Enrico Caruso turned Enrico Alessan-
dro from the law business to music. Ales-
sandro's parents were too poor to give
him any education and ne sang at street
corners in Norwalk, Conn, to get money.
Eventually he appeared In the theatres
there and was able to complete q high
school course. Then he came to New
York and got his degree in law year
ago last June.
Friends who had heard him sing ar
ranged to have Caruso hear him. When
ne had heard him the worlds greatest
tenor threw up his hands and said:
"What, study law with a voice like
that"
Immediately several wealthy persons
interested themselves In Alessandro. Mrs
George h. Dominick. Mrs. William Wilson
Parmalee McFadden and others took up a
collection amounting to $1,000 They
promised more II II were needed. In May
of this year Alessandro gave a concert
for his benefactors at the Field Club In
Greenwich Conn. and left soon afterward
for Italy. He was accompanied by Mrs

who had given him free instruction in her
classes.
