bringing out her fine contralto, and her
progress was extremely gratifying ana
so marked that she received the honor

Maine musicians. OF all the Young
American singers few, if any, have So
rapidly advanced TO the front rank Of
song reciters as Cecil flaming, who has
attained great success in his art DESPITE
the fact that he is still in his early
tNcnties. Though ar indefatigabla
worker, his career has been made easy
for him from the start by the
great beauty Of his voice, his
personality and his unusual tenn
peramental gifts. His repertoire
is most extensive, as he sings
from memory hundreds of compositions,
which embrace the best of German,
Italian, French. and English songs.
From his first hearing Mr.. Fanning's
appearances have been series Of
txiumphs. and in no city where he has
eung has he failed to Immediately SCI
-cure return engagements, and at each
temperance he is received with great
er enthusiasm. One critic in speaking
of Mr.. Fanning's work says: THE
maturity Of his art is simply astound-
ing. In his singing it matters not
whether it be the simple ballad or folk
song or a selection from one of the old
masters. he displays an interpretive in
sight which is remarkable. \ thorough
knowledge of French. German and
Italian. combined with a memory such
az is seldom seen. has made it POSSIBLE
for him to acquire n large repertoire
one equaled by few vocaliSts. And MT.
Tanning. despite the success when ne
has attained. sings in iall unaffected
manner. which goes much toward WIN
ming the good will Of his hearers
