Marie Kaiser and Her PhOnO-
graphic Double Score Hit

Wednesday night an audience at the
Normal School auditorium was treated
to an interesting contest between a
famous artist and her Edison records.
Miss Marie Kaiser, the noted soprano,
demonstrated how thoroughly Edison
has made it possible to reproduce
music with a naturalness that is posi-
lively fascinating. Just how success
full is that recreation of the human
voice was well illustrated when Miss
Kaiser sang duet with herself. It
was impossible to distinguish between
Miss Kaiser's voice and her Edison rec
ord.
This tone test, as the inventor calls
it, was a unique and artistic per-
Torrance as the music lovers Of Minot
have ever enjoyed. The occasion was
more than musicale, more than
charming; it was planned to illustrate
what Thomas A. Edison has long
claimed: that he reproduces music so
true to the original that the singers
voices cannot be distinguished from his
recreation of it. The new Edison is
truly remarkable instrument
When Miss Kaiser sang in compari-
son with her photograph record of the
same selection, practically no differ
ence could be detected between the
two voices. The audience composed of
the most cultured musicians, could not
detect the voice. of the singer from that
which issued from the Edison Phono-
graph. And when the room was dark
ened, so that the audience could not
watch Miss Kaiser's lips to tell when
the instrument was playing or when
Miss Kaiser was singing. In this dark
ness detection was impossible and the
actual voice and it's Photographic re-
production were impossible of distinc-
ton.
