coined by many who will wish to

as a concert vocalist when his health
compelled him to give up music fol-
railroading. After an operation he
completely regained his voice and is
now resuming his interrupted life
work. His standing in the musical
world is shown by such notices as
these: Denver News-"Big Denver

voice."
