Albemarle Enterprise: May 14, 1914 Pg. 4 The Real and Only Genuine Talking Pictures Skepticism will give way to amazement next Wednesday and Thursday at the Opera House when Edison's Latest Achievement in the form of Singing, Talking, and Laughing Pictures will be shown here. New York has had these great pictures for some weeks and the success of them, which almost from the very first, led the inventor to send out several companies to tour the principal cities that all may have the opportunity to witness what seems the impossible. The series of incidents that will be shown here will be John J McGraw, of the New York Giants in a baseball monologue telling some of his funny incidents of his travels, and as Mr McGraw has just returned from a tour around the world, they will be very interesting. Other remarkable scenes and full dramas and comedies and operas that will be given with every detail both as to action and dialogue will be Seymour, Dempsey and Seymour, King of Music, mirth and melody, Mrs. Murphy's Horse-Shoe, A Few Shamrocks from Ireland, Edison's greater, bigger and better minstrels and many others making a full two hours of entertainment. These pictures are not only shown but you will hear every word, song and patter of the dancers as each participant goes through the incidents as outlined by the producer. Program will be changed Thursday. There will be a special matinee on Thursday at 2:30 o'clock.
