REAL ARTISTS
SING AND PLAY
Edison Tone-Test Recital Wonder
full Demonstration and En-
joyable Musical Event

1t was to be expected that when
the Edison company sent out troupe
Of musicians about the country to
give free concerts to demonstrate the
fine sOund-reproducin qualities and
wonderful perfection of the New Edi-
son, they would not, nor could they
afford to, employ any but reputed and
high ranking talent; but little did the
big audience which packed the Will
mar Opera House last Thursday
evening to listen to the tone-test
demonstration, expect to hear one of
er heard in our city. Miss Amy FL
lerman, contralto; Calvin Cox, tenor,
Gin duets); the Fleming Sisters,
musicians, and the New Edison
were simply great and Messrs. Nord-
strom & Wahlstrand of the Edison
Shop are to be congratulated on
bringing this entertainment to Will
mar, and are due vote of thanks
from every person who was fortunate
enough to secure ticket.
Not one Miss Ellerman but two sang
to the spell-bound audience; and the
instrumental selections were played
by two Fleming Sisters Trio. This
phenomenon was accomplished by
means of a graceful cabinet, which
stood on the stage beside the artists
and matched their performances
note for note and tone for tone.
In the midst of Miss Ellerman's in
itial number on the program, her lips
ceased to move, but her song went
on. Slowly it dawned on the aston
ish adj au1ionco that tho rf;ct xr,oe ~
longer singing, tho her voice came
forth to them as clear and sweet as
before: Again, she sang, and the
audience only knew it was the living
Miss Ellerman, because of the motor
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1920-05-05

of her lips. Her lips ceased-but her
voice continued.
After the applause which followed
ing Sisters Trio shared the stage with
their fellow musician, the New Edi-
son. And they played in unison with
the RECREATION Of their art. Only
by watching them could one know
when they, the living artists were
being heard alone and when their
music came in double measure. The
instrumental RECREATION was as
perfect as that of Miss Ellerman's de-
lightful voice.
The climax Of the Miracle Con-
cert game with the darkening of the
room during one of Miss Ellermans
selections. The audience depended
upon it's powers of hearing alone in
determining whether her voice came
in double volume or only from the
New Edison.
At first everyone doubted his own
ability to judge, but as her previous
proofs were forgotten in the spell of
the song, they became more and more
convinced that no instrument could
sing as this voice was singing, and
that Miss Ellerman was making no
more breaks in her own performance.
Suddenly the lights were snapped
on The audience was astonished to
discover that Miss Ellerman was not
there at all and that the New Edison
had furnished the song alone.
