"PHONOART" GRAMOPHONES.

A VERY POPULAR MAKE.

"Plionoart" gramophones manufactured locally by Messrs. Woodhouse and Co., gramophone dealers, at their warehouse, Queen Street, opposite Civic Square, are becoming more and more popular. This is no doubt attributable to their clarity of reproduction, which has earned for them such wide and ever incrcasirip popularity. "Pbonoart"' gramophones are specially constructed to merit the finest reproduction, and include the "Phonoart" sound bos and amplifier— the voioe of tlie instrument. This specially made sound-box and amplifier is built on scientific principles which have revolutionised sound reproduction in such an extent that it is impossible in distinguish the reproducti -n of a recordins from that of actual human voice. The "Phonoart"' has no mechanical noises and no vibrations which so clearly make an instrument a mere '"musical box." Unique Test. In order to allow the public to estimate the value of this nc-w scientific invention Mcs-rs. Woodhou-e and Co., through the courtesy of ti.e Recent Theatre, arranged that the record "A Dream" should be played on a "Phonoart prarpoj to the aCi-cmpaniiiient of the* mighty Wurlit.-er organ, played by Eddie llorton.
