Caruso Called Back Many
Times at His Farewell
for Season

A tumult of applause broke out last
night in the Metropolitan Opera House
as the curtain descended upon the LAST
scene of "Rigoletto farewell
to New York for the season. MI
Caruso, Nine. Barrientos. Mr.. De Luca
and Mr.. Rothier were called back al
least a score of times to bow and smile
at a frenzied audience.
Even that was not enough. The up,
roar continued. Mr.. Caruso stepped
out egain, this time alone. The clamor
redoubled. Five times he mrde his es-
cope and FIVE times he was called back.
"Three cheers for the United
States," he cried on his fifth appear
ance.
The cheers were given and then
soma.
Three cheers for the Allies!" de-
manded the inspired tenor, making a
strategic retirement to previously
prepared position. The audience gave
the cheers with a will and then de-
nlanded their Caruso again. Even the
asbestos curtain failed TO still the
crowd, and after ten minutes Caruso
came out again, this time in his street
clothes. Thrice more he was called
back.
The annual students performance of
the Metropolitan Ballet School took
place yesterday afternoon at the Met
ropolitan Opera House. The dancing
Of the young girls was excellent, speak
ing volumes for Nine. Pauline Yer
hoeven's careful training. Among
Nine. Verhoevcn's private pupils who
took part were Maurice and Walton
and Virginia Getchell, a tiny little miss
Of six, whose exquisite appearance and
equally exquisite dancing were the hit
of the afternoon.
OF the regular ballet the best dane
ing was that of Miss Queenie Smith, in
two pas seul by Galemberti and
Strauss. Miss Smith possesses real
grace and charm, and is, all things con-
sidered, the most promising dancer the
school has produced of recent years.
Good words, too, should be said for
the Bohemian Dance of Miss Agnes
Roy and Miss Jessie Rogge. The work
of the Metropolitan Ballet School has
already borne rich fruit in the improve
ment of the ballet ensemble. Nine
Verhoeven is chiefly responsible for
this, although her predecessor, Nine
Cavalazzi. laid the foundation on which
she has built.

Nurse Lost Her Job

Her husband had just come home
and had his first meeting with the new
nurse, who was remarkably pretty,
says an exchange. "She is sensible
and scientific, too" urged the fond
mother, "and says she will allow no one
to kiss baby while she is near" "No
one would want to-" replied the hus-
band, while she is near" And the
nurse was discharged.

Amsterdam, Oct S-The Belgian
motorboat Scaldis ran the blockade
from Germany, flying German adj

Holland with load of prominent

| aroused much interest along the
whole length of the Ssheldt-
The Scaldis formerly belonged to
the Belgian government and was con-
fscated by the Germans, who fitted

edge of the river. He frequently had
the governor-general on board and
from the mast there generally hoated
| an admiraPs flag, for which every
guard on the river and canals showed
respect.
Jeff early this month determined
/ to make a serious attempt to convey
to safety a group of prominent Bel
| gians who were in. danger of prosecu-
ton by the Germans. and these men
were SO weary of the German regime
that they were willing to risk their
| lives to escape. Jeff had orders to

werp to Brussels on the following
I MONDAY. He inquired That II ne crulS-
ed northWard on Sunday the guards

| Governor-General was taking a short
trip to the frontier. He started at
noon, hosting the admiraFs flag.
The Belgian civilians were hidden
below deck, the captain and two as
sistants remaining above deck. They
passed the forts Of st. Marie and
Philip de Paarl and by Liefkenshoek
and Doel, their flag everywhere sal
