Last Night's Audience Mystified by Phonograph Yeo • I■ ■ #I I 1 A \ L I i Wl!Bh» : ’ * e|M| j ■ J ' » ■ < f LlSOh M it i $ <- * ~ I) 1 Drawn from z JI xy i actual photograph MiR:. * Hears famous contralto i compare voice with RE-CREATION by Edison’s new phonograph—could not tell the two apart.

jy^RlE MORRISEY, the great American contralto, gave an extraordinary recital last night at North Liberty 31. E. church. Miss Morrisey walked on to the stage and stood’beside a stately cabinet. She began to sing “Dost Thou Know That Sweet Land.” The audience immediately yielded to the spell of her beautiful voice. Then suddenly there was a stir —a subdued murmur of surprise—and a perplexed rubbing of eyes. Miss Morrisey’s voice continued to fill the auditorium with undiminished sweetness —your ears were proof of that—but her lips had become absolutely silent —your eyes told you that.

You can have a duplicate of the wonderful instrument used at Methodist church and, if you act quickly, we can furnish you with an engraved certificate (signed by Marie Morrisey) ( m Tifving that it is an exact duplicate in tonal quality of the instrument she used in her amazing comparison; also that it will sustain precisely the same test.

What wizardry was this? It was the test of direct comparison with the living artist, which 1 Lomas A. Edison has developed to demonstrate that the Official Laboratory Model of his new phonograph will sing'any song exactly as it was sung by the artist, and that his RE-C REA 1 ION of a singer’s voice, as it comes from his wonderful new phonograph, positively cannot be distinguished from the singer’s actual voice, when both are heard in direct comparison. Miss Morrisey made repeated comparisons—always with the same result. It was truly wonderful. This master achievement of the great wizard, Edison, marks a new epoch in music.

j We have bought ten of the famous Official Laboratory ModeE and Maritjj Morrisey has certified every one of them. Come to our store at once and ask to see and hear the Official Laboratory Models on which Miss Morrisey has issued her Certificates of Authenticity.
