main differences are that their Gus

Many Sleep on Train
In the coaches of the train the chorus
people, the orchestra and the stage me-
chanics were snatching what comfort
and sleep they could out of the trip.
They looked like any other party of
foreign born Americans travelling late
at night, sleepy, comfortable contor-

sweater caught the eye among the

RIDING ON "NEW YORK VOCAL"
Great Tenor Forge Stage Jokes and Laughs it'll Other Song
Birds While Committing Bet,Ueen This CITY
and Manhattan

One of the most interesting commut-
ers' trains in the world pulled out of
Broad Street Station Tuesday night
carrying Caruso and the opera singers
back TO their homes in New York Gayly
and brilliantly it slipped away into the
dark. like last clear echo that haunts
the final curtain of the opera.
The real Csruso gets on this train,
not the great tenor Of the stage, but
Enrico Caruso. smiling. stocky. suaSe,
genial man among his friends As
he steps on the train he leaves the dress
ing room and the opera behind and is
just John W. Commuter on his way
home after the days work.
The great characteristic of Caruso of
the stage is his geniality. People like
lin because he is courteous and affable
in his reception of them.
The atmosphere of this midnight trip
to New York is more like the start of
an outing than the end OF a business
engagement.
-Four Hundred Persons In Party
Soon after II the opera people, 300
or 400 strong. begin to gather for their
train. There are the handful of stars.
the executive staff, the men and women
of the large chorus. the eighty musi-
clans Of the orchestra and an army of
stagehands and electricians. In few
minutes the six coaches and the Pull
man of the special" are filled.
There is an unreality about this
train. 1t is foreign. temperamental,
like no other train in tho world. One
thinks of old days in Vienna and Paris,
of voices and personalities that are
gone and far off, the clear laughter Of
beautiful women. It has about its
commonplace cars the ardor and inpul
siveness of southern people. of artists
and lovers.
Little groups of men, with eyes
startlinGly dark and intense. walk up
and down the platform smoking cigar
cites, or stand talking with nervous
gestures aud quick plays of expression.
Tho strain of the evening Is over, and
they are like children who are happy
in tho afterglow of pleasant excite
ment.
They climb aboard. The train slides
out ot the station, on past North Phila q
delpha toward New York.

members of the STAFF were settled for

Who is HAMILTON,
POLITICAL ANGEL?.
Sam Gave $4,000 to RepubIi-
can Election Funds-Five
Times More Than Lane
TOTAL SPENT IS $396,ee9

Mystery, apparently impenetrablc,
surrounds the identity of Sam Ham
ilton who dropped $4,000 in the
contribution basket Of the Republican
central campaign committee without a
whimpcr
'Who's Whot' that we'll known
book of notables, has nary a word about
Sam. nor is his name in "Nyhat' &
WhatT' literary encyclopedia.
There are several such Hamiltons in
that well-known literary work, the
city directory, but it is very sparing in
information.
As the selfsame Sam Hamilton gave
seven times as much as Dave Lane. the
sage of the Organization, many believe
that Sam was seven times as much
interested.
