Great artists such as Marie Rappold, Anna Case, Alice Verlet, Christine Miller, Marie Kaiser, Elizabeth Spencer, Helen Clark, Arthur Middleton, Thomas Chalmers, and numerous others, have matched their voices against Mr. Edison's Re Creations thereof and two hundred thousand music lovers have confessed their inability to distinguish the real voices from Edison's Re-Creations of them.
