 He sang with the company for several seasons at Sunday concerts and galas, on tour, and as Turiddu in Mascagni’s "Cavalleria Rusticana" in spring 1894.Guille felt his shortness of stature, 5 foot, 3 1/2 inches, had hampered his career, though he was known as "the little man with the big voice.” Impresario Henry Eugene Abbey who arranged his tours with Patti, told him once he would have given him $2,000 a performance had he been taller.Guille replied, “If I had been six feet tall instead of the midget that I am,” — even as tall as his five foot nine wife — “my voice would have gained me $1,000,000.” Even so, he said, “I have made lots of money in my day,” $2,000 a month plus expenses touring internationally with Patti, up to $3,000 in his last US years with her.
