Portraits of Evelyn in various theatrical productions are held by the National Portrait Gallery. In April 1915 while on tour she was taken ill suddenly in Sheffield with appendicitis. She was operated on at the hospital, and her appendix removed, and taken to a nursing home to recover, but died three days later of pneumonia with her husband—theatre critic —at her side.
