The di- rector must be everywhere, not chained to his desk on a first night.

If an artist is i'll for a year or two years his salary goes on just the same, and after 10 years service he receives a pension. This pension Is not paid by the Emperor. It comes from a special fund, set apart for the purpose, per cent of the pro- ceeds from certain special performances, such as when Caruso sings being devoted to the fund, while every time member of the court opera sings in another thea tre, or at private entertainments, per cent of the fee must be paid into the pen sions fund.
