' — that afternoon I sang 'Annie Laurie' — -not with my own voice, but with my own feeling!"

'THE PHONOGRAPH OF RICHER TONE THAT YOU CAN PLAY"
I
HAD stopped for a moment in a musicwareroom and on my journey to the door I paused.
"Someone was singing 'Annie Laurie' behind me, with such a wealth of beauty and expression that I turned. I was listening, not to a human being as I thought, but to a new phonograph that I had never heard before — the Aeolian-Vocalion.
"That was a wonderful experience. I was listening to a song whose simple melody is so familiar that naught but the most exquisite voice could stir one with it. And I was stirred to the very depths of my being. So rich, so full of color were the notes that sounded forth that I have never dreamed a phonograph could voice them.
'And so I asked to hear more, but with a smile, the demonstrator inquired — Would I not like to sing 'Annie Laurie' myself, first?
"And then a miracle of music happened. He handed me what he called the 'Graduola' which was attached to this wonderful phonograph. He showed me how, by pressing it, I could melt the tones away to the faintest whisper, or swell them forth to strong, full-throated power.
"So I, who never sang before, sang 'Annie Laurie.' Not with my own voice, but with my own feeling, and thrilled with the experience as I knew the artist himself must thrill. No music that I had ever listened to had given me a tithe of such exquisite pleasure.
"Did I buy that wonderful instrument? It's in my home today and I question if money could get it away from me if I could not replace it. With its
aid, I, a hitherto dumb musician, sing and play with the voices and the talents of the world's great artists."
