"Lion Solser" Our collaborator Vosmaer writes to us on 5 August: For a very large number of Indies people it will probably not be necessary to describe the person of the best transvesti, and one of the best duetists and genre comedians our country has known, who has a nervous disorder of took us away: Lion Solser. Most of my readers, I think, must have heard and seen at least once in their lives that little, elegant couple singer, so classy in the black skirt, and yet who in an instant transformed himself into the most slender Jordanian shark bay or maddened peasant girl. And in doing so have admired his expressive, expressive, powerful and the largest halls filling voice and crisp diction into the smallest corners. Lion Solser turned 38 years old. He began very early in the career that had been prescribed for him, if only out of respect for his ancestors. At the age of about 19 - - I could say it exactly if I went to ask his long-term friend and associate Hesse, who lives in the same house as me, but I dare not disturb him on this funeral day, because he is miserable, devastated -he set foot on the variety stage as a chansonnier, humorist, character comedian. Lately the already hot-blooded Solser has been very "troublesome." His friends had to keep a close eye on him after he once, for some futile reason, suddenly, in the middle of his part, began to lash out at the audience, something a man like Solser would never have done under normal circumstances. That was during a performance by Schellevis Mie, now about six months ago. Then things quickly, anxiously, quickly diminished with him. He started to rant for no reason, became quarrelsome, which also did not fit with his nature, took a month off to 'rest completely', seemed completely healed, suddenly collapsed again, until his inexorable nervous illness struck him down with one last blow.
