Large Audience Hears the Edison Artists Tuesday Probably a number of people v.dio attended the re.it-d given on Tuesday night of this week by Miss Gladys b’icc and Miss Ada line Packard at the High School Audiloiium were at. liist puzzled and disappointed when they dis covered a phonograph cabinet oc cupying the center of the stage. inc were hardlv runs aired v, 'cu M ; s Packard appeal ed on the stage and coinuieic-cfl to talk about “ji E-UREA HONS.” It Ji nady became apparent that the phonograph was at least to re ceive assistance from the singer, but even then the mental outlook was not exactly bright. Miss Packard explained that the purpose of the recital was to illus trate that Thomas A. Edison, al ter years of work, had achieved his ideal of perfecting a musical instrument which would actually HE CREATE music so that the re location would lie indistingfiisha ble from the original. This was a broad claim nut it was established before the evening was over for the artists actually stood beside the New Edison Pho nograph and performed in unison with Mr. Edison’s re-creation— so-called—of their performance. This would have proved little, as the artists might easily have over balanced the tone of the instru ment-swallowed it up —so to speak, but they did more—or, to he accurate, less. They paused from time to time, apparently at random and permitted their re-cre ated performances to he heard alone. This gave an opportunity to compare one with the other, and it is no more than just to stale that there was no discernible dif ference in tone quality. There must have been a slight difference in volume when the ar tists stopped singing or playing hut it was not noticeable for the tone which came from the cabinet was round and luscious with all of Great Winder Enterprise That Covers Entire Union THE RED AND WHITE CONTEST.

II Jackson. the vibrant, pulsating quality of that which came directly from Miss Rice’s throat and the instru ment of Miss Packard. It was on ly by watching the singer’s lips or the violinist’s bow that one could be sure when they sang or played and when they did not. This proof was convincing. If it were not. another proof was of fered. After Miss Rice had com menced to sing one number, the lights were turned out ostensi bly so that the audience could not watch the singer’s lips. It did not seem difficult to de termine in the dark when the sing er sang and when she did not. The writer was pretty sure about it until tlie lights were turned on again and it was discovered that Miss Rice was not on the stage at all and that the New Edison alone had been heard. $1.50 IN ADV ANCE The Smith-Mayne Manufactur ing (’ompanv is one of Winder’s great enterprises that covers the entire union and maimfactcriug the finest office desks turned out from any factory.
