Tenor's Career a Long
Series of Romances
From Early Youth

Caruso's liGe was one long series OF
romances that didn't last; adulation
IN. opera, houses. and eXcoriat!on in
the courts-always by women.
According to the calendar, he lived
forty-eight years. in romantic ex-
periences, he lived centuries. Only
the last few years OF his life. follow
ing his marriage to girl young
enough to be his daughter, even APP
preached peace.
That girl-wife, who was Miss
Dorothy Park Benjamin, heiress
and daughter OF an old knicker-
booker family, mourns him. with a
baby daughter, Gloria, today.
THE Golden Voice"-thst is what
they called Enrico Caruso-died be-
loved. and rich. But he began life in
abject poverty.
Talent Early Manifested.
His father was a poor peddler, of
Milan. His birth brought no especial
joy to his parents. There were many
little, brothers and sisters, and his
feed. What education he got. in
youth, he CLEANED from the streets.
But even as a boy. playing about
the streets of Milan, the Golden Voice
made itself manifest. They say he
used to sing TO his playmstes-and
they would stop their games to listen.
Later. at the small theaters of
Milan, he got still smaller engage.

In a firm hand, showing no trace

tenor arrested and announced she
would sue for damages.
There was a great hubbub and
Caruso issued many a scornful de-
NAL. and made elaborate prepare
tons to fight the case. But, OF
sudden, Mrs. Graham disappeared.
Csruso paid a small fine in the po-
lice court. and the case was dropped.
Carusos friends always claimed
the whole thing was a frame up"
His. enemies declared the woman
had been bought OFF.
Breach Of Promise Suit.
Back in 1912 Caruso was de-
, PENDANT in sensational breach OF
promise suit brought by Elisa
Ganelli, a beautiful Signorina whom
the tenor discovered working in
Milan glove shop.
Immediately he saw her, IT was
testified at the trial, which took place
in Milan, Caruso sought the proprie-
tor .of the shop. secured an introduce
ton. and then, with typical impetu-
osity, he said:
come now, Signorina. put on your
hat, and we will start tomorrow. for
I have decided to give a mother to
my children, and you are the chosen
one"
Followed a tempestuous courtship,
during which Caruso lavished gems,
gowns, and money on the girl Finally
he took her and her father to Ger
many where he was singing, and es-
tablished them in magnificent
home. There he left them-and sent
back letter to the girl, apologizing
for his conduct, but declaring he
could not marry"
She produced many OF his love let
ters in court They were erotic A
passage from one OF them read: Tell
me, are your tresses very long? Be
cause l have burning longing 70
tie myself up, hand and foot, with
them, and never regain my freedom"
Nevertheless, the girl lost her suit
she asked $4,000 The Milan judges
in pronouncing judgment said: There
Is no doubt that Signor Caruso prom
ised Stgnorina Ganelli to make her
his lawful wife. There were no Just
motives for failing to fulfill his prom
lse. But whereas, IL is clear that. not
withstsnding Signor Csrusco's bland
ishments, and gushing-over love let
ters, she succeeded in maintaining
Il spotless life, she cannot claim rep
aration for any damages"
Another Scandal.
Another scandal, in which the tenor
did not fare so happily is found in
the story OF his affair with Nine Ada
Giachetti, soprano, known to tho
world, for many years, as Nine. Ca
russo.
She was the mother OF his two
sons, and their idyl which began in
Europe In 1897, lasted ten years.
Then, Of sudden, she struck
blow at tho tenor's heart, and a worse
blow at his pride, by clipping with
Caruso's chauffeur, one Cesare
Romanti.
Caruso, singing In New York at the
time, abandoned his contracts, and
chased the pair all over Europe. finally
locating them In a villa in France.
