In New York had put their names 10 these
sentiments.
After the second act tho singers who
took part in It were twice recalled.
There were five recalls. two Of which
brought put Signor vlgns, after the third
act, with a wreath for Signor Caruso n
flowers for Mime. Sembrich. Signor Csruso
did not appear alone after either act, al
though over the general applause there
we're still calls Of Viva Italia and viva
Caruso."
There were eight men In citizens clothes
from the Central Once, but no other deteo-
tives we're in the theatre, nor were any
precautions taken to preserve order. There
was only n change in the opera. Signor
Caruso omitted the usual action Of the
first act when he and Nine. Sembrich
search for the key lost on the floor.
At the conclusion OF tho last act Caruso
was called before the curtain twice. The
applause was hearty, but by no means
boisterous. The audience then fled out
OF the theatre In much the same manner
as or ordinary nights.
Director Conried was greatly pleased
over the reception his tenor received. He
said that no wss perfectly satisfied that
the public agreed with him that Caruso
was innocent Of the charge that had boon
made against him, and that tho applause
and greeting Of the audience was Q vindica-
ton OF the singer.
The crowd that gathered outside Of the
opera house early last night and hung about
the place for some time after the curtain had
gone up was said by old employees Of the
place and by policemen who had seen service
there during many seasons as the largest
that had ever gathered in and around the
place.
Police Inspector Flood had charge OF
the arrangements with forty men from the
trafic squad. Ave mounted policemen and In
one heavy rush he called out to n policemen
and a roundsman that he had on reserve at
the West Thirtieth street station. There
were twenty detectives in and about the
theatre.
In the line waiting to buy standing room
were observed more than thirty men Known
b the police and attaches Of the house as
ticket SPECTATORS. 1t was announced to
all Of those in line that only one ticket
would be sold to one person. There was q
squad Of cops near tho box ONCE and they
rushed everybody into the house as fast
az they got their tickets. This fact became
known to the ticket spectators In the line
and about twenty-five Of them dropped
out. Some remained, bought their tickets
and then went in to hear and zee the per-
Torrance. Three spectators put up a
kick when they learned that they had to go
inside. They we're led aroun to the box
Off oe, surrendered their tickets and got
the sl.5o that they had paid.
Two arrests were made. George W.
Young was taken into custody for selling
tickets without a license. A man who said
he was Henry A. Daniel. a broker. living at
lO7 West Eighty-fourth street, got a stand
ing room ticket and was 30 anxious to get
inside that he bowled people right and
left. One OF those he bumped against was
Inspector Flood. The latter asked Daniel
what his hurry was, and the broker replied
hat he wanted to get a good position SO
hat he could yell -Mopkey housel' at
Caruso. Inspector Flood says the man had
dined exceedingly well. and had him taken
10 the West Thirtieth street station house
and locked up on a charge Of intoxication.
There was some trouble for the police
when all OF the standee tickets had been sold.
Those that had not been able to secure
tickets crowded into the foyer. and three
different times the police were forced to
clear the place. II was no easy task. as
many Of the mob were women It was this
crush in the foyer thai caused Inspector
Flood to summon the reserve force from
the West Thirtieth street station. This
force was dismissed shortly before 0 o'clock
as everything was as smooth as usual put
side the opera house by that time.
There was no unusual crowd outside
when the performance ended n the aud
enoe fled out.
Caruso faced only fifteen men when he
came out Of the stage entrance. He walked
to a Seventh avenue car. and those h a
gazed at him made no demonstration what
ever. Caruso came by surface car and
went back to his hotel the same way.
