acters in the play are in the hands of

MINNIE MADDERN FISKE.-Most Of
the matter that has been written about
Mrs. Fiske's career deals with her achieve
ments since her return to the stage ten
years ago. after a retirement of several
years following her marriage to Harrison
Grey Fiske. Full Of interest as this story
is, the early chapters in this actress stage
life should not be overlooked. for 1t was
then that the foundation was laid for the
greater successes she has had In recent
years. Those were the days when Mrs
Fiske was known as Minnie Maddern, and
found herself at the age Of fourteen the
youngest star on the American stage. The
vehicle for her appearance was a play
called "Fogg's Ferry" in which Miss Mad
dern played a romping hoyden. She had
then had eleven years experience before
the footlights, for she began to act at
the age of three in the part Of the Duke
of York in Richard Ill" Mrs. Fiske was
born to the stage, for her mother, Eliza
beth Madden, was a prominent actress.
