WHAT EDISON PROMISES.

| one American scientist of this genera .
| ton whose name will live forever.
What he says commands attention.
Most of the promises he has made to
the public have been kept. When he
forctold the subdivision of the electric
light, and years dragged along before
he achieved success there were many
scoffers. He said nothing about the
monograph, the basis Of all talking
machines" until he produced It before
an astonished world.
In a statement issued yesterday, the
Wizard Of Llcwcllyn Park'--he isn't
at Menlo park any more predicts com
plcte triumph in his combined moving
picture and musical play. He will alb
solutely synchroniZe the movies and
the human voice. The moment that
is done grand opera, with the best
voices can be enjoyed nj the usual

recently heard Daniel F'rohman say
that the future possibilities of the
moving picture play were far beyond
present conception. IL will he recalled
that he gave u complete performance
OF The Prisoner of Zenda" at the
close of last season. and himself made

work was bad. but because, for the |

work again. He lost health on his re-
cent vacation,--Juiius Chambers i'm the
