MET DEATH IN POVERTY
rHEATRRaoERs ONCE WORSHIP
ED AT HER SHRINE.
Prima Donna Louise searle Sang in
Summer Opera in Washington
for Several Years.

Regarding the sad death Of Louise Searle,
who sang in summer opera in Washington
for two or three years, the New York
World Of today says:
One need not be an old New Yorker to re-
member Louise Searle, the beautiful prima
donna of light opera, who died of starva-
ton soon after midnight on Saturday morn
ing. Her last hours were passed in miser-
able. cold, cherries lodging at 633 West
Houston street.
Louise Searle sang for several seasons in
grand opera with Emma Abbott's company.
She had an exquisite soprano voice, was an
accomplished actress, and her fresh blonde
beauty had hundreds Of warm admirers.
When Edward E. Rice was organizing the
company that made him and Evangeltne'
famous, he engaged Louise Searle to sing
the principal role Of Gabriel. Fay Temple
ton was Evangeline, but even her beauty,
Wit and velvety voice did not outshine the
attractions Of Louise Searle. The salary
Rice paid her was $500 a week-something
unheard of up to that time in comic opera.
Fortune Soon Melted Aawy.
When Rice produced "Adonis' at the
Bijou Theater, Louise Searle was still his
prima donna. During the long run of that
wonderfully successful musical hodge
podge, Miss Searle shared leading honors
with Harry Dixey.
Miss Searle became slightly lame ten
years ago from the effect of fall. She
retired from the stage, never to appear
again. She was married when very young
to William Franklin of Philadelphia, and
at the time of her retirement her sons VIII
liam and Harry were about to be graduated
from college She had saved several thou
sand dollars from her salary, and she be-
lieved that she was in comfortable cir
cumsances. Her husband died when the
boys were infants.
The prima donna's sons were not fortu-
nate. William tried literature and news
paper work, without making a success of
either. Harry was unable to earn much,
and he devoted his time to waiting upon his
mother, who became helpless invalid.
The prima donna's little fortune soon
melted away. Each year found the family
Of three poorer than they ever were before,
and at last they sold most Of their belong
ings and went to live in a lodging at 633
West Houston street. Just before Christ
mas William lost his employment, and the
existence of the family after that was. a
hopeless struggle with want.
