(19) Is That You Caruso Dear? One week before the opening night of the 1906-07 season at the Metropolitan Opera, in which Caruso was schedule to appear in Romeo et Juliette, he was accused of playing Romeo with a woman in Central Park. Mrs. Hannah Stanhope accused Caruso of "improper advances" in the monkey house. He had apparently pinched her. The case went to court; and even though Mrs. Stanhope never appeared, Caruso was neverthless fined for the episode. This delightful postcard was evidently produced in response to the incident and needs no explanation!
