LOCATION RECORDING, TORRES STRAITS, 1898

The Excela Soundograph 

The only complete and up-to-date effect-producing machine ever invented is now complete and ready for the exhibitors. Everybody pronounces it a wonder. Almost any sound or effect imaginable is easily and realistically produced by simply turning a crank, pulling a handle or pushing a button. The effects are all mounted in a handsome cabinet structure, 25 X 40 inches square and 42 inches high, with means exterior for the operation of each effect separately, or they can be operated in combinations. The Soundograph can be located either in the orchestra pit or back of the screen as the exhibitor prefers. No expert operator is required, any one person is all that is needed to operate the Soundograph and produce perfect sound effects. A boy or some other employee of the theatre learns quickly to work the effects, thus relieving the exhibitor of the services of an expensive operator. It will put life arid realism in your pictures and delight your audiences. It holds their interest and attention to the end of the reel and assures you of big box office receipts every day.
