Eazzari stands beside the New Edison and sings 

 "Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix" 



Eazzari has now ceased to sing-, and the New Edison 

 is singing- the same song alone 



THE voice of the decade has appeared. A tran- 

 scendent artist has flashed into operatic glory. 

 Twenty- two months ago, Carolina Lazzari joined 

 the Chicago Opera— unknown, unheralded. 

 Today, three continents clamor to hear her. 

 This fall the Metropolitan Opera Company brings 

 her to New York City — its new prima donna con- 

 tralto. 



While the spell of her magnificent voice is hold- 

 ing New York opera-goers enthralled, the New 

 Edison will be giving the self-same voice to music- 

 lovers throughout the world. 



The pictures on this page are from actual photo- 

 graphs. They show I/azzari in the act of compar- 

 ing her voice with its Re-Creation by the New 

 Kdison. She sang. Suddenly she ceased to sing, 

 and the New Edison took up the same song alone. 



There was no diffei r ence. It was only by watching 

 L-azzari's lips that the audience could tell when 

 she had ceased to sing. 



L-azzari has made this test before more than ten 

 thousand music lovers and representative music 

 critics. This test proves beyond all question that 

 the, voice of Lazzari, as Re-Created by the New 

 Kdison, is absolutely indistinguishable from her 

 voice as heard on the stage of the Metropolitan 

 Opera House. 



Generations may pass. The Metropolitan Opera 

 House may fade into memory. But the genius of 

 Edison has perpetuated forever the real voices of 

 the world's great artists. Not strident and me- 

 chanical travesties on their art — but literal RE- 

 CREATIONS, indistinguishable from their living 



NO TE:— Edison not only RE-CREA TES the great voices cf the world. He also finds them. 

 His method of scientific voice-analysis discovered Lazzari.
