ThitErsday night's anndieriice mystified
Tries vainly to delect difference between voice of famous soprano
and RE-CREATION by Edison's new phonograph
Thursday at The Parmele by Thomas A.
Edison. He sought to prove that no differ
ence exists between the voice of the living
artist and its RE-CREATION by the New
Edison. The musically cultured of Platts
mouth were invited to pass judgment. No
test could have been more exacting.
Mme. Le Fontenay made comparison af
ter comparison. The mystified audience
tried vainly to catch a difference between
the original rendition and its RE-CREATION
by the New Edison. No one could
tell one from the other.
It was a triumph whole and complete for
the New Edison.
Those present at The Parmele Thursday
night saw Odette Le Fontenay walk onto
the stage. The7 saw her take her position
next to a beautiful cabinet. They saw her
lips give voice to the opening lines of The
Swallows. Then suddenly her lips were
still but the song kept flowing on.
How came this? They were hearing
Mme. Le Fontenay 's voice, yet Mm. Le
Fontenay was not singing. The entire au
dience gasped as it slowly realizee that it
had been unable to distinguish between
Mme. LeFontenay's voice and the RE
CREATION of that voice by the New Edi-
son.
This was the daring test undertaken last
one

SON
The Phonograph With a Soul

The instrument used in last night's Tone-Test is the regular
model which sells for $285 (in Canada, $431). It is an exact
duplicate of the Laboratory Model which Mr. Edison perfected
after spending Three Million Dollars in experiments.
The Jew Edison alone of all phonographs is capable of sus.
taining the test. Until Mr. Edison knew it would do so, he re
garded his work as unfinished.
Ask some one who was present last night. Learn the amaz
ing truth. Then come in some time and let us prove it perso n
ally to you.
