What other phonograph
dares this test?
DID you ask some one about the Edison Tone-Test recital
given Friday evening, September 26th, in K. C. Hall?
The startled audience heard Mabelle Wagner Shank’s
living voice flood the packed house. It then heard the New
Edison* mach that voice, even unto its finest variation of
shading and feeling. It heard The Sokoloff Trio repeat the
experiment with their instrumental selections,—and again
the New Edison matched every quality of harmonized violin,
’cello and piano. Any one who was present will tell you.
The art of the living artist and
its RE-CREATION by the New
Edison can not be told apart.
It is no idle phrase that you can enjoy Case, Middleton,
Hempel, Matzenauer, Spalding—in your own home. The
New Edison brings all that the great artist can bring, except
his physical presence. It is the ‘phonographic triumph of the
age.
The NEW EDISON
“The Phonograph With a Soul”
Come in and hear this wonder for yourself—the Three Mil
lion Dollar Phonograph* that RE-CREATES the very soul
of music.
