Conchita, Toast of Gold Camps
In Wild West Era, Dead at 79
By the Associated Press.
SOUTH COLBY, Wash., June 15.
—"Conchita, the California favor
ite” who once was the toast of
the gold camps, will be buried to
morrow beside her husband, J. Leo
Shaw, "the original man on the
flying trapeze.”
Conchita—Maria de la Concep
cion Conchita Seraflna Bacigalupi
Shaw—died Thursday at the age
of 79 far from the footlighted fame
of her early-day vaudeville troup
ing career.
Once she played California gold
camps, the sophisticated salons of
19th century Boston and "packed
them in” at Leadville, Cripple Creek,
Cheyenne, Denver, Butte and Fair
banks, Alaska, when those mining
centers were at their wildest.
Her husband, as "Munis Leo,”
was a famous circus acrobat when
he met 16-year-old Conchita while
playing Madison Square Garden in
New York. They married and be
gan trouping together, climaxing
their career by being featured on
the same billing with T. W. Keene,
the great tragedian in San Fran
cisco in ’75.
Mrs. Shaw made her first stage
appearance as “Little Willie” in
"East Lynne,” when she was 8.
Later, as a member of the Child
Opera Company. New York City,
she toured the West Indies as a
singer and actress.
One of the Shaws’ favorite recol
lections was the time roadside ruf
fians halted their stagecoach on
the plains and ordered a "command
performance.” Conchita sang the
sentimental ballad. "Is Mother
Thinking of Her Boy?” The high
waymen, in a burst of apprecia
