Tb celebrated Impresario Schur mann said It waa a precarious matter to draw up an agreement with a star, for each on bad aome Strang little proviso which he Insisted on Insert ing. In one contract Tamagno exacted that he should be allowed thirty-seven candles each night In bla dressing room. Schumann was amazed that even a great tenor should require so much illumination, but be consented. 'When Schumann visited Tamagno's dressing room ha found only two can dle alight On another occasion be discovered only one. Inquiries led to tb discovery that the provident tenor saved up the other candles and sold tbem at a profit Schurmann said that a small boy wboe father was a great friend of Caruso's, having asked tb tenor for a signed photograph, received as a reply, "Certainly; go to my photographer; be will sell you a photograph, and if you bring that to me I will write on It whatever you like." A great feminine star mad a stipu lation that all her baggage be carried at tba company's expense, duty free. Somewhat to the surprise of the Im presario, the lady, whose wardrobe was not extensive, carried about with ber a great number of enormous, heavy boxes.
