HOW MISS FISHER GOT HER NAME Famous Actress and Adver tisement of Bookkeeping Machine Gave the Idea "• ' % ' ' ' ■ ■ ~ .V." I*'--, 1 *'--, R ~ .. ".i: , i MISS GRACE FISHER "What's in a name?" It all de pends on what vocation one is fol- j lowing and what he or she is doing. Names of theatrical stars are not frequently changed. Some keep the name given them at their birth. The modus operanci of selecting a stage r.ame is never the same in two in stances. and when such a name is given publicity, it is beyond the power of the person to whom it is given to change it. An instance of this kind which \ is particularly interesting to Harris burgers is found in the case of | Grace Fisher, who is playing the I part of Princess Helena in "The j Royal Vagabond," a successful i comic opera now on a long run rec ord in New York. Miss Fisher got her name from an j Elliott-Fisher advertisement. At I confirmation she became Evelyn I Dolores Howell. When she went on I the stage, 6he flipped a coin to de cide between Evelyn Dolores and Troubled Five Years With Nervous Indigestion "I was troubled with nervous in digestion for five or six years. I tried almost everything and made two or three trips to the city of Nashville and had specialists treat me; but I found that nothing did me any good until I tried Bliss Native Herbs.

"I played two seasons in vaude ville under my own name," explains Miss Fisher. "My agent kept me out of New York to get experience; finally he arranged a tryout for me at a Sunday concert in the Bronx. He didn't want my own name used, in case my act was still unfit for Broadway, but when the theater telephoned to ask what name to bill, he was unprepared. Looking out of his office window while he held the telephone, he saw the sign "Grace George, in "The Truth.' Beside this was an advertisement of the Elliott- Fisher bookkeeping machine. 'The single act is Grace Elliott Fisher,' he told the theater. 'Too long,' they objected. 'lt goes as plain Grace Fisher.' " As my one-time agent has often reminded me, it hasn't been a bad name. Sometimes I feel grateful to my sponsors, Grace George and the bookkeeping machine. Miss Fisher learned to operate an Elliott-Fisher machine at the age of sixteen while attending the Mt. Mercy Convent at Buffalo, N. Y., her native city. Deaths and Funerals MRS. MOWERY DIES Shippensburg,. Oct. 9.—After a lingering illness from complications, Mrs. Annie wife of Dr. S. E.
