Uncle Harry Talks About
CdruSO, the Great Singer

The other day as I read about
the death OF caruso. the great sing
er. I could not help but recall a
statement that I used TO hear my
father make-and a similar state
ment which my father said he had
often heard his mother make" said
Uncle Harry.
That sounds interesting. tell us
about IT," said Helen.
Well" said Uncle Harry. and Il
was evident from the way he gazed
steadily down across the lawn and
out over. the hills. that he was
reaching back into the memory OF
other DAYS. MY father was very
fond OF music and as a boy, and
later as a man, he heard all the
great singers Of his time. Many a
time I have heard him regret the
loss TO the world Of the wonderful
voice Of Patti. At other times I
have heard him tell how his mother
heard the famous Jenny Lind, and
how the whole world regretted that
her voice was lost when she died"
II think l know the thought that
is in your mind now" said Jimmy.
you're thinking what wonderful
change has come into the world with
the invention OF the talking ma
chine"
But the Great Voice Stin Sings
Exactly" replied Uncle Harry.
"Caruso, the great tenor-perhaps
the greatest singer the world has
ever known--is dead. but his voice
and his songs have been preserved
through the talking machine and the
records. What is true Of Caruso is
true Of other great singers who have
died during the last ten or twelve
years. and Il will be true OF all the
great musicians Of today and the
future.
