miring envy.
Is there, in fact, one who doesn't?
There certainly is Tony Ponzillo
brother Of Rosa Ponselle, prima donna OF
the great Metropolitan Opera Company,
does not Furthermore, much as he ad-
mires Caruso's voice, he admits he
wouldn't be a Caruso!
The amazing proof Of Tony Ponzillo's
sincerity is that while shoVelling coal in
Connecticut there came to him expert
emissaries of that same Metropolitan
grand opera on the word Of his famous
sister. Hearing him sing, they declared
his voice as great as Caruso's in his youth,
took him up to the mountain and showed
him vision Of himself supplanting Caru-
so, and straightway offered him princely
salary to begin.
And Tony Ponzillo refused!
Surely there could be no greater proof
of sincerity than that!
I'D rather shovel coal in oyeralls than
be a Carusoi" declared Tony
What could be the reason for such an
astonishing declaration? A representative
Of this magazine called upon the prima
donna's brother in the Italian quarter Of
Meriden, Conn, to see whether he would
tell. Tony Ponzillo was delivering coal
close by-and in the oVeralls he preferred
to Caruso's magnificent stage costumes.
He beamed and hummed as it shot through
the back drop Of his delivery wagon into
a patrons cellar.
Come back to my office and I'll tell
you" he said. He pointed proudly at his
sign before he entered.
I'm boss!" he remarked, graphically In
the office was Mr.. Ponzillo, his and the
famous prima donna's father. The elder

Was 1t that Tony did not like Caruso7
No, he liked his voice, admired him great
ly. Was it that he did not like to put on
opera night after opera night the silk and

about the stage?
