Caruso held a levee in his cabin on the Duc d'Aosta. He held another out on the hurricane deck.

They snapshotted him, they talked to him and when the movie men got through with him, he turned the crank bimeelf and took movies of the moving throng. Caruso cavorted about the deck and his cabin and had more fun than anybody. And how the women laughed and clapped their hands! “Will I come back?” repeated the tenor. “Ah, that’s a song, isn't it? I am to sing an interview this time. ‘Will you come back? “Will you come back? Sure, I'll come back, I'll be back in November. Trouble between me and Gatti-Cazassa? Oh, don't re- ember it.
