Fisher appeared in musical comedy, musical
farce, fantasy, operetta, revue and revivals. She debuted in Salt Lake City with the Salt Lake Opera Company. In Chicago, "she rose from the chorus of a
comic opera company to the ranks of the truly elect, otherwise known as prima donna." She portrayed Flora in the 1902 Broadway musical
The Billionaire. In 1907, an article in
The Washington Post described Fisher as having been "for several seasons a
prima donna in the
Dillingham forces." She appeared with
George M. Cohan in
45 Minutes from Broadway and with
John Barrymore in
Stubborn Cinderella. A
St. Louis Post-Dispatch review of the production of
The Goddess of Liberty in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1910 described Fisher's work as follows: "Sallie Fisher is most of the show and she is worth while [sic]. She sings well, dances divinely and is as good to look at as one could wish." ==Personal life==
