Leerbitger, who managed the Faust Up-to-Date’ Company when that London organization toured this country, was well acquainted with Gertie Hilyer, the Gatety girl, of whose murder by a Jealous husband the cables have just told. “She was a member of the original ‘Faust Up-to-Date’ Company,” sald Mr. Leerburger yester- day, “and appeared with the regular company at the Broadway Theatre some yeura ngo, Bho was one of the original members and played one of the small parts, Miss Hilycr was particularly handsome and lady-like. When the other members of the burlesque com- pany went back to Europe, she, with two or thrag others, remained here, and | the following season she became a mem- ber of the American ‘Faust Up-to-Date’ company, and was one of the four ekirt dancers of that organization. She | remained in America for a r after and then returned to Europe. I was the manager of the company, and on several occasions she asked me to at- tend to business matters for her, She was evidently of good family and she always held herself aloof from the others.” Miva Hilyer was well known | to a good many of the members of the | burlesque and comic opera companies of this clty, nnd everybody had a good word to sy for har yesterday when her tragic death was discussed.
