Cllea, Giordano, Franchetti and
many other composers drew upon
him for plots and lines.
Although lllica was 58 years old
when Italy entered the great war, he
volunteered for service and was with
the artillery for one year. He suffer
ed a fall from which he did not fully
recover and was forced to give up
military duty.
His latest important opera score
was that of Isabeau, for which Mas
cagnl supplied the music. The opera
told the story of Lady Godiva and

"Statistics show that most ot the

I "There appears to be a popular
misconception as to the number of
