LEAVES HOME TO
BECOME ACTRESS
DAWN FISHER, IS YEARS OLD,
DISAPPEARS
Slender, 6rown-Eyed Little Maid
Adrift in the World With Faith
ful Shepherd Dog as
Sole Protector

A slender. brown-eyed little maid is
adrift somewhere in the world with
only faithful shepherd dog for her
companion.
On May 3. Dawn Fisher left her home,
625 San Julian street, on her way to
school.
From the moment she left the house
every trace has been lost of the girl,
who. had never been away from home
before.
She attended the Brownsberger school
on West Seventh street and usually
came home at an early hour in the
afternoon.
When evening came Mr.. and Mrs.
Fisher began to worry and wonder why
Dawn did not return.
The father communicated with the
school, but nothing was known there
of the girls disappearance.
Parents Grieve for Daughter
1t was sleepless night for both
grieving parents and Tray, the big
shepherd dog, howled all night.
Early i'm the morning he was given
his liberty, and pausing to catch the
scent, the dog bounded away, never
to return.
1t is thought that his unerring instinct
led him to the side Of the one being
he loved above all others.
Until Dawn is ready to return Tray
will not desert her.
The parents do not believe that the
shadow of tragedy hangs over the
disappearance.
Both think that the 15-year-old girl
has simply taken advantage of her
often-expressed wish to go on the stage.
She is said to be an attra active maid
with big, brown eyes and dark hair.
n.ne.s and cinde MALL
She can dance like a sprite and sings
prettily.
Her mother says ever since child
hood Dawn has longed for stage
career and, possessing the talent that
she does, it is believed when she left
Los Lngeles she did SO with the pur-
pose of joining a theatrical company.
Acting on that theory the father,
A. B. Fisher, has been to Oakland,
San Jose, San Francisco, Seattle, Ia
coma and other cities along the coast
searching for news of his lost child.
The parents believe that the dog
found his mistress before she left the
city and is sticking clots to her. If
he had failed to find her it Is believed
that he would have returned home.
Had Mania for Stage
When she left home at $3.50 o'clock
silk dress, a dark cravenette and a
patent leather hat.
She had $15 or $40 in her purse and
on the day before had made some in
quiries about trains to the north.
She always had a mania for the
stage, her mother says, and has gone
to the theater at every opportunity.
She generally went with married
women and disdained the company of
young men. Therefore there does not
seem to be any hint that it is run
away match.
Her one passion was music and the
stage.
she went to the First Methodist Sun
day school and was regarded as q
bright, rather immature little miss,
sweet and pure in disposition and with
little knowledge of the world.
Chief of Police Auble has been asked
to help find Miss Fisher, and he has
sent out descriptions and pictures
broadcast.
A number of theatrical companies
have been communicated with, but so
far not a trace of the little would-be
actress has been discovered.
The little slender maid. with her dog,
ought to be easily identified, say the
police; and the Fishers are awaiting
eagerly any news of their adventurous
daughter.
