One Of the most loyeable traits of
DR.. Wharton'S character is the inter-

Last winter when Homer Davenport
was at his old home in Silverton a locaI
company one evening produced drama
for public benefit, and az the curtain
went down the famous young cartoonis'
stepped behind the scenes and wanted
10 know who the young lady was who
took the leading part, expressing great
surprise at her dramatic ability, and he
was introduced to Miss Margaret Fischer
who is at present playing in this city
with the Fischer-Van Cleve Company.
He predicted great future for the little
miss, for she was lees than l5 years old.
Miss Fischer seems to have a natural
talent in the line Of acting, for her edu.
cation in that line has been limited to
good elocutionary training, aside from
her public school work, and the fact that
she has from childhood been an omniv.
orous reader.
Since the young lady is scoring such
a great success, a JOURNAL reporter
called upon her the other day for an
interview. He found her busy studying
her lines in new drama, oblivious to-
the fact that she was in the midst o
dear friends. The writer found her a
most modest, child like young lady,
with rare discretion, modest manners,
aud dignity worthy Of a much older
person. Her friends all say that her
sweet disposition has made her beloved
by all who come in contact with her,
and that her greatest pleasure consists
in doing for others.
Miss Fischer was born in Iowa, and
from the age Of 8 to . lived with her
parents in Salem. She first went to
school here, and afterward lived in Sill
verton, where her people conducted a
hotel for seven years, and the young
lady seemed destined to become one Of
the characters Of national reputation
from that town. The young lady de-
clares that she expects to make the stage
her profession, and when asked her
plans, she modestly said:
al hope some day to be able to go to
New York and study, and really want TO
act tragedy, but of course that will de.
pend upon whether l have the ability.
II am not fitted for the heavier work in
that line, expect 10 take up the lines
for which am best fitted, l expect by
hard work TO be able to make place for
myself II am worthy. II not | shall be
content with what the world has in store
for me-"

est member of the company, but is TAX
