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

THURSDAY EVENING,
Dolores Howell, finally billing herself
as plain Evelyn Howell.
"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.

ON HONOR ROLL
John S. Smith Holds Record
For Efficiency; Known

i month after forty-four years, eleven
months and thirteen days of service
with the great corporation and es
tablishing an excellent record for
efficiency.
Mr. Smith was born at Bellwood,
September 20. 1854. During his boy
hood days the Bell's Gap Railroad
was constructed. He was employed
for a time in assisting the sur
veyors In their work. He went to
Altoona when a young man and en
tered the service of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company on April 1,
1873, as a brakeman on the Pitts
burgh division, and this he follow
ed until November 14, 1873.
Rim to Harrisburg
On March 6, 1874, ho became a
brakeman on the Middle division
and held that position until Novem
ber 1, 1879, when he was trans
ferred to the Altoona car shops as
freight car building. On January 1.

Altoona Has a Strike That
Is Expected to End Today
Altoopa, Pa., Oct. 9. Employes
numbering about fifty in all, are out
on a strike here. They are em
ployes of the Hollidaysburg, East
Altoona and Altoona enginehouses
of the Pennsylvania railroad. It is
not a question of wages, but one of
controversy. Officials said to-day
that nearly all men would be back to
work by this evening, as soon as ii*e
men could be given to understand
conditions. A number of the men
who went out yesterday are back to
work to-day.
There were no delays to trains or
other business because of this walk
out. Officials said men had been
transferred from other departments
to the enginehouse and that no trou
ble was being experienced. It was
alo said at division headquarters
that if necessary the Hollidaysburg
enginehouse could be closed and all
the work looked after at Altoontv
but this would not happen as enough
men are at work there to keep up
to the minute with business. The
men who are out are making no
claims. They simply await the re
turn of the proper officials to ad
just matters.
