Alice Fischer (January 16, 1869 – June 23, 1947)[1] was an American stage actress born in Indiana. Her one film appearance was the now lost 1917 National Red Cross Pageant. She was a great beauty as a young woman at the turn of the 20th century.
She made her stage debut in 1887 in a play called Nordeck. Her Broadway debut was on 3 December 1888 at the Broadway Theatre, playing Minna in Little Lord Fauntleroy. In 1892 she played Agrippina in a production of Nero at the Fourteenth Street Theatre. In 1893 she toured with legendary Joseph Jefferson.[2]
She founded the Twelfth Night Club in New York and was the President of the organisation for over 20 years.
