his life he was nicknamed Pat, and
the Irish cognomen stuck.

the cold expanse of Russia, meeting
hardship, knowing privation and feel
ing hunger. One day Moscow mer-
chant heard the sorrowing strains of
his. deep resonant voice and at once
arranged for his public appearance.

day. until. in a period of 25 years
Chalapin has risen to greatness.
