and some newspaper men. The dis
cussion happened in turn upon Ca.
ruso's departure for Mexico, where
upon Gianni Viafora said:
"Carus' e ave much better time
now. Get $1,000 a night to sing. Not
so many years ago was bad business
to go to Mexico. There was a man
ager who went there. He was what
you call dead-a-broke-no money. His
artists they had no money. Come to
him this tenor and say: Tmpresario,
must have half dollar for to get
shaved. / cannot sing Romeo tonight
with two week beard And the i'm
presario he say: I no have got half
dollar. We change the opera and you
sing Othello, cause Othello wear
beard, SO you no need the half dol
lar"
This proves that operatic affairs
were very different in the olden days
in Mexico than they are today. when
the president Of the republic has
guaranteed not only the emolument
of Caruso but his safety during his
stay and will send him back to civil
ization in An armored car.
