- Description:
Man speaks: "Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to illustrate to you how these records are made. Now, uh, you've heard me talk considerable this evening, so I shall not detain you much longer. I wish that I could hear some of the children sing one of their church hymns." As he continues speaking, childrens' voices may be heard singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee"; speaker then appears to join in. Recording concludes with greetings exchanged among men including Father O'Brien, cheering and laughter by a large audience on cue, and a woman saying: "Hello, Father [Fielden (?)]. Don't you think this is a splendid machine? I do."
