Why Mrs. Fiske?

Why is the page titled Mrs. Fiske instead of using her full name, Minnie Maddern Fiske? Duchess of Bathwick (talk · contribs) 17:02, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Picture of the day

Minnie Maddern Fiske (December 19, 1865 – February 15, 1932) was an American actress, producer, director and playwright. She started her acting career at the age of three, was taking on leading roles at sixteen, and was widely considered the most important actress on the American stage in the first quarter of the 20th century. She married the journalist and newspaper owner Harrison Grey Fiske in March 1890, and he directed almost all her plays thereafter.

This picture shows Fiske in 1896 in the leading role of Love Finds the Way, which opened on Broadway on April 11, 1898. She played an unhappy young woman, alienated from her family, who sought romance.Photograph credit: Zaida Ben-Yusuf; restored by Adam Cuerden

Spelling of the word Theatre / Theater

I hesitate to correct the spelling one way or another. Should it be US or UK English? We currently have both spellings in this article. Given direction, I would be pleased to adjust. Quartic (talk) 18:28, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Ernest Haskell portrait of Mrs. Fiske

It's great to see this famous image of Mrs. Fiske by Ernest Haskell included in the article. Please make the following corrections in the caption: 1. Haskell has two L's not one 2. Ernest Haskell was not Mrs. Fiske's cousin. He was a distinguished American artist who did many portraits of theatrical stars in his early career, this was the best known. There does seem to be a link to his article despite the discrepancy in spelling. Thank you! Ivy Chetwynd Ivychetwynd (talk) 01:58, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
