There are now singing In New York twelve grand opera artists whose wealth agregates more than $12,000.- 600. The list is headed by Mme. Nel- iie Melba, whose salary of $3,000 a high! Is the highest In the profession, ilthough Caruso is making a desper ate effort to equal It next season. Mme. Melba’s fortune is conservative ly estimated at $4,000,000 or $5,000,000. three-fourths of which Is said to be invested in rare gems, of which she has a remarkable collection. Emedeo Fassi. the Italian tenor. Is believed to he worth at least $2,000 000. and Mme. Scmbrich accounts for $1,500,000 more. The remaining $4,500,000 or $5,000,000 Is divided among a number of less prominent lights In the oper atic firmament, like Mario Ancona and Mario Sammarco, the Italian bari tones: Mme. De Cisneros, who enjoys the unique distinction of being a na tive American: and Senors Caruso and Bond. Whatever the American dramatic star may be, and usually, in spite of a high salary, he has to bor row money to get through the sum mer, the European star is frugal be yond the point where appearances must be kept up for their advertising value. There Is not a star at either the Manhattan or Metropolitan opera house this season who could not afford a steam yacht or the finest private car ever set upon wheels: but real estate and Government bonds seem to be more popular forms of invest ment among the members of the pro fession. * * • Going Abroad.
