MISS LOLA FAUST.

Miss Lotta Faust, who lightened the
hearts of thousands in THE Wizard Of
o. Wonderland" and "The Midnight
Sons" died yesterday morning in DR.. Bulls
private hospital, No. 33 East SD street.
Half an hour before the end she sang in
her delirium the Carmen love song from
THE Midnight Sons more sweetly and
beautifully than she had ever sung 1t be-
fore and in voice pitched much higher
than in the musical comedy days.
Miss Faust was taken TO the hospital a
week ago last Sunday to have an abscess
removed. The following Saturday pneu-
nonia set in. from which her failing
strength did not permit her to recover.
Miss Faust was born in Brooklyn on
February 8, 1880. She was educated in the
public schools, and was forced to 90 to
work in department store at an early age.
She was only twelve years old when Den
man Thompson saw her dancing and sing
ing in the street one day. He persuaded
her mother to allow her to go on the stage.
and took her into his company. which was
then playing in Paradise Alley" She
stayed with him three seasons. after which
she played in Jack and the Bean Stalk
The Liberty Bellies and ''Milady.' She
sang Sammy in THE Wizard OF o."
which was her first hit. for three years.
She joined Lew Fields in The Girl Be
hind the Counter in 1905 and took the Lart
of Mary Murray in THE Midnight Sons
last summer. which part she played untn
her illness.
Miss Faust was married twice. She was
recently divorced from Richie Ling, who
has been playing with Miss Viola Allen in
The White Sister" Within a few months
she would have been the wife of Malcolm
Strauss a young artist, of No. 81 West
18th street.
The funeral will be at the chapel of the
Stephen Merritt's Burial Company. No. III
Eighth avenue, at 1880 o'clock tomorrow.
The burial will he in Kensico, Cemetery
