| i THE EVENING wenn, OAM CLL MUOCU001. {THE VERDICT OF SIX OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST MEN Congratulations! I saw your wonderful production of “CHU CHIN CHOW.” I was stirred and charmed by the beauty of the scenes and the fascination of the story. I have never seen anything like it! It is marvelous! I wish to compliment you for producing it. Its success will be international. America must take this superb spectacle to its heart. The whole production reflects the greatest possible credit upon the genius of its producers, whose names henceforth in the stage history of New York will typify the highest possible artistry. The costumes and the scenery are wonderful! (Signed) DAVID BELASCO.

One sure test of theatrical genius is to know how to keep your theatre full. You have the secret. (Signed) GIULIO GATTI-CASAZZA, General Manager af the Metropolitan Opera House. I had heard down in South America that you brought “Chu Chin Chow” over the ocean to New York. So just as soon as I arrived from Rio I went to see it. one of the most artistic and most ab- sorbing entertainments I have ever attended. I enjoyed every moment so much that I am going again even if I have to stand up. Good luck to you and “Chu Chin Chow.” (Signed) ENRICO CARUSO.
