CHICAGO, Dec. l3.--Clso Fonte
Campanini, world famous musical
director, died at st. LuNe's hospital
early today following a two months
illness from pneumonia.
Campanini was director of the Chi
cago Grand Opera company for the

world than any other man. Several
OF the most famous singers on the
stage today owe their success to him.
Campanini was born in Parma,
Italy, September 1, 1860. He made
his debut as a conductor at the age
OF twenty. For the last twenty years
he has been one OF the prominent
figures in the musical world and was
the recipient OF honors from Euro
pean and South American govern
ments. He has filled engagements in
practically every leading city in
Europe, South America and the
United States. He first came to this
country thirty-fve years ago at the
request Of Oscar Hammerstein, to
become general director OF the Man
haitian Opera company.
Campanini is survived by his wife,
who, at one time, was famous
singer appearing under the name OF
Eva Tetrazzinf. She IS a sister OF
the famous Luisa Tetrazzini. A
nephew, Italio, is manager of the
Campanini estate.
Campanini was worshipped by
singers and opera goers. Some OF
the stars whom he gave recognition
al, balnoJ n fn
Galli-Curci and John Mccormick,
Rosa Raisa, Mary GarGen, Maurice
Renaud and other famous French
opera singers sang for the first time
in America under his direction.

Opinions were divided on what ef-
feet this might have on the present

be no question in the packers minds
but what, with the elimination of their

suit in greater costs to the consum-

stroyed or seriously impaired. Time
