No other monograph even dares the test which
the New Edison underwent last Wednesday, be-
fore a large audience at the First Baptist church.
That fact is something for you to think about.
The test Of comparison with living artists is
the only monograph test which means anything.
1t is the only way in which a photograph can IRE
futably prove its realism. It is the most drastic
of all photograph tests. To sustain it, requires
absolutely perfect r~ealisnl,-nothing less.

II YOU were there, you heard the living voice
and the Reiterated voice brought into direct com
parison. You know that there was no difference
between the two voices.
A similar test was made by the Damn instru-
mental trio with the same successful results.
BY this wonderful performance, the New Edi-
son has placed itself apart from all other phono-
graphs and talking machines. 1t alone has sus-
tanned this drastic test. 1t alone has proved con-
cretely and conclusively, that it gives you the
living performances Of great artists.
