1.-THE American stage can BOAST OF
at least one actress whose whole
- life is a reflection OF splendid en-
ergy and accomplishment. she is Mrs
Fiske, who will be seen with her Man

Salt Lake theatre at the end OF this
week. A glance at the roles Mrs. tlske
has played in the period mentioned
shows their amazing diversity. Iney

mental. Her most powerful effects are
gained by the suggestion of intense
