50 . VICTOR RED SEAL RECORDS ENRICO CARUSO Tenor Caruso’s success is the greatest ever attained by an artist in this country. His American engagements have been a continuous ovation, the great audiences being held spell-bound by the exquisite refinement and beauty of his voice. The annual appearance of new records by this artist is always one of the most important events of the musical season. While the famous tenor can sing to but a very few of the music lovers of the world in person, by means of his Victor records his audiences become uncountable and immeasurable. In our own country, where he is — the most talked about of all the artists who ever sang here: in Mexico and those countries in CARUSO South America where Caruso has never appeared, but is already a favorite through his records; throughout Europe, in many of whose cities he was first heard through the Victor; in India, China, Australia, and even in the interior of Africa— everywhere these perfect records will go, carrying the actual voice of the singer, with every one of its lovely qualities reproduced tc the minutest detail.
