OF PRIMA DONNA
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—(AP).—Failing to find any clue in their search for Ethel Leginska English pianist the police have resorted to the radio.
A broadcast description will be sent out at the request of her friends, who are growing more apprehensive for her safety.
According to her secretary Miss Leginska had no money when she disappeared. The police have visited several pawn shops in the vicinity of the pianist's home in an effort to discover whether she pawned either her fur coat or jewels. They had no success.
The Secretary, Miss Oliver, added to the apprehension of the pianist's friends when she disclosed that Miss Leginska attempted suicide while a student in Germany.
"When Miss Leginska was 17 or 18 and was studying music in Germany" said Miss Oliver, "She jumped into a river. Some one rescued her. The next thing she knew she was in London. All she remembered of the occurrence after her immersion was her going from farm house to farm house, begging her meals and sleeping in barns."
