A dramatic treat Is in store for
Wheeling. On May I'd Mrs. Fiske, the
most famous of American actresses,
will appear at the Opera House in
Love Finds the Way" one of her
strongest plays. In this Mrs Fiske
appears as Madeline Winfield, young
wonean bred in luxury, misanthropic
and Cynical because of a slight lame
ness. The sympathy of those about
her irritates instead of consoles her
Madeline, for all her bitterness of
spirit, is a woman of noble disposition,
and the development of her character
in a series of dramatic crises affords a
remarkable dramatic study. Mrs.
Fiske's performance Of this part is
pronounced as extraordinary in all its
details as her "Tess." Good acting of
the higher kind is so rare on the stage
nowadays that the appearance here Of
Mrs. Fiske is cause for congratulation.
Her engagement is limited to one night,
and it is safe to anticipate that it will
attract the patronage of all who have
any appreciation for the best forms Of
the modern drama.
