Died. Mme. Georgette Leblanc, 66, longtime intimate and "inspiration" of Belgian poet Maurice Maeterlinck; after a year's illness; in Le Cannet, France. In 1893, entranced by Maeterlinck's poetic mysticism, which she discovered after a chance reading of his essay on Emerson, she tore up her contract with the Opera Comique, left Paris for Brussels "to become the wife of the great Maeterlinck." Wearing on her forehead a blue diamond which she said was a symbol of happiness, Mme. Leblanc met Maeterlinck at a supper party, lived with him for more than 20 years, and maintained a brilliant salon in Paris frequented by Anatole France, Debussy, Rodin, Mallarme, many another famed artist. She came to the U.S. in 1912, toured in Pelleas and Melisande, was perhaps more famed for her clothes than for her soprano voice, was most famed for the romantic legend of her role as "Mme. Maeterlinck." That role ended in 1919 when the poet married Renee Dahon, a young actress who had lived with them for eight years.
