" Mr. Cunningham sing-s with magnificent style and with 

 a command which immediately impresses his audience with 

 the intellectuality of his delivery. His work here has placed 

 him among the foremost in the profession."— iV«w 2ork World. 



"Mr. Cunningham is the possessor, not only of a large 

 and well-placed voice of sympathetic quality and consider- 

 able range, but of that soulful temperament requisite to 

 artistic work. This statement is verified by his artistic 

 rendition of In Memoriam, by Liza Lehmann, words from

 merited."— Co«c(?fi Goer, July, iqoo.

 Claude A. Cunningham, of Chicago, was heard with delight. 

 His big basso-cantante voice is rich and of extended compass, 

 and he sang, 'Is Not His Word Like a Fire,' with a nimble-

 a rare treat to all who heard them.'"— IVoodsloci (111.) Republican, April, iqoo.
