Madame Voice Is Stilled By Death Operatic And Concert Singer Succumbs At Age Of 75 Won Acclaim As Motion-Picture Star Despite Years HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 18 Ernestine Schumann-Heink oDeratie and concert singer, died at her home in Hollywoodlands last night at 7.21 o'clock. The singer, who celebrated her seventy-fifth birthday last June 15, lapsed into a coma three hours earlier and her physician. Dr. uei Alter, announced she was suffered a renewed attack last irdaf of a blood malady which caused hemorrhages of the throat and lungs, and several blood transfusions were administered.

Rallied During Night She rallied slightly during Monday right and yesterday morning but her strength failed again as evening approached. Her pulse became irregular and her respiration more labored as the end neared. At her bedside when the end came were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schumann-Heink and their two daughters.

Barbara and Kathryn; Mr and Mrs. Ferdinand Schumann- Heink, Mrs. Charles Fox, of San Diego, a daughter, and two of the other grandchildren. Ditti Schumann-Heink. daughter of Hans Schumann-Heink.

the singer's son who was killed in action during the World War as a German soldier, and Hans Schumann-Heink. son of August Schumann-Heink. who died in action as a member of the American Expeditionary Forces. Other Survivors Other surviving children are George W. Schumann, of Hollywood; Walter Schumann, of Chicago, and Mrs.

Charlotte Grief, of Leipzig, Germany. The great contralto, who was known as to United States World War veterans because of her interest in their welfare, maintained her characteristic cheerfulness up to the time she became unconscious. Well, now doctor, do whatever you she greeted Dr. Alter yesterday morning. He had been her physician since, as an army surgeon, he treated her during a serious attack of pneumonia in San Diego in 1917.

An attack similar to that which caused her death, although not so serious, occurred after the singer returned from a Wisconsin vacation last summer. Two blood transfusions were made at that time, and she seemed on the way to recovery. Found Triumph In Films Mme. Schumann-Heink found a final triumph in the movies. But like many anotner she met defeat and disappointment in her first attempts in Hollywood, and at the end she was disheartened because her health prevented her from consolidating a partly won success.

Some eight years ago she broached the subject of a film career to Edwin Carewe, then one of the top- ranking producers. Carewe placed her under contract and prepared to film a story based on her own life. His plans never came to fruition, however, financial difficulties assailing him before he could start on the project. Deeply chagrined, Mme. Schumann-Heink sued him.

Got Another Opportunity Last year, after the death of her friend, Marie Dressier, thte diva was iven another opportunity. When liss Dressier made her last ance in pictures, producers sought eagerly for a successor, Jesse Lasky, then making the romantic comedy, to Romaii- ce," thought of the Viennese sineer. She was 73 years old. but she cepted his offer and plunged into the strenuous work with an ardor that surprised the most ambitious youngsters on the sets. The picture offered her onlv a small role.

She emerged virtually a I star. The film world rang with ac- I claim for her. She had gone to Chicago before the preview. No sooner was it shown than two com. panies were bidding for her.

Promised Long Contract Lasky, her erstwhile employer, I boarded a train announcing he would place her under long-term contract, and star her at once. A representative of another studio stepped aboard an airplane, and was in Chicago with a contract readv for her signature before Laskv arrived. She signed, and was to" have been costarred with Mav Robson, also a septuagenarian, in a film called Twice a production date was set for the film. Each time her failing health prevented it. She was bitterlv disappointed.

too she said in one of her last interviews. "I am past 70. and yet I pray God for a few more years in which to bring some sunshine and haupiness into the lives of the people. want to be gay. to dance and sing on the screen, to be a comedienne like Marie Dressier herself.

And I I can do it. Referred To know because I have had so many sorrows myself, so much hardship. I have suffered, so I can bring happiness to others if they will only let This was the last chapter of her colorful life. Born in Prague. Austria June 15, 1861, Madame Schumann-Heink was the daughter of an Austrian army officer, Major Hans Rossler, and Carlotta Goldman, a singer.

As a child, she was taught by her mother, and later the great teachers. Krebs and Wullner. gave lessons to the girl prodigy. She first attracted public attention at the age of 11 while in Ursuline Convent in Prague, where she was educated, and several years later 1 made her Viennese operatic debut. Scored Success In 1878, she scored a tremendous success at Gratz in a concert and was engaged by the Dresden Opera, where her success led to an engagement in Hamburg.

There she was classed as a until the illness of a prima donna put her into the principal role in "Carmen" and catapulted her to stardom. Later she was invited to sing at Bayreuth, the greatest honor a Wagnerian singer can achieve. In 1898, she signed a ten-year contract with the Berlin Ooera, with provisions for winter visits to New York to sing with the Metropolitan. In 1904, she signed a contract with Maurice Grau and came to New York to make her permanent home. She named her youngest baby George Washington.

In 1914. she settled in San Diego. where she lived between operatic and concert engagements. During the World War. she was one of the most active workers in the American cause, although she had sons on both sides of the conflict.

She was married three times, in 1882 to Ernest Heink; in 1893 to Paul Schumann, and from 1905 to 1914 to George Rapp. She was the mot'ler of eight children, six of them living.

Miss Lena Ingram and John Bohn, Avondale. LONDON Nov. 18 The friendship of King Edward and Mrs Wallis Warfield Simpson, without mention of the name, came squarely before Parliament yesterday. Red-headed Ellen Wilkinson, pert Socialist member of the House of Commons, brought up the subject of Mrs Simpson and her friendship with King Edward when she why pages had been torn from current issues of American magazines sold here. Directing her query to Walter Runciman.

president of the British Board of Trade she asked "Can the president say why in the case of two American magazines of high repute which have been imported into this country, during the last few at least two and sometimes three pages have been torn out? Can he say what is this thing which the British public ls not allowed to "My department has nothing to do with Runciman replied tersely. After the session Miss Wilkinson, nicknamed "Miss Perky." did not deny that she referred to the Simpson case when she posed her Question. but added, a Briton. I am not supposed to know anything about Mrs. She said that she had seen current issues of the magazine Time with pages ripped out and had been told i that News Review had also been abridged.

The missing pages dealt with detailed accounts of the King friend- ship with Mrs. Simpson Commons procedure preven her from pursuing her questioning of Runciman, Miss Wilkinson said but she would "put down a question'' for Sir John Simon. Home Secretary. asking him "whether this cen- sorship of American magazines is 1 done by Government She said she would ask for a re- ply from Simon on Thursday because she was planning to leave London next Tuesday night. Sir John is in charge of police and all matters of public order.

Shortly after her question she said that the Parliamentary secretary of one of the Ministers came to her and said there was no censorship of the magazines. A l.augh told me the pages were tom out in the United States not in England, to the libel laws, she said with a laugh. But I unmedtateh why if this were so the issues reaching subscribers bv mail were it untouched. If there is a libel, these mail issues obviously expose the publishers to damages as much as the others Miss Wilkinson question was the second effort a Left ing member of Parliament to the House discuss Mrs association with the King John McGovern, Labonte last Tuesday intimated that money spent for King Edward's coronation might be wasted but he was shouted down.
