I had to smile reading on page 32 that for Christmas Caruso gave 20-dollar gold pieces to the 80 Metropolitan Opera orchestra members but the chorus members got only $2.50!

2.50 is still like 50 dollars in today's money.

While the gold pieces were about 400.00

Total outlay, the better part of fifty-thousand dollars? :o Generous guy, by most people's standards.
