Lulu Glaser(1874–1958), actress and singer. Born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, she came to Broadway with no previous professional experience and was placed in the chorus ofThe Lion Tamer(1891), where she was assigned to understudy the prima donna. In one of those rare instances when a popular theatrical motif becomes reality, she was catapulted to stardom when the leading lady was taken ill. The show's principal male comedian, Francis Wilson,wrote, “She was graceful in form and action and had wonderfully luminous eyes,” though he diplomatically neglected to mention that critics were divided about hersingingability. For the next twenty years she was a reigning favorite, appearing in revivals ofThe Merry Monarch(1892) andErminie(1893) and inThe Devil's Deputy(1894),The Chieftain(1895),Half a King(1896),The Little Corporal(1898),Cyrano de Bergerac(1899),Sweet Anne Page(1900),The Prima Donna(1901),The Madcap Princess(1904),Miss Dolly Dollars(1905),Lola from Berlin(1907),The Merry Widow Burlesque(1908),Mlle. Mischief(1908), andThe Girl and the Kaiser(1910), but her greatest success was asDolly Varden(1902). Glaser also performed in several nonmusical plays and was long popular in vaudeville.
