He arose but instead of singing, delivered a brief address on his life. "Sing, sing!" shouted the bad actors. Chaliapin drew a charcoal cartoon of himself which amused his audience but did not stop their demands for song. Chaliapin rose a third time, went through the motions of an aria, puffing his chest, swinging his arms, opening and shutting his mouth like a large Russian goldfish, without making a sound.
