Caruso Joke Benefits
Young italian Tenor

practical joke played by the late
Enrico Caruso proved of great financial
benefit to Guido Ciccolini, young Italian
tenor, formerly of the Chicago Opera
Company and now appearing in Shupert
vaudeville. The "Pagliaccf' records Oh
both tenors are familiar to music lovers
possessing a talking machine. However
very few of them are aware or the
prank Caruso one day played on the
officials of the recording company. or
of the important developments tna'
grew out of that joke.
This is how it happened. While Ca
russo was on his way to the recording
laboratory he happened to pneet Cicco-
lini. The late tenor invited Ciccolini
to accompany him to the recording
room. where he was to make the record
Of "Pagliacci" When the two entered
the recording room. where all was In
readiness for the great tenor, Car<s'
told Ciccolini to sing the aria from
"Pagliacci'' into the horn to see II the
officials would detect the deception. AT
the conclusion of the number the test
record was taken to the offlclals In a
testing ROOM 1t was a great joke,
thought Caruso and Ciccolini when the
men went into ecstasies over the clear
ness and beauty of the record Both
tenors laughed heartily in explaining the
Joke. Instead of being met with IN
dignation Caruso was thanked for his
little joke and the company immedi-
ately drew up a contract for Ciccolini.
Consequently it happens that the joke
turned out triumph for Ciccolini. and
that is how he happens to be making
