(Special.) ll Speculations are running high and wide in regard to the sub ject which will bring Caruso, that world-wide favorite, onto the screen. Those who know the great tenor "off the stage" feel that there are many sides to his nature which would lend themselves not only aa the subject of a picture' but as a personality which .should be immortalized so far as the screen can do it. as much as his voice hould be preserved for the edification of future generations. Were the subject to be a humorous cne. Caruso would not be acting if he should reach the top rung of merri ment, diablerie and jollification. He has a fount of sheer fun which bubble over like a laughing brook babbles and sparkles as it runs along. His merri ment is not only sparkling, but it has the quality of innocence like that of a child. Anything Is enouph to become a toy for the moment. He can move thousands of people to screams of jaugnter wun a string that he may pluck from the coat of his neighbor, or he may induce this jollity without moving a muscle.' une late Mark Twain used to say that the most tragic phase of his life was that his mere presence on the stage was the signal for laughter and the more serious he actually felt and actually looked the more hysterically Iiis audience giggled and finally burst Into roars of laughter. Caruso fre quently brings this to mind and wheth er it is because those who know him have learned to believe that he is si ways on the edge of a laugh, and al ways waiting to perpetrate something. er whether he is a consummate actor and plans -deliberately to be the "man off stage," who can say? Caruso's geniality has rare and orig inal phases. Many who rarely see him feel that they know him well. A, look In his eye which seems to say. "We understand each other perfectly you .and I." keeps warm a friendly feeling which may extend over years, even though meetings may be rare. He has a warm, lovable nature and a tender manner which wins those content merely to watch him in his contact with others. But Caruso is not acting when children are around. To them he gives himself just as he is great and big, tender, full of the noblest charac teristics which can endear men to their fellow beiags. Singer Intensely Himu. So he is in the presence of suffer ing. Nothing is too much for him to do or to give, and what he gives is made the more worth while by the feel ing of human love which goes with It. It is this true psychological equipment, the make-up of the man with no rela tion to stage tactics or acting, that makes us weep over the reality of his Ies Grieux. his Rodolfo. his Canio. Xhat Is Caruso.- A clown, if you will. eager, ready to give all that he has to amuse his public, proclaiming from the stage that his mission is to make you laugh, but at heart how human! What a real man who knows how to suffer, bow to avenge! How all-encompassing is the range of his emotions and how completely himself is every phase of his stage life! We who have watched him develop during the past years that fate has been kind enough to the opera goers to lend him to New York re prone to remark that he has grown to be a great actor. How much better and truer it would be to recognize that witn each advancing year Caruso has become technically better able to ex press himself, and that "self" is one enhanced by the richness of the experi ences of a life full to the brim with joys and sorrows, with struggle and achievement, with disappointments and successes. The stage holds no imper sonation In which Caruso ts a stranger. He knows the Btruggle from poverty. to opulence, from oblivion--to the strongest limelight in the world, and we do not need to be told his romances, for may we not read them as he un bosoms himself in Don Jose. Rodolfo, Alfredo, even in his all too short pos session' of "Johnson"? These are pic tures of Caruso and rhe superb quali ties with which the great Italian in vests them represent the greatest thing that a man has to give himself. It is not unlikely that the picture will be called "My Cousin Caruse," and it is further likely that he will live his own life as It was, is and, let us- hope, ever shall be. Carolina White has been engaged to play the leading woman role. 25 . Years. and others of his friends and colleagues had signed it there would be no harm for him to do so too. In some way, however, he discovered a few weeks later, and then it was that he ex pressed the deepest gratitude for what was contemplated, but . still, greater gratification in having it discontinued. True, he might have allowed it to go on and given it in cash to one of his countless war charities, but before the Summer with its' oppressive and exhausting, heat will be over he will have done, something nAt only for the war work -of America but of Italy as well. He will have made a moving picture out of which it is calculated that he will only clear about J65.00.0 the rest of $365,000 will have gone into the taxation of his profits for-America and .Italy. . So it is estimated by one supposed to understand. , Ob Stage It Is-only now beginning to leak out that when next season ' will open it will mark Caruso's 25th anniversary on the stage. The reason it was kept quiet' was because each of his friends who had been given the opportunity had subscribed one dollar for the pur chase of a silver loving cup to be pre sented to him on his first appearance of the season. A strange and humor ous incident revealed to the great tenor what was contemplated, and he forth with made the statement that under no circumstances would he receive a tes timonial of this sort in a year when the money was so much needed ' for war financing and for war charities. When the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Gtulio Crimi was christened, G. Vlafora was besieged to accept contributions from friends and admirers of the sing er, and dollars were pouring In. upon him as Caruso entered. With that quick perception he asked what con tribution was under way, and In some thing of a bantering manner, he was asked to put himself down for a dollar, which he did. but just after he had done it he began to Insist upon know ing what he had signed and for whom It was Intended.. He was told that as well as all those people including Galli-Curci, . Amato,. iioraazoni. ." Crimi 1 Women Doing Work Well The trend of women into the divers occupations formerly held by men seems from the present outlook to have been almost providential, because a large proportion of them who are being drafted into the army of workers are well equipped for their duties.- It re mains - for the public to give proper consideration for the women who are doing the work of men. and in the case in point, those in search of accom panists and coaches will not suffer. Most of the younger nen who have been noted In this field have gone to the front or into some sort of Army service and the older men are either joining the ranks of the T. M. C. A. forces or they are acting as song lead ers, whfch calling has become known as one of the most, necessary of the military tactics. Needless at this mo ment to 'expatiate upon what the song has meant to the soldiers, or to indi cate how music has been the greatest and frequently ' the sole recreation to build and rebuild soul and body, That the accompanists have been the first to desert Oieir musical life for the call to duty is natural in nnint o the fact that they are for the greater part young men in the draft and mili tary age, and inasmuch as their musi cal work can be done by women it is not-likely to be held a necessity. This country is. provided with an extraor dinary number of very fine youhg women pianists. They number not only In the hundreds, but thousands have spent their best years In the different musical centers of Europe to equip themselves as concert pianists and the griefs amounting almost to tragedies which they have experienced upon their return' to their own country to learn that there was no field for concert pianists other than such as Harold Bauer, Gabrildwltsch, Joseph Hofman, Augusta Cottlow and people of that class are well known. Many of- these fine pianists have not even been ac corded the position as teachers which they have deserved and have been con fronted even In this field with the which If it does not come rroifl me upil comes from thei parent. That this is on the verge of change is not to be doubted, but it snoum not ome throueh the shortage or men ana the presence of women to replace them; it should come because the people are awakening to the fact that the women are entirely as capable as men, and in most cases very much better equipped to be teachers. There are many open posts today where vocal departments are in "search of men to head them. There are few men available, and those who may be found are likely to be called from their occupations to do other and more necessary work. More necessary merely because women can replace them with very great credit to their sex as well as to their calling. not because their work is non-essential, as every detail of the musical rela tion to the war history will reveal. further information may apply to Mrs. Alen Cutler, East 6554. londay evening the Laurelhurst Club will hold its regular monthly guest night dancing party at Cotillion Hall. Members are allowed the privi lege of issuing invitations. YVEDDIXGS. Too Early to Predict. It is a little early to predict that the orchestras will be called upon to enroll women among their players, but it is reasonable to sappose that this is not far away, because- already three string quartettes may be named that oner serious rivalry to any of the represen tative organizations of the sterner sex. The Elsa Fischer quartette that is to open the busiest season in its career, the new quartette just organlzea by May Mukle with her colleagues, te becca Clark, viola: Marie Caslova, vio lin, and Ethel Cave Cole, piano, may easily challenge comparisons with any similar organization for quality, and the Olive Mead Quartette, as remem bered, are significant of this. Nor is it unreasonable to expect capable women to assume the position of chorus directors and conductors. They have the musicianship and it Is certain that many men undertake tne worn wnn- out knowing more about the technic of conducting than do women who would be just as clever in acquiring the art as are men. To realize this one need only to have seen KIttv Cheatham direct some oi the community singing a few nights ago at Columbia University, where fc.d win Franko Goldman was offering one of his famous band concerts. Miss Cheatham, who is to the manner born, as entertainer proved quite as emphatic and convincing as conductor, revealing as she did a strong sense of rhythm the power to impart it to others and a genial personality that permeated everybody. Summing up the situation there will be a great number of admiraDiy equipped women ready to fill every vacancy, whether as teacher, accom panist, coach, ensemble player, able to meet the needs to the best standards already laid down by favorite men in these fields. But It will rest with the public to understand and accept thi fact. . SOCIETY (Continued From Paice 4.) lng forward with delight to the day in the country as the .guests of the Knights.
