It was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, 5 December 1927, p12 as follows: 'Vancouver, Dec.8. A telegram from Spokane, Washington, reports the death of Mrs Clay Smith (Lee White), the London Musical revue star, who was stricken with illness while in Australia, and who recently suffered a stroke. Miss White, whose real name was Lee Anne Smith, was well known in Australia, where, in company with her husband, Mr Clay Smith, she appeared in revue and comedy. She was untiring in her efforts on behalf of charity, and successfully launched a fund for raising 10,000 shillings for St.Margaret's Hospital, Sydney. The late Miss White, who possessed a bouyant personality, first came to Australia under engagement to the Tivoli Theatre, but later, in conjunction with her husband, she produced revues and plays in England and Australia.'
