic life was impossl-
BILE. So the realm behind the footlights
became her world, its painted canvas her
nature, it's props" her playthings-they
were the real things of life to her."

Innovations. The early visit here of this
