Release, scheduled for 20 October 1918, was delayed because of the influenza epidemic.
Includes footage of Caruso as Canio in "Pagliacci" in a performance at the old Metropolitan Opera House which stood at Broadway and 39th Streets.
Caruso's skills as a caricaturist are displayed in the Galeotto restaurant scene when he quickly does a sketch on the back of his bill of two men slurping their spaghetti.
