If you had not done it you would have been a real monkey. So study well and you will see that you’ll become a real canary instead, which it will be a pleasure to hear singing. I am here working hard trying to keep up with both houses. It is really hard.” Double-matted and framed with a portrait of Caruso in costume to an overall size of 23.25 x 13.25.
