Helene Millard(1905-1974)

The Henry Duffy Players were in Denver, Colorado, USA presenting the play, The Bad Man. The role of Pancho Lopez was played by Leo Carrillo, later to gain fame as Pancho, sidekick on the television series The Cisco Kid. The role of Lucia Pell, played by Helene Millard, required a song to be sung. Just as she finished the song, a shot rang out. A man in the lobby committed suicide putting the audience in a temporary panic. She later joked that perhaps he could not bear my singing.
