L. Fontenay + scital

4 Tie Christian church, filled TO ca
pacity, was the scene of most unique
recital last evening, when Madame
Odette LIE, Fontenay, the celebrated
soprano Of the Metropolitan Opera
Co, assisted by Miss Virginia Powell,
violinist, were presented by Doty and
Peterson.
The indisputable fact that the Fho-s
nograph can perfectly reproduce ar
tistic vocal and Instrumental music
was graphically demonstrated 70 the
music lovers of Missouri Valley.
Madame LIE Fontenay and Thomas
A. Edison's new monograph, beth
sang. They sang in unison, then the
singer ceased, but her beautiful voice
continued to fill the church auditor
jun. Again she joined her voice with
it's photographic Recreation and
again grew silent.
The ear could not tell when it was
listening to the photograph alone,
and when to actual voice and repro
duction together. Only the eye could
discovar the truth by noting when
the singers mouth was open o. closed.
The same marvellous illusion was crea-
ted when Miss Powell, violinist, played
internationally with Photographic Re-
Creation of violin solo.
The eyes Of the audience saw the
bow sweep the strings, then drop to
the performers side; but their ears
could distinguish no difference in the
continuous flood of melody.
While rendering, Yesterday lne
Today" the lights were turned Out
and Madame LIE Fontenay ceased sing
ing. Yet the. audience found it i'm
possible to tell whether she OF tn.
instrument were continuing.
The last number on the program
'@The Star Spangled Banner," wa.
most beautifully rendered as due
by Madame lie Fontenay and tn
photographic Re Creation Of tn
voice of Thomas Chalmers.
The problem of music in the hom
is solved when the singing Of tn
greatest artists is mad, possible b.
an instrument,
