curtain, and were on our way.
When it 'came to the scene before
the courtiers the one I had rehears-
ed with the c or eters, I did it a lit-
tle different from what I hadbeen
doing it. I got ,a break at the start.
The Ceprano had oneof these small,
throaty baritones; and when it came
to the place where I was to mock
him on "Gla" hai di nuovo, buffon," I
shot it back to him' just' the Way he
had given it to me, and it got a big
laugh. I had them then.
I chucked tone quality out the win-
dow then. The first part of the scene
I ahouted, talked, and whispered, till
I got to the place where they' slam;
med me back on my hunkers. Then
I remembered "Boheme." I came
crawling back, and plucked the hem
of Marullo's doublet, and gave them
tears. 1 sang it "dolce," and then
some. I opened every spigot there
was, and at the end of it I was flat
on the floor, hanging on to the high
F like my heart would break, and
finishing off like I could just barely
make myself do it:
There wasn't any pause 'then. The
first "braio" came like. a pistol shot
before I even got through, and then
they came from all over the house,
and the applause in a swelling roar.
I lay there, the 'heart bowed; down,
for a long time. It's , an enormous
house, the Hippodrome, and it takes
them longer to quiet down than: any
other . place on earth. The Gilda
came running on, then, and we did
'the duet, and the curtain came down,
Did I get- that call? I'm telling you
I did.
1 went to my dressing room, walk-
ed around, and was so excited I
couldn't even sit down. I wanted to
go out there and do it all over again.
It didn't seem two minutes before
they called me, and I went down for
the last at.
• The Glide, and I did the-etuff that
etarts it, and then went off, and Par-
• ma had it to himself for the "La Don-
na e Mobile." I think- I've -given: you
the idea by now that that dumb Ital-
ian is a pretty good tenor. He knock-
ed them over with it, and by the
time the Maddalena came on, and the
Gilda and I veent out again for the
quartette, we were in the home
There came a knock on the door,
and a little Italian in, a derby hat
came in and stood beside me where
I was at the table and began to talk
about how -some of my admirers stretch of one of those performances

These dealers •had their ups and

almost twisting it out by the roots

beside me, yelling at me •at the top
of her. lungs, and don't think' a color-
atura soprano can't put on a nice job
of plain and fancy cussing when she
'gets sore: The- stagehands were
.standing around, looking at •me as
though I was some leper that they
didn't dare touch. ' Outside, Schultz
was playing the introduction to the
stuff between the contralto and the
bass. He had. had to skip .five whole
pages. 1 just stood 'there, • twisting
at those iron, bars.
Somewhere off, I heard the fire door
slam and next 'thing 1 knew, Cecil
was there, her eyes big as saucers
with horror. She 'grShbed, hold of
me.
"You go out there and finish this
show, or I'll-"
"I can't!"
"You've got to! You've simply got
to. You went yellow! You went yel-
low out there, and you've got to go
back and liek them! You've got to!"
"Let me alone!"
"But what , are they going to do?
You. can't let them down like that!"
"I_ don't care what they do!"
"Leceierd, listen to me. They're

and your ,two kids -and you've got

"I • won't!" I'll never go out

They were playing my cue. She
took ;hold of me, tried .to pull me
away from the stairs, tried to throw
me on stage by main force. I hung
on. I hung on to that iron •like it
was a life raft. She looked at ine
and bit her Hp. I saw two tears jump
out of her eyes and run down her
face. She turned around and left
me.
I got to my dressing -room, locked
the door, and then I cracked: No
iron bars there to hold on to. I clench-
ed my teeth, my fists, my toes, and it
was no good. Here they came, those
awful hysterical sobs I 'had heard
coming out of Doris that day, and the
mare L fought them back, the worse
they got. 1 • knew the ttuth then,
knew why Cecil had at me
that night in Rochester, why Horn
had been so doubtful about me, and
'all the rest of it. I was no trouper,
and they knew it. I had; smoke, and
nothing else. But you ain't lick that
