AMERICAN PUPIL
fine SINGER
ROMEO FENTON SURPRISES
OLD TIME SINGERS
WILL PROBABLY GO ABROAD
Melody Flows From Him-He Has
A Most Natural
Voice.
WILL PROBABLY GO ABROAD

New York, Dec. AT the Metro
politan opera house singing school
there is a young American pupil, and
neither Heinrich Copried, manager
Of the opera-house, nor Nine. Jaeger
director of the school, will be great
y surprised if in a few years the
world recognizes the pupil as the
greatest tenor of the time.
The voice belongs to a husky, hand
some boy of nineteen, Romeo Fen
ton. He comes from Saratoga. The
lads brief history reads like fiction
rather than fact. He is the son and
grandson of a blacksmith. His moth
err is a devoted woman and an excel
lent housewife. e
Has No Musical Ancestry. ..
So far as any one knows, the boy
harks back to no musical genius.
When he reached high school he
caught the attention of the singing
master and became the show boy sim
ger at the school entertainments.
He grew rapidly and in childhood
his bulk distributed itself over big
frame. He stands six feet in his
socks, has shoulders as broad as Pol
Piancon, and chest as deep as Edo
uard de Reszke. He has big, deep
blue eyes, wavy brown hair, and a
complexion Of the kind women some
times try to buy in the shops.
May Go Abroad to Study.
If he attends to business and
doesn't get a swelled head, he will
probably be chosen as one Of the six
or eight picked from the school each
spring to 60 abroad with Nine. Jaa-
ger, visiting France, Italy and Ger
many, and spending the summer in
study at Nine. Jaager's home in the
Austrian Tyrol.
Melody Flows From Him.
Nine. Jaager's son said about
young Fenton:
"The boy has an unusual voice. It
is most natural young voice and of
beautiful quality. When he opens
his mouth a stream of melody seems
to flow from his throat. He sings B
nat now, and is sure to go above high
c with training, and that note is as
high as the greatest tenors sing. I
have known the beginnings of some
of the greatest tenors, and young
Fenton has a much better voice to
begin with than they.
-.. Has No Singing Faults.
eft is literally true that he starts
with no bad singing faults. If he
keeps his head and devotes himself
70 hard, conscientious, intelligent
work, he has great future. But all
he singing possibilities of the fu-
lure do not appeal much to the boys
father. When anything like a career
s mentioned to him he replies =
tThat's all very we'll. The boy can |
ry it for a while down there in New
FORK, but the place for him is at
ZONE.
