color theme won't autoload at startup when running in terminal

[Hikaru Ichijyo]

I've been trying to run the color theme "fischmeister" from my .emacs at 
startup, but it won't seem to run when I'm on a text terminal ('emacs 
-nw') unless I load it myself.  Here's the behavior I'm getting:

- Run with X11 from .emacs:			works fine

- Run in terminal manually with
    'M-x color-theme-fischmeister'		works fine

- Run in terminal autostarted from .emacs	no error, but no effect


I've tried paring my .emacs down to the bare minimum that will run 
without an error, resulting in just:

(color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-fischmeister)

This will run with no error, but curiously has no effect at all.  Oddly, 
if I manually type 'M-x color-theme-fischmeister', it then loads.

Any idea why it acts this way?  I'm running GNU Emacs 24.3.1.
