Startlingly novel even in this age OF

that drew $500 persons TO Carnegie

Alone on the vast stage there stood a
mahogany photograph, apparently ex-
actly like the tanned and domesticated
variety. that has become TO be as much

lungs, with exactly the same accent
and intonation, even stopping TO take
a breath in unison with the prima

Audience Guesses on Voices.
Occasionally the singer would stop
and the photograph carried on the
air alone. When the mechanical voice
ended Nine. Rappold sang. The fss-
cination for the audience lay in guess

ograph was at work. or whether they
were singing together
