New York, Sept. 2G.—Who will get the $5,000,000 estate Lotta Crab tgee is believed to have left? The famous actress died last night In Boston—her home since her retirement In 1S91. She was 77. Old timers on Broadway recall that on one gay evening, the then vivacious Lotta announced that she had no living relatives, and that Broadway would receive the great est shock of Its shocking history when her will was made public. That moment will come next week, and probably in this city. She is to be buried here, at Wood lawn cemetery, on Sunday. She will lie in a grave next to that of her brother, Jack, who once man aged her racife stable. When Lotta retired 33 years ago she had the largest fortune ever accumulated by an actress—more than $2,000,000. Lott&'s mother was • largely responsible for the savings. She was also responsible for I^tta’s spinster hood. Following her retirement. Lotta’s mother continued the cautious and successful real estate speculation in Boston and other large cities that they had carried on for some time. In this way the fortune was increased to a sum thought to be in excess of $3,000,000. Broadway, even the last two generations, to whom she was only a memory, is agog to know who will receive the $3 000,000. I/Otta Crabtree's cat_er was a picturesque one. Her real name was Charlotte Mignona Crabtree, and her father was a California gold prospector. In the gold rush of '49 Ixitta's Impromptu dancing for the miners brought her heaps of gold dost and uproarous applause. Her father took her east and her career !elleved, caused Kansas City to urge the high er rate* which would throw the ship ments to its yards. Omaha's total reeolpis have exceed ed Kansas City's In 1924. placing Omaha second only to Chicago in the entire country.
