Abel regularization of an absolutely convergent Fourier series

Problem

Let (c_n)_{n∈ℤ} satisfy Σ_{n∈ℤ}|c_n|<∞, and define g(x)=Σ_{n∈ℤ}c_ne^{inx}. For 0≤r<1 define g_r(x)=Σ_{n∈ℤ}c_nr^{|n|}e^{inx}. Prove both series converge uniformly on ℝ, g and every g_r are continuous and 2π-periodic, and g_r→g uniformly as r↑1.

Hint

For every x and 0≤r≤1, |c_nr^{|n|}e^{inx}|≤|c_n|; the same majorant works for g and g_r.
