NY Times March 1, 1912, BEAR SCARES ALFRED HERTZ. Chases Metropolitan Opera Conductor Across the Stage. The baby brown bear which is to play a part in Horatio Parker's "Mona," at the Metropolitan Opera House, gave Alfred Hertz, who is to conduct the opera, a great fright yesterday. The bear was on a leash, which was held by Albert Reiss, who sings a part in the opera, when Mr. Hertz approached to give a bit of advice about what was to be done with the bear. The animal made a lunge at Mr. Hertz and broke away from the leash. The conductor fled precipitately across the stage, pursued by the bear, which finally, however, submitted to capture.
