Through Local Edison Dealers
Miss Verlet and Soloists
Provide Entertainment

That Thomas A. Edison has devised
phonograph that reproduces a voice
or tone SO nearly identical that hear
ers cannot distinguish between the re-
production and the voice, was demon
strated to the satisfaction of an aud
ience of eight hundred at the Odd Eel
lows hall last Monday evening
Miss Alice Verlet, Belgian coloratura
soprano, formerly with the Paris
Opera company, Mr.. Robert Velten
violinist and Mr.. Victor Young, plan
list were the soloists. In the reproduc-
tions voice and violin separately and
in duet accompanied the records. Miss
Verlet naturally, modulated her voice
to the volume Of the photograph. but
Mr. Velten the violinist played without
mute The tones in each test were so
nearly exact that no distinction could
be heard. At intervals the artists
would stop, then take up the melody.
The climax of evenings entertain
ment came when the room was darken-
ed in the middle of one of Miss Yer
let's selections, and the listeners We're
left with no means but their ears of
determining when the living Miss Yer
let was singing and when she was not.
At first everyone doubted his own
ability to judge, but as the 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 Verlet was making no more
pauses in her own performance. Sud
denly the lights were snapped on. The
audience was astonished to discover
that Miss Verlet was not there at all
and that the New Edison had furnish
ed the song alone Such miracles are
| indeed the work of magician.
