years a celebrity in the world of song,
the tenor with "the golden voice. idol

abroad, had an artistic career aslwell

in Naples, Italy, February 25, 1873,
the son 0fAMarcellius Caruso, a me-
chanic, who detested music but was
persuaded to permit hfs son, when IL
years old, to sing in the churches of
his ative city, An unpromisng pupiI,
for three years he studied under Cog
lielmo Vergins, pledging his teacher
that when ready for a professional
career he should pay him one-quarter
of his earning for the following five
years.
He made his debut in ''L' AMIGO
Francesca at the Nuvo Theater, Ma
pies, in 1894, later toured Italy and
Sicily and was engaged for four sea-
sons at La Scala, Milan. Subse-
quently he sang in ST. Petersburg,
MOSCOW, Warsaw, Rome, Lisbon,
Paris, London and leading cities of
Germany When he came to the
Metropolitan Opera House in New
York on November %. 1903, the critics
did not go into tcstacies over him.

night: "Signor Caruso (as the Duke
In Rigoletto) has many of the'itire-
some Italian vocal affections and
when he neglects to cover his tones
las he always does when he becomes
strenuous his voice becomes pallid.'

1t is interesting to observe that
when Caruso made his Naples debut
he sang the title role four times for
which he received 100 francs, pair

he Atlantic and his ambition at last
vas realized.
Although no official statement ol
lis earnings was ever made public
is known that Caruso, at the height
VI his Metropolitan career, was re
;eiving an average of $4,000 for each
performance. On special occasions
such as his 1920 season in Havana
.e was paid $4,000 night

operas in which the noted tenor S

New York revealed an amazing ver-

America, from the days of Brignoli
Campenini, Ravelli, Tamagno and
Jean de Reszke, il is recorded, ever
reigned so long in popular favor.
Caruso, after his strenuous opera
seasons, sometimes had trouble with
lis throat, which he usually overcame
with little rest and care and at GER
tain intervals, rumors that 'Caruso
will never sing again were frequent
iy printed. In the winter of 1920,
however. he suffered a serious afflic-
zion when a small blood vessel in his
throat burst while he was singing in
''E'lisie d'Amore" in the Brooklyn
Academy OF Music. Recovered from
this mishap, Caruso was stricken with
pleurisy
During his indisposition, Caruso
was the object of devoted attention
by his wife, formerly Miss Dorothy
Benjamin, of New York, whom he
married in 1918. One child was born
to them. Caruso had son by for
