Linda Verner

On joining the acting company of Selina Dolaro, Verner appeared in The Black Prince (1874) at London's St James's Theatre.

There on 25 March 1875 Verner appeared in a triple bill in which she created the small role of the First Bridesmaid in the original production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial by Jury; in the same evening, she was Polly in Charles Collette's Cryptoconchoidsyphonostomata and Guadelen and Mannelita in Offenbach's La Périchole.

[2] After her marriage Verner continued to perform in London and in the provinces, in 1879 appearing with Dolaro in La Périchole and Another Drink, the latter with music by Edward Solomon, following which she travelled to Dublin with Lydia Thompson and appeared in more pantomime before returning to London and playing at the Opera Comique in Lila Clay’s all-woman company in the operetta An Adamless Eden (1882).

[6] On her return to the Gaiety she was the Duchess Agio Uncertanti in Ruy Blas and the Blasé Roué (1889–90); Yolande of Bar in Joan of Arc, or the Merry Maid of Orleans by Adrian Ross and J. L. Shine at the Opera Comique (1891) opposite Marion Hood in the title role;[7] Poplin in one matinee performance of Stage Struck (May 1891);[8] Ruth Ipgreve in one matinee performance of Guy Fawkes, Esq.

Edwardes and Gaiety Theatre performer Fred Leslie raised £100 to support her six children[3] and her "long incapacitated" widower, George Potier.
