DROPPED DEAD ON THE STAGE
Armand CasteImary's Life Ended In the
Opera Of "kfartha."


New York. Feb. 11.-Armand Castel-
mary. while singing the role of Tris-
tano in Flotow's opera Of Martha" at
the Metropolitan Opera House last
night, dropped dead In front Of the
footlights and almost in full view of
one of the most brilliant audiences
that has filled the theater this winter.
So quiet was the matter kept, however,
that few in the audience knew that
tragedy had taken place before their
very eyes.
Castelmary, whose magnificent basso
voice has thrilled thousands, was to
sing the part of Tristano, who is rep
resented as a weak old man. 1t was
near the end of the second scene of
the first act, and all the principals
were on the. stage. The chorus were.
dancing and singing around the aged
Tristano when Castelmary fell to the
floor. -
Little attention was paid to this, and
in a moment the singer rose to his feet
and his great voice could be heard
above the united chorus. In two min
utes Castelmary darted towards a,
table at one side of the stage and
grasped hold of it.
The curtain was shot down swiftly,
and just as 1t reached the stage Cas-
telmary dropped to the floor with q
groan. In moment Jean De Reszke,
who was a lifelong friend of Castel-
mary, seized the stricken singer in his
arms. He was unconscious, and died
in q few minutes thereafter
