 That Thomas 4. Edison, the inc yentivs wizard. has at last mastered voice was beautifully demonstrated Wednesday night at recital in Eden theatre given under the auspices of the Piainfield Bowling Green club.
 Tne recital as 2 whole was start hngly novel as well as instructive and the large audience left the hall amazed at the great possihil itias flor entertain ment which was demonsfra1ed by the selections given upon the Edison dia- nfond disc phonograph.
 The entertainment opened with a three-reel picture entitled Voice of the Violin. This Is one of the great pho- todranas in point of artistic merit of recent production. It abounds in dra- matic situations and a. vein of pathos runs through 1t. On the whole, it is intensely human and absorbing.
 The story is that of young man with an artistic temperament and a | love for fine violins. Through the mis- representations of an older brother he has been driven from home. Later 1t develops that he was in the right, and l then begins a search for him which ends in his being discovered at work I in the Edison laboratories at Orange, I N. J. The final picture on the screen shows the famous Edison laboratory where the great wizard perfected the l Edison diamond disc photograph and MT, Edison Is shown as he is leaving l his laboratory in the only picture of the famous inventor ever taken for a moving picture screen.
 1 Following the picture play, Miss Elizabeth Lane of Norwich was heard | on the violin. Her selections were l Canto Amoroso, by G. sammartini, | and the AIinuet, by Beethoven. She was accompanied by Miss Olive Riley. | also of Norwidl. Miss Lane in her se- l lections showed a, mastery of the vio- lin, and her playing was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience.
 Then followed a number of vocal se- lectfons on the Edison diamond disc photograph, all being records made lections there was shown on the screen either the picture of the artist whose singing was being re-created or some-
 thing suggestive of the piece that was l being sung.
