Philadelphia. Feb 8, 1904. Miss SAL
lie Fisher Of Salt Lake City made her
first appearance as leading lady of the
Frank Daniels company al the Chest
nut street theater Monday evening,
Feb /. 1t was the second week OF
Frank Daniels engagement in Philadel-
pha, the first week having been filed
BY Miss Louise Cunning. Miss Fisher
took her part with only two rehearsals
with Mr Daniels, he having been laid
up with sore throat, but that she
thoroughly pleased her audience is
shown by the fact that she had a strong
encore for each OF her solos. The
flower song which she renders In the
second act, accompanied by a ladies'
chorus, Is the vocal gem of the opera,
In II Miss Fishers beautiful soprano
voice is given full opportunity to shine,
and since the first night she has often
scored double encOres for this number.
The acting of the part Is not difficult,
as Mr. Daniels leading lady merely has
TO look pretty, sing well, and occupy
with him the center OF the stage, while
he executes his inimtable monkey
shines around her one trio In which
Mr. Daniels, Miss Fisher aud the BARI
tone, take part is especially rich IN this
sort of thing, and Daniels seems to eX-
EFT himself to see how many times he
can make Miss Fisher lose her gravity,
lie evidently keeps her bubbling over
with mlrth half the time, which Is
precisely what he sets out to do.
Daniels "Ghc Office Boy goes west

doubledly pleased the star and his
managers, and will no doubt be Te.en.
