SAYS SINGERS PAY FOR
APPLAUSE IN CHICAGO
French Tenor Declares Rate Runs
From $50 a Week to $50 a
Performances

CHICAGO. January 13.-Singers of
the Chicago Grand Opera Company
have been paying for applause at the
rate Of from $50 week to $40 per-
formance, according to statements of
Charles Fontaine. French tenor. and
Alesandro Dolci. Italian tenor. made
public today. An assistant stage
manager. the tenors said. was head of
the claque. and obtained the money
under promises of "handclaps, cries of
bravo encore bis" or threats ito
cut off their artistic heads"
Herbert Johnson. controller of the
company, said he had heard rumors
that somebody was shaking down"
the artists and that circular letter
was sent to the singers last month
advising them it was unnecessary to
pay for applause.
Fontaine said the claQue leader told
the applauders. whom he stationed
about the theater. what singers to
applaud, when to start a demonstra
ton and what arias to make the sing
ers repeat so that their artists re-
ception would appear wildly enthu-
siastic."
