...phases of the art of singing, and his legate work, his use of the portamento, and his planissimo are unexcelled today. Although he could easily do so, he never commits the sin which the French call "chantant pour la galerie"; when the composer has written a low note Challiapin doesn't take a high one for the sake of a little more applause. In this he differs from most contemporary singers, especially tenors. His forte work is, of course, remarkable; and his climaxes, always beautifully executed, are memorable.

In addition, a Moslem can kill, assault, rob, and injure a Christian in any manner he pleases because this doesn't constitute a crime in Turkey. With prospects like these any man fortunate enough to be born a Turk is indeed lucky, provided of course that he can find a Christian on whom to practice the pastimes the Koran neglects to forbid. But the Christian in the case, or anywhere in the neighborhood gets...
