THE EDISON RE- CREATION CONCERT.
Belfast music lovers were given rare
treat last Monday evening through the
courtesy of Fred D. Jones, when Miss
Marie Tiffany, soprano, of the Metropoi-
tan Opera Co., assisted by Chester Gay
lor, pianist, gave an excellent concert at
the Colonial Theatre with the New Edison
playing the re- creation of her voice. MIR.
Gaylor introduced the numbers and de-
scribed the model of phonograph used,
which is exactly the same model as one
Mr.. Jones carries in stock. Miss Tiffany
captured the audience with her charming
personality and her clear sweet voice,
which was exactly reproduced in every
detail on the phonograph. At intervals
Miss Tiffany would pause and allow the
instrument to continue the song of which
the audience was made aware only by
close watch of her lips. A fuller recog-
milton of the perfection of the Edison re-
creation was brought about in her second
number, when the lights were turned off
for few minutes and being turned on
again the audience were greatly surprised
to find she had left the stage and the full
volume of music was from the nstru-
ment. Mr.. Gaylor played some very ex-
cellent numbers on the piano accom-
panied by Edison recreation of the num-
5ers. The concert program was as fol-
lows:
(a) Deb vieni, non tardar Mozart
ID Sing Me to Sleep Greene
Miss Tiffany with the Edison
Recreation of her voice.
