her listeners were sure of the treal
In store for them. Miss Lucille COZ
lette announced that she would rem

a recreation of her own violin on the
new Edison which stood upon the
platform. Miss Clark's voice and the
voice from the mahogany cabinet be-
side her came indistinguishably
blended-the two voices so completely
one that no ear could detect their
duality. Suddenly Miss Clark's lips
had ceased to move. though her voice
went gloriously on. She sang again
and again stopped. Only by watching
| her lips could it be told whether her
voice came, from her throat or from
| the magic box at her side Equal In

voice filled the room, literally recreated

half of the duet being q recreation OF
her playing of the selection on the

perfectly as they had those of Miss

continued when the artist ceased, and
no difference in tone was noted.
