Messages from all parts of the world inquirinz as to his illness were received at the Caruso apart- ment. They camc from London, Paris, Mexico City, Rome, Milan, Buenos Aires, Havana and many other countries. They were sent not only by persons known in the world of music but rfom many admirers who had sat in his audiences at some time in the 25 years of his career as an opera star. Up to the time of his sailing = for Italy reports were current that Caruso's voice had not withstood the ravages of his many weeks of ill- ness. These were denied by his friends. Given Great Send Off. Thousands of friends who were gathered at the pier cheered him in his gallant effort, but he declined to give an encore ‘“untii next season.” Caruso, looking pale and much thinner doffed his hat in acknowl- edgment of the greetings of the crowd. Police reserves and dock guards had great difficulty in holding in check a great crowd of admirers as they greeted Caruso when he went aboard the steamship, where his most intimate friends bade him and Mrs. Caruso famrewell.

The case of Samuel Sanders against Morris Reicher in which a permanent injunction is sought to prohibit the de- fendant from engaging in a similar business to that which he sold the turn to America next fall and again take his place with the Metropolitan Opera Co. Shortly however after the tenor had arrived in Italy reports began to drift back to this country that he would not sing again before the American public in his old voice. Caruso however, immediately cabled a denial of these reports declaring that “when I want to show I have not lost my voice, I will do so at the proper time and place.” Sang Each Day. Early this month word came from Italy that Caruso was not recovering as rapidly as her been expected and seemed depressed, but friends de- as rapidly as had been expected and that he sang a short time each day. Reports reaching Rome at this time stated that Caruso would. be able to sing in New York by next Winter, though friends reluctantly admitted “it will never be quite the same again.” . News of Caruso’s death on the heels of continued reassuring re- ports from Italy came as a stunning shock to the music loving world. Only last Sunday photographs of the singer in Italy were published here and they showed him cheerful and apparently in robust health. His friends here recalled today that when he was critically ill last winter he often expressed the wish that if he had to die he would prefer to die in his own sunny Italy, for which he always held a deep affection. The breakdown in the tenor’s health last winter followed a series of mishaps to Caruso which cul- minated on December 11 in Brooklyn when he burst a blood vessel while singing in “Elisir d’Amore” at the Academy of Music. Versatility Personified. The list of Italian and French operas in which the noted tenor’s name figures since he first sang in New York revealed an amazing ver- NEW BRITAIN DaslY HERALD, e ey s the impresario, negotiated with him to sing in America for $700 a month but thought the salary was excessive and the deal fell through. Grau was quick to perceive the opportunity he had lost and finally engaged Caruso for 50 performances at $1,000 a night. But Mr. Grau became ill and Caruso, when singing in Lisbon, received word that again he must abandon his hope of singing in America. Heinrich Conred, who followed Mr. Grau at the Metro- politan, however, cabled Caruso an offer to cross the Atlantic and his ambition at last was realized. Made Big Money Although no official statement of his earnings was ever made public, it is known that Caruso, at the height of his Metropolitan career, was receiving an average of $3,000 for each per- formance. On special occasions, such as his 1920 season in Havana, he was paid $10,000 a night. Caruso’s repertoire in America in- cluded the following: (Italian) “Aida,” “Rigoletto,” ‘“La Boheme,” “La Favorita,” “La “La Traviata, “Les Huguenots,” “Fedora,” ‘“Adrienne i Lecouvreur,” “Fedora,” Adrienne {cana,” “Pagliacci,” “L 'Amore dei tre Re,” “Un Ballo in Machera,” “Lodo- letta,” “Marta,” “L ’Elisir d'Amore,” Manon Lescaut,” “Madama Butter- fly,” “La Fanciulla. del West.” *“Lucia di Lammermoor,” “La Gioconda,” “Il Trovatore,” “Don Giovanni,” “Germania,” “Iris,” - “Lucrezia Bor- gia,” “Tosca,” “La Forza del Destino. (French) “Les Pecheurs de Perles, “Armide,” “Faust’ “Julien,” ‘“Le Prophete,” “Carmen,” “Samson .et Delila,” and “Manon.” Honored in 1919. The famous singer - was the guest of honor at a silver jubilee celebration, on the 25th anniversary of his opera- tic debut, in November, 1919, at the Metropolitan, at which prominent New Yorkers, including the mayor and other officials, spoke of his great artistic achievements. He received an illuminated parchment from 35 families holding boxes in the $7,000,- 000 “Golden Horseshoe,” a flag from the city of New York, several medals afd numerous gifts from his fellow artists. Mr. and Mrs. Caruso resided in New York city during the opera season. They had a summer home on Long Island and another residence, Ville alle Panche, at Florence, Italy.

During - his ' indisposition, Caruso was the object of devoted attention by his wife, formerly Miss Dorothy Benjamin, of New York, whom he married in 1918. One child was born to them. Caruso had a son by a former wife, a singer named Ada Ciachetti, with whom he had been associated in opera at Treviso and Bologna. MONEY deposited in Born in 1873 Enrico Caruso, for more than 25 years a celebrity in the world of song. the tenor with. “the golden voice” idolized by millions in America and abroad, had an artistic career as well known as that of any famous states- man or military leader. He was born in Naples, Italy, Feb. 25, 1873, the son of Marcellius Caruso, a mechanic, who detested music but was persuaded to permit his son, when 11 years old, to sing in the churches of his native city. An unpromising pupil for three years he studied under Gugilelmo Ver- gine, pledging his teacher that when ready for a professional career he should pay him one-quarter of his earnings for the following five years. Made Debut in 1894 He made his debut in “L’ Amico Francesco” at the Nuovo theater, Naples, in 1894, later toured Italy and Sicily and was engaged for four sea- sons at La Scala, Milan. Subsequently he sang in St. Petersburgh, Moscow, Warsaw, Rome, Lisbon, Paris, Lon- don and leading cities of Germany. When he came to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York on Novem- ber 23, 1903, the critics did not go into ecstasies over him. One of them wrote on the opening night: “Signor Caruso (as the Duke in ‘Rigoletto’) has many of the tiresome Italian vocal affecta- tions and when he neglects to cover his tones, as he always does when he | becomes strenuous, his voice becomes pallid.” _our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT on or before AUGUST 3rd draws interest from the His First Earnings It is interesting to observe that when Caruso made his Naples debut he sang the title role four times for which he received 100 francs, a pair of stage shoes, a suit of fleshings and a necker- chief.
