TONE TEST-RECITAL
TREAT FOR ONTARIO
Hundreds Turned Away from Dicnni
land so I-nrgc Wan Crowd De
siring to Hear Miss Morrl
sey nnd Her Ito-Crcntlons.
Tho concort hold nt Tho Dream
land on last Friday evening was an
unlquo affair. Tho guests, whoso
number Included most of tho music
lovers of Ontnrlo, assembled dollght
cd nt tho prospoct ot hearing a re
cital by tho celebrated Miss Mario
Morrlscy, assisted by Harold Lyman
with his fluto. Dut a aurprlso was
In storo for thorn. Not ono Miss
Morrlscy, but two tang to tho spell
bound audlcnco; and tho fluto, soloc
tlons wcro ployed by two Harlod Ly
manB. And this phenomenon wns
brought about by means of n grace
tul cabinet, which stood besldo tho
nrllsts on tho stago, and matched
tholr porformnnces, not for noto
nnd tono for tono.
Tho first porformanco ot tho mlr
nclo wnn In tho Intltlnl number on
tho program, whon Miss Morrlaov,
standing hesldo tho cablnot, sang
In unison with Mr. Kdlson's Re-Cro-
ntlon of her own voice In tho midst
of tho song, Miss Morrlsoy's lips
coascd to movo but lior Hong want on
without n break. Slowly It dawned
upon tho astonished audlcnco that
tho artist was no longer singing,
though her volco enmo forth to thorn
ns clonr nnd awcot ns ovor, She
sang again and tho only porcoptnblo
dlffcronco was tho motion of bar lips,
8ho ceased but hor volco did not.
Vortlbly It soomod that thoro wcro
two Ingrs upon tho stago two sing
ers, but only ono volco. For tho
tones which enmo from tho Now
Hdlson matched thoso from tho living
artist so porfoctly that It was Ini
posslblo to dotoct nny dlfforanco.
Tho Instrument produced not on
ocno or copy, uui mo roai iiimK--Miss
Morrlsoy's volco unspoiled by
any mochnnlcnl transformation; un
talntod by nny metallic ring.
After tho npplauso which follow
this remarkable oxhlblttou, Harold
Lyman camo forwnrd to iihnro tho
stage with his follow musician, the
Now Edison Again two artists woro
bnforo us, or Mr. Lyman with his
nuto nlavod In unison with tho Re
creation of his nrt. Only by watch
ing hlmcould wo toll whon wo woro
hearing ono Mr, Lymnn nnd whon
bis music enmo to us In douhlo mea
sure Tho Instrumental Ro-Croatlon
wns ns porfoct as thnt or Miss Mor
rlsov's dollKhtful volco. It waa Iden
tical with tho original In ovory par
ticular.
Succosslvo numbers or mo program
provod that tho field or tho Now Kit
tson Is not llmltod to vocal and fluto
rocords. A Re-Creation of a number
on tho piano was a rovolatlon to
thoso who had docldod aftor hear
ing talking machlno rocords; that
tho plnno tono could not bo repro
duced. Furthor numbors In which
Miss Morrlsoy and Mr, Lyman per
formed with thoinsolvos served to
convlnco tho audlonco or tnoir
Inability to distinguish between Tlo
Crontod nrt and Its original.
Ono of tho most intorosung nov-
oltlos In this ovonlng of unlquo ex
prlenco, was whon Miss Morrlsey
Bang a duot with hor own volco. It
was oh though two nrtlsta with
voices of exactly tho Bnmo tone-qual
ity, tho samo expression, tno samo
tlmbor woro alnplng toRethor. The
effect was somohow unroal and weird
as though ono artist had boon bo
witched Into two by some magician s
art. . ,
Tho climax of tho ovonlnR'e en
tertainment was whon tho room was
darkond In tho mlddlo of ono of
Miss Morrlsoy's selections, and tho
lUtonors wero loft with no means hut
tholr ears of determining whon they
woro hearing her volco In double vol
ume, and whon It roached them
only from tho Now Edison At first
everyone doubted his own ability to
Judgo, hut hor previous proofs wore
forgotten In tho spoil of tho Bong,
they becamo more and more convinc
ed that no Instrument could sing as
this volco was Blnglng, and that Miss
Morrlsoy was making no more pauses
In hor own porformoncoH. Sudden
ly tho lights woro snappod on. The
audlonco was astonished to discover
that Miss Morrlsoy was not thero at
all nnd that tho Now Edison had fuo
nlshed tlio song alone. ,
Such miracles aro Indeed the work
of a magician but a most benevo
lont ono. For tho wlzzard, who ac
complished this miracle of Ro-Croatlon,
Is as anxlouB that It shall add to
tho comfort and Joy of mankind, as
ho has boen that his other Inven
tions bo used for tho Reed of tho
race. Thousands of Now Edlsons,
mado up In a spoclal form durable
onough to stand tho hard knocks of
Army and Navy usage havo been fur
nished to our boyB on shipboard and
In camps and aro a proof of his gen
orous Intorest In happlfylng the
world, without regard for personal
gain for thoso Army and Navy mod
els of the Now Edison aro mado and
sold with no profit to Mr. Edison.
Tho recital was arranged by W
L. Turner of Turner's Music Storo.
