Mrs. Fiske seems to be practieing a
system of self-effacement, which has
hitherto not been the rule with American
stars, during her present engagement at
the Lyeeum Theatre. She began her sea¬
son two weeks ago with a performance of
4
The Pillars of Society,“ in which her
part is by no means the prinelp; one,
and last night in the new dout bill
which she presented she did not appear
at all in the first play.
This first play came au an agreeable
surprise to those in the audience who had
fancled that they were to see an ordi¬
nary curtaln raiser. Schnitzler is a Vien¬
nese dramatist not unknown in New Tork.
