EDISON Disc CHARMS
CAPE MUSIC EXPERT
VIM. Vedder Returns From
st. Louis Test delighted
With Records

William Vedder, who went to St
Louis Thursday to attend the tone
test of the Edison Diamond PhOno-
graph at the Victoria Theater, adj
vises that only about one-half the
people who tried to gain admittance
to the theater to hear the tone test
were able to do so. Every seat and
every inch of standing room was tax
en- long before the time set for the
test to begin.
When the time for the test came
Miss Elizabeth Spencer, the noted So
prano, took her place on the stage at
the side of the Edison Disc Phono-
graph. Everything was so quiet the
dropping of a pin could be heard;
everyone anxious to hear the difference
between the record and Miss Spencer's
voice.
The first song rendered was Joce-
lyn's Lullaby. The monograph was
started and part Of the record played
before Miss Spencer began to sing.
For a time she would sing in unison
with the record, then again would stop
and let the record play alone. The only
difference that could be noted was a
louder sound when she sang At the
end of the song the audience applaud
ed for at least five minutes. Miss
spencer again sang, but without the
monograph. Then the photograph
was played alone, but no difference
could be noted.
Prof. Kauf of the Symphony Orches-
ira then appeared and played his VIC
lin, alternating with the record, play
ing Meditation" by That's, which was
greatfuly enjoyed by the audience.
Mr.. Vedder says if there was ever
a doubt in his mind that the music
as played by the Edison Diamond Disc
Photograph was not exactly repro
duced, with al 1.-The Overtones and the
exact likeness of the voice ringing
when the record was recorded, it has
disappeared now, for as Missourian,
he "has been shown"
