Voice of CarusO
Found in Laundry
Professor Claims

NEW YORK-Blg chosted Glu-
seppe. Argentine, Brooklyn laundry
worker. Is going to lay down his
flatlron for good. Giuseppe Is happy
as a lark--beCause he sings like one.
a new Caruso is in the making,
declares Professor Jascha Bourg.
who found" Argentine trllling high
"E" notes TO his fellow flatiron
wielders.
81 believe" asserted Prof. Bourg.
that, with two or three years OF
training, Argentine win be the logi-
cal successor TO Caruso. He can
reach two notes higher than the
highest known pitch ever taken by
the human voice. Caruso only went
to high C. but Argentine can take
high II without apparent effort and
sustain II as long as one could wish.
Yet, with all this marvellous strength
OF voice, there is in II that same
luscious full-throated, golden quail
ity that was characteristic of Caru-
SOS voice n few years before his
death. II is Just as full and ringing
at It's highest pitch as Il is at the
lowest note OF the scale.
"Throat Like Caruso's."
"Strangely-and the fact is ex-
planned by the unusual construction
OF Argentino's throat. which is SINH
lar to that OF Caruso--the higher
note he takes the broader his voice
becomes, despite the natural tend
ency OF the voice TO sharpen and be-
come thin as II mounts the scale"
Giuseppe, smiling broadly. stood
by as Prof. Bourg thus eulogized
him.
Il sing all the time" he said, but
this is first time anybody tell me
! sing good. Always 1 like to sing.
but everybody tell me: Shut up,
Giuseppe; you holler too muchv"
Argentine isn't fat, but he weighs
l9O pounds. lie IA six feet tall and
heavily built about the shoulders and
neck. He is twenty-eight years old
and has a wife and one daughter.
"Can Expand Eight Inches"
ITS his build" continued Prof.
Bourg, especially his throat, which
gives him his remarkable voice. Ca
ruso's chest expansion was five and
n half inches, but Argentine can ex-
pand eight inches, showing the lung
power which enables him 10 sustain
a phrase for along time, even longer
than the remarkably long time Caru-
so could sustain one"
Setting aside his flatiron. with
which he had been ironing the white
bosom OF an evening shirt, this ro-
bust tenor pitched high in impas-
stoned notes OF a Neapolitan love
song which rose above the cling
claug of laundry machinery and the
noises OF tho street.
High. clear notes welled from him
and filled the little laundry room,
floating out TO the street. His voice
a curious combination OF sweetness
and strength, scared TO high &C"
without apparent strain. There was,
however, a certain "harshness" I'm
the full-timborcd quality OF his notes.
Harshncss Due To Steam.
That's caused by the steam IN
the laundry" Prof, Bourg quickly
explained; ho doesn't have II on
days when he doesn't work. Oh, |
have no hosltancy In predicting that
he some time will succeed Caruso!"
Prof Bourg who discovered and
trained Joseph Aronstein, house
painter, who became a tenor with
the Boston opera company; Enrlco
AresOn, a tailor. who also became a
tenor with the Boston Opera COM
pany, and Bernard Olshanky, a bot
tie washer in the Essex Street Dis
pensary, who became barytone
with the Boston Opera company, be-
lieves his latest find" is the great
est OF them all. He also was the !
teacher Of Luca Botta.
SO certain Is Bourg OF tho powers |
OF Argentine that he has arranged |
