ANOTHER CARUS0 SEEN
IN FRENCH POLICEMAN
Partisan Musical Critics Believe
They Have Find of Tenor
Who Holds to His Job.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, February 21.-French mu-
sical critics believe they have discov-
cred another Caruso in the person or
Policeman vors, who sang for the
first time Friday night at the Olym-
pic Theater before crowded house
The young singer Joined the police
force In 1914. He used to sing only
for his friends, but when, In 1922. a
singer in the Paris opera heard him,
he offered the young man free les
sons.
Policeman vors divides his time be-
tween hard study and an eighth
beat. Even now, after his evident
success, he Is unwilling to give up
his police Job, because you never
know what may happen and 1t would
be difficult to get into the police force
again IL you once left it.
His musical knowledge Is limited,
but he has managed to learn seven
title roles of light operas, and his
wonderfully crystalline voice COM
pensates for his lack of musical edu-
cation. However, until some man
ager is willing to give him q remu-
nerative contract, he will continue to
direct traffic at the Place de LOpera.
