high school auditorium is one of the few men who have ever been nam ed by circumstances his name was thrust upon him by an irate italian magistrate who believed that he was a french tenor italian music lovers were particularly prejudiced against anything from french tenors to french vanilla ice cream to sing la traviata consequently when one day the municipal opera house of bologna displayed the announcement that joseph benton would make his debut in the leading tenor role of la traviata there was quite a stir in official circles young ben ton was ordered to appear before the mayor there to undergo a close cross-examination accusa tions were hurled at him in excited italian he was a frenchman — his name was bongtong giving the american name a french twist he would not be permitted to sing before an italian public ..." but no bentonelli tried to make himself heard above the din while eyes glared and mustaches bristled i am an american here is my passport for proof there was a moment's hush then the magistrate said very well you may sing but you must first change your name so that it sounds italian and because for the ensuing 11 years the young tenor enjoyed such success in opera throughout europe under the name of ben tonelli he was advised to retain the name when in 1934 he was signed for the chicago civic opera company dick bishop lehigh university brown and white
