The singer should make an announcement of the title of the song he sings, also his fall name, and it is well to announce also the date the record was made. The piano plays a short introduction and the anger begins. The Phonograph should be run at a speed of about 120 revolu- tions per minute. This may be determined by holding the finger tip against the set screw in the pulley wheel on ma- chine and with a watch count the revolutions. It is not necessary to count the full minute, but count the quarter say 30 revolutions to the quarter minute. The illustration which appears on this page is a pen ani ink sketch made from a photograph and shows Mr.. Byroi G^ Harlan singing one of his popular selections to the machines. The photograph was made while this song was in progress and the machines are Edison Phonographs.
