MANY DECEIVED
Found 1T Impossible to Distinguish
Between Voice and Phonograph.

Found 1t Impossible to Distinguish
Between Voice and Phonograph.
The people of Ellsworth not only en-
joyed delightful concert last Wednesday
evening, but had an opportunity of
witnessing most interesting test -
comparison of the voice with it's re-
creation on phonograph.
Probably many who attended the
recital given by Miss Marie Morrisey and
Mr. Reddick at Hancock hall were at first
disappointed when they discovered
phonograph cabinet occupying the center
of the stage.
They hardly were reassured when
Mr.. Reddick appeared and commenced to
talk about reproduction, ssre-cre-
ation," and other like matter. 1t finally
became apparent that the phonograph
was at least to receive assistance from the
singer.
Mr.. Reddick explained that the purpose
| of the recital was to illustrate that
Thomas A. Edison, after years of york,
! had achieved his ideal to perfect a musical
create music so perfectly that the re-
creation would be indistinguishabl from
| the Original.
This was broad claim but it was es-
tablished before the evening was over, for
Miss Morrisey actually stood beside the
New Edison phonograph and sang in
| unison with the re- creation of her own
voice. She paused from time to time and
| permitted her re- created voice to be heard
alone. This gave an opportunity to COM
pare one with the other and it is no more
than just to state that there was no dis
cernible difference in tone quality. 1t was
| only by watching the singers lips that
| one could be sure when she sang and
when she did not
Mr.. Reddick offered similar comnarisons
with the piano playing in direct COM
parison with the recreation of his own
performance.
After Miss Morrisey had commenced
to sing one number the lights were turned
out-ostensibly so that the audience
could not watch the singers lips. 1t did
not seem difficult to determine in the
dark when the singer sang and when she
did not. Then the lights were turned on
again and it was discovered that Miss
Morrlsey was not on the stage at all and
that the New Edison alone had been
heard.
The recital was arranged by E. F. Rob-
inson, the Edison dealer in Ellsworth.

Mr.. LANSING ANNOUNCES
FAILURE OF IRISH EFFORT

PARIS. May 27.-Secretary Lansing
has written to Frank p. Walsh and
his fellow representatives of Irish or
CARNATIONS in the United States. ad-
vising them that it is impossible for
the American delegates to make any
further representations to secure
passports for Prof. de Valera and 9TH
er Irish Sim Fein leaders to present
the Irish cause before the peace con-
ference.
Secretary Lansing's note to the rep
resentatives of the Irish organizations
states that Mr.. Walsh and his asso-
ciates made speeches during their
visit in Ireland considered SO offensive
by British officials that it was impos-
sible for the American representatives
to do anything further.
Mr.. Walsh replied to Secretary
Lansing in a long letter, in which he
said:
I'VE beg to advise you that no per-
son was authorized by US to make any
effort to bring us into friendly rela-
tions with the British representa-
tives.
Mr. Walsh insisted that all dealings
with Secretary Lansing were official,
as American citizens are not "un-
Official"
