JOHN MCCORMACK AND DIA-
GRAM OF PRESENT THROAT
BY EDWARD M. THIERRY

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE jinx
of the million-dollar throat has struck
another great tenor.
John Mccormick, the great con-
cert tenor, has been dangerously i'll
with an infected throat. Physicians
say he il out Of danger-but will
not sing again for months.
1t was an injury to the throat that
started the seven and half months
illness that killed Enrico Caruso,
grand operas greatest tenor.
Mccormack, worlds highest priced
singer, is suffering from different
malady than Caruso's, but there are
points of similarity.
A capillary burst just about the
vocal cords in Caruso's throat while
lie was singing in Brooklyn, Dec. IL,
1920. Two days later he was said to
have recovered and he was able to
appear. Ten days later he developed
pleurisy and was operated on.
Last spring, much improved, he
returned to Italy. But 1t was to die.
For he had a relapse and died the
first week week in Augat;.
Mccormack month ago mad an
attack Of acnte larylg'tis while sing
lag in Minneapolis e'lrning t.
New York he was to sing at the Hip
podrome Sunday night, April .. But
he was taken i'll and for the first time
in 13 years forced to abandon con-
cert.
Hiss illness was not thought to be
serious. But within a few days it
was reported that he was near death
Now all concert engagements for
three months have been called off.
McCormack's latest throat attack
is called an outgrowth Of the Mime
apolis illness and due partly to his
refusal to rvst sufficiently. Within
a few days he lost 20 pounds-he
normally weighs 220-due to great
ly swollen uvula, making it impos-
sible to take solid food and actually
threatening strangulation. Physi-
clans said he had strptococcic in
fective throat.
