Continental Stage Gave
American Girl a Belief
I'm Power of Suggestion

Josephine Victor, whose appearance
as Zabette in "Martinique" at the
Eltings Theater, is her first Broadway
appearance since she appeared in Eu-
gene Walters "Just Woman" several
seasons ago, counts the power of sug-
gestion as the greatest aid to acting.
The part Of Zabette came to her, she
said, by absorption. Written for her
bya Lawrence Eyre, the author of the
play, it was read several times, and
when rehearsals came her lines had
been learned almost unconsciously.
In martinique" there are several
scenes, notably in the second act, where
the usual stage tricks can not be made
use of because of the lighting To get
over to the audience the emotion of
zabette, Miss Victor has only her
voice, and what she herself calls "the
pictorial values of the stage"
"Zabette is very difficult part" said
Miss Victor, Gin that she is the ingenu-
GUS young thing in the first act, with
her heart just touched by romance, and
in the second ,and third acts she comes
to be, bit by bit, the woman of passion
that she is at the final curtain. But
all that must be shown gradually. In
impersonating Zabette the things that
are not done are as important as those
that are. Because l believe that
make every use that | can of sugges-
tion. In the first act, where Stephane
makes cup Of his hands for me. q
little overacting would destroy the
delicacy Of the whole scene There
one must rely on suggestion and sense
of the pictorial values. Again, in the
second act, when the stage is darkened,
there is scene of emotional power,
when Stephane comes, the very night
OF his wedding, to assure Zabette that
he still loves her.
"If ! believe in the power of sugges
/ tion, owe that belief to the Continen-
tai stage. Nearly all that have learned
OF acting | learned watching Continent
tai productions. Here in America there
is too often reward for the actor or
actress who acts type Mrs. Fiskc is
one OF the few actresses on the stage
who utilize the whole power of thought
and suggestion. Her Tess may not have
been the exact Tess that Hardy con-
ceived, but it was a creation, it was a
Tess that was convincing to the audi
encc. In Just a Woman I played the
part of woman of fifty just because
OF my belief in acting for acting's sake.
1T was commercial mistake. They be-
gan to say: oh, she's doing mothers
and old women now l put aside my
own personality to create the part.
From business standpoint it was an
error, yet if l were in Europe / should
do it again. But l am in America, and
acting for American audiences, and !
shall never do it again.
"My ambitions ?" she repeated, in
response to a question. Not to be just
Josephine Victor in such and such a
thing, but to be a living character pro-
jected to the audience by Josephine
| Victor. Some day l should like to
do repertory, keeping as my ideal the
projection Of character by suggestion
and thought"

She Works i'm Vaudeville.
Studying to Fit Herself
For Something Greater

Grace Fisher is In a predicament.
never used it. Now, with clothes prices
mounting SO high, she has decided to
make use of the Idle garment. So she
must learn to ride.
"First, shall learn to ride, and then
I shall take up languages" said the
young soprano who last year was the
prima donna in "The Royal Vagabond,"
and who Is now the prima donna in
Harry Carroll's new vaudeville act at
the Palace Theater. "But I shall do
it indoors until the disgrace wears off,
Miss Fisher was adjusting an enor-
nous white wig which contained so
much hair that it reminded her of an
Ostermoor, she said. She was dressing
in the period of Louis XIV.
Louis Quatorze," was suggested.
She attempted to repeat the French
word for fourteen, but with no great
success.
you see I shall need to study Ian
guages."
"Then you don't speak French in this
part of the act?" Miss Fisher was asked
"No, only look it," she answered
laughingly.
From convent in her home city OF
Buffalo, with an interval of a year at
| home, was the road Grace Fisher tray
cled on her way to the stage. In her
| five years on the stage she has been In
vaudeville with Rock and Fulton, has
played an act of her own in vaudeville
| and has also been in the "Show OF
Wonders" at the Winter Garden, The
Love MILL" "The Royal Vagabond," and
now has returned to vaudeville with
Harry CAROLS company.
Miss Fishers voice is dramatic
soprano, but she does some coloratura
singing in vaudeville now.
"My teachers are against my singing
colorat tura. But | am doing it properly
and it won't hurt my voice. Dramatic
| sopranos are in more demand than
coloratura singers and I do not want
to become known as coloratura
singer. No, am not yet planning for
sang two prima donna roles before
started to take singing lessons. One
of my teachers wants me to give up
singing on the stage now and prepare
| myself for singing in opera. But
! cannot be idle. I must be doing some
thing"
1t Is fortunate thing that the enor-
nous white wigs in vogue at the TIME
Of Louis XIV are not in favor now.
For then Miss Fishers beautiful auburn
tresses would be hidden under mass
of artificial hair, After adjusting two
beauty spots and while beading her
eyelashes, she reminisced:
{ "When we had plays at the convent
the nuns used to send the other girls
to me for instruction. l used to show
chem how to speak their lines; taught
them dancing steps; even tried to
teach them to sing. When, I had
finished at the convent I made many
attempts to go on the stage. but could
rot win over my family. Many times
was engaged to go on tour with COM
panies which played in Buffalo, but in
