p_freearl.jpgAll that can presently (September 2022) be gleaned about Louie Freear from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an English music hall performer who has been featured on 4 works published between 1896 and 1897.
Her portrait on the left is taken from She Just Walks On (1897) music by Bennett Scott, words by A J Mills and published by Francis, Day & Hunter, London W.C.2, England.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
This list is derived from information provided by Monologues.co.uk which went down sometime in 2023.
The loss of this valuable resource is very sad and a mystery.
