Actual Voice and the
New Edison are the Same
npO HEAR a magnificent voice on the
stage of the Metropolitan Opera
House is one thing. To hear the same
voice imitated on the talking machine
or common type of phonograph is quite
another thing. But to hear that voice
and to hear it Re-Created on The
New Edison "The Phonograph with
a Soul" is exactly the same thing.
For, as the famous tone tests have
proved, the living voice and its Re-'
Creation on this instrument are indistinguishable.
