m New York, she was comparatively
unknown to fame, but in less than two
weeks she had completely eclipsed the
other gifted members of the company,
and even the piece itself and had sue
ceeded in making one of the most in
Simultaneous and remarkable hits"
ever known in New York. With
roguish glance of the eye and a rosy,
ripping smile unlike any glance or
smile that had ever been seen before,
she danced her way to fame and for
tune. It would be hard to say just
what quality has been chiefly response
BILE for her success, but one of her
greatest charms is her thorough orig
inality, and that is rare article upon
the stage of today. Howe'er it be,
there is, according to all reports, GER
tainly a great fascination about the
beauteous Cissy, and her dances, her
alluring wink and her generally pleas
Ing personality.

Cissy Fitzgerald inspired the follow
Ing rhapsody on the part of a New
York newspaper man:
When Cissy Winks.
There seems twinkle in the air.
The bald front-seater wildly blinks
The footlights flash with envious glare
When Cissy winks.
The maiden in the front parquet
Soft asks her escort what he thinks
And makes him look the other way
When Cissy winks.
The dressy dandes, neat and trim,
Gaze smiling on the sprightly MINK
And each thinks it is for him.
When Cissy winks.
The sleek and portly millionaire
Locks on with eyes like hungry lynx,
And swift forgets his every care
When Cissy winks.
The country hay-seed, gawky, green.
Cries in establishment, by Jinks''
And wonders what the gal can mean
When Cissy winks.
The sober deacon, prim and meek.
Down in his seat in wonder sinks
And feels sort o worldly streak,
When Cissy winks.
The managers care not a-dash
AT whom the frisky crtter blinks;
They sit and smile and count the cash
When Cissy winks.
