They saw her take her position next to a beautiful cabinet. They saw her lips give.. voice to the opening lines of Cowles’ “Forgotten.” Then suddenly her 11ps were still—but the song kept flowing on. ~“How came this? They were hearing Miss Eller— man’s voice, yet Miss Ellerman was not singing. The entire audience gasped as it slowly realized that it had been unable to distinguish between Miss Ellerman s voice and the RE—CREATION of that vowe by the New Edison. This was the daring test undertaken last night at The Grand Theatre by Thomas A. Edlson He sought ; to prove that no difference exists between the voice of _the living -artist and its RE-CREATION by the New 'Edison. The musically cultured of Bemidji were in- vited to pass judgment. No test could have been more exacting. Miss Ellerman made comparison after compar- ison. The Fleming Sisters Trio, which appeared jointly with Miss Ellerman, also made tests with their instru- mental selections. The mystified audience tried vainly to catch a difference between the original rendition and its RE-CREATION by the New Edison. No one could tell one from the other. It was a trlumph whole and complete for the New “Edison.
