The pictures above are drawn from actual photographs. They show Lazzari 
in the act of comparing her voice with its RE-CREATION by the New Edison. 
She sang. Suddenly she ceased to sing, and the New Edison took up the same 
song alone. There was no difference. It was only by watching Lazzari’s lips that 
the audience could tell when she had ceased to sing. 
Lazzari has made this test before more than ten thousand music-lovers and rep¬ 
resentative music critics. This test proves beyond all question that the voice of 
Lazzari, as RE-CREATED by the New Edison, is absolutely indistinguishable from 
her voice as heard on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. 
T he voice of the decade has appeared. A transcend¬ 
ent 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,—its new prima donna contralto. 
While the golden horseshoe of the Metropolitan sits 
enthralled by the spell of her magnificent voice, you in 
your own home can hear that self-same voice. For the 
New Edison brings you the real voices of the world’s 
great artists, wherever you may be. Not strident and 
mechanical travesties on their art, but literal RE-CREA- 
TIONS, indistinguishable from their living voices. The 
New Edison’s life-like Re-Creation of music in all its 
forms is the amazement of the music critics of the country. 
The entire genius of Edison, the wizard, is summed up 
in this marvelous phonograph—his Official Laboratory 
Model. It cost him three million dollars to perfect. Yet 
all the musical world counts every penny of those millions 
well spent. For, he thus perpetuated the priceless art of 
great artists, and introduced the wondrous cultural bene¬ 
fits of good music to discriminating homes everywhere.
