Editor's Opinion of Edison 



The editor of this paper is impressed by the 

 variety of wonders of the phonograph. Think 

 of the musical art being handed over to a per- 

 ron who is absolutely without musical training I 

 Yet this Is exactly what the instrument accom- 

 plishes. Anybody can leai'n in two minutes 

 . how to operate an Edison phonograph. You 

 arrange your own programi You become the 

 director of an orchestra, the leader of a min- 

 ,trel show, the creator of an entertainment 1 



Suppose I "n-ant an evening concert to please 

 ihe widest kind of taste. I tjtt up something 

 like this:
