CHICAGO OPERA STARS HEAR CICCOLINI TEST EDISON'S $3,000,000.00 PHONOGRAPH GUIDO CICCOLINI scored a great triumph as Alfredo in "Traviata" at the opening performance of the Chicago Opera season. Scarcely less happy than he, over his success, were Carolina Lazzari, leading contralto, and Virgilio Lazzari, the brilliant basso, of the world famed Chicago Opera Association. To them, on the following day, Ciccolini saii: "Last night two thousand people heard me en the stage of the Auditorium. Every day two hundred thousand hear me on the New Edison. It is the same voice-listen and tell me if you observe even the slightest difference." As shown in the photograph, Ciccolini stood beside the New Edison and sang for his friends in comparison with its RE-CREATION of his voice. Their critical ears could discover no quality in Ciccolini's wonderful voice that was not also present in the RE-CREATION. Similar tests have been made by thirty dif ferent artists before audiences aggregating two million people. The results of these astound ing comparisons are described in the news columns of America's principal newspapers. May we send you the booklet "What the Critics Say" ? Mr. Edison spent more than three million dollars in research work to develop 27e NEW EDISON "The Phonograph with a Soul" He did this so that you may have in your own home all the car can give you of the art of the world's greatest artists. You owe it to the music loving side of your nature to hear this wonderful instrument. Let us send you a complimentary copy of our musical magazine "Along Broadway."
