Miss Anna Fuller, the talented and ac-
complished soprano, is to be heard in con-
cert at the Los Angeles theater on Monday
evening, the 18th instant. During the
last six years Miss Fuller has devoted her
self to the highest development of her fine
voice with the enlightened zeal of true
lover of music. A native of Maryland, her
rich voice early attracted attention; for
several years she was first soprano at st.
Stephens church, Philadelphia. which DO.
sition she resigned to go to Italy to study
under Vannucini at Florence. Subse.
quently Randeg0er of London, Nine. Ar.
tot of Berlin, where Miss Fuller made a
very successful debut before the Berlin
Philharmonic society, Nine. de Ia Grange
of Paris and Toerslef of Leipsic, under
took the cultivation of her powers. During
last summer and fall Miss Fuller sang in
a series of grand concerts in London with
great success and in other musical centers
of both England and Germany won the
highest praise from the critics. The Mu-
sical Courier said of Miss Fuller last No.
vember: ''She is most thorourhIy
equipped for the career she has chosen
and her progress will be watched with in.
terest." While an ardent student of Wap-
ner and gifted with sufficiently grand
voice to interpret the Meister's works,
Miss Fuller can sing simple ballad or a
plantation melody very charmingly, and
her concert, when no doubt she will give
proofs of ler versatility, will be q distinct
musical event.
