Phonograph Collections
Boosted by Phono-Mike
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-A new and start-
lingly successful innovation was introduced
to operators of automatic phonographs here,
recently, when the Economy Production
Company placed their Phono-Mike on the
market.
Designed to work on any modern auto-
matic phonograph, the Phono-Mike is prov-
ing a revoluti!;mary means of boosting
weekly intake on many locations. The de-
' vice, consisting principally of a micro-
phone speaker, may be attached to the
side of a phonograph, or to some conveni-
• ent spot in the room where the machine
1 is located.
In many locations the owner or the mas-
ter of ceremonies have found the Phono-
Mike useful for making announcements. An-
other valuable use, which has become very
popular where entertainers are employed, is
the use of the Phono-Mike for singing. It
is possible for an entertainer to sing over
the microphone while one of the records
on the phonograph furnishes an accompani-
ment. Volume of the record or the micro-
phone may be controlled according to the
desire of the singer.
Patrons are also finding the new attach-
ment entertaining for their own use, opera-
tors report, and this use alone has boosted
collections wherever microphones have been
installed. It attracts a great deal of atten-
tion as people are always interested in the
use of such an ins.t rument. The simple di-
rections written on the side of the phono-
graph make it possible for anyone to use
the microphone instantly.
The microphone hangs from a hook
when it is not in use. In order to operate
the attachment, the patron inserts a coin
in the regular slot of the machine and lifts
the microphone from its hook. He may
then speak into the "mike" and his voice
will be reproduced from the regulation
speaker on the phonograph.
Increased collections from phonographs
have been as much as one hundred and
twenty-five per cent of the usual gross, it is
claimed. Everywhere the device has been
used it has received the approval of opera-
tors and location owners, company officials
state, and in a few locations the use of the
microphone has been so great that it has
been used far more than the records on the
phonograph .
