Thirty seconds later! Hemp el has 

 ceased. The blindfolded jury is not 

 aware that the New Edison is singing 

 ( Io non sono piu l'Annetta" alone. 



CRIEDA HEMPEL is called "Hempel of tke Voice 

 *• Supreme." T"ou migKt tkink this is because of her 

 technique — so flawless, so superb! Or because of her notes, pure as the 

 chiming of silver bells. 

 But Hempel is infinitely more than a vocalist. Hear her sing some song she loves, 

 and suddenly you understand what it is that makes her great among the greatest in opera 

 and concert. For you fall under the spell of a mysterious, lifting power — a power which 

 transmutes every note into gold and every bar into angel-music. It is Hempel's sublime artist-soul. 

 Soul is that electric something, that transcendent something, that eternal something, which makes music 

 the mind's solace and inspiration. The soul of music is what Edison has caught and perpetuated in 

 his RE-CREATIONS. That is why he considers the New Edison the greatest of his indentions. 

 That is why the heart of the music-lover responds to a RE-CREATION by the Mew Edison, even as 

 it responds to the art of the lining artist. 



Go hear the New Edison. Hear it with your eyes closed, for that is the best way to listen to music. 

 You will feel that the artist himself is standing before you, alive!
