MISS CIssY FITZGERALD.
Miss Cissy Fitzgerald appears in The
Founding" at the Lansing theatre
Wednesday. March 10th. With match
less sweep Of the limb she danced and
glided herself into the very heart Of the
New York public, recalling the days of
Taglioni. This remarkable English
girl was born in Kent, and came from
an old English family in no manner con-
naotaI NTH fhoafriaalo
From her earliest days Miss Fitzger-
aid was fond Of music, and in her fourth
year was known throughout the locality
in which she was bern, for her pretty
childish dancing of the sailors horn
pipe and other fancy dances. To de-
tach her thoughts from the stage she
was despatched to convent, where she
remained until her thirteenth year.
Miss Fitzgerald on leaving the convent,
found nothing in society as an outlet for
her exuberant spirits. and insisted on
the stage. About four years ago she
made her first appearance in the bur
lesque ruby Bias" making an instan-
taueous hit.
She has never been without An en-
gagement from that day, and the princi-
pal managers Of London and the Cont
nent have always held strong induce
ments to secure Miss Fitzgerald for the
principal burlesque. Lately she has
been principally in August Van Biene's
companies, in all cases taking the prin-
cipal parts.
Miss Fitzgerald made tour OF the
world with The Gaiety Girl" company.
