Strange Screen Test
BAY
ONE of the strangest screen tests in film history was that in connection with the making of the Edison Alm.
Applicants were required to quickly and accurately the following eight words "Mahalalcel, Methuselah, Arphaxad, Hazamaveth, Chedorlao- mer, Zephaniah,
and Nebuchadnezzar,
Obadiah,
These words figured in an import- ant incident in Edison's life. When he first invented the gramophone many people thought it was a hoax and that n ventriloquist was em- ployed.
On the
occasion a clergyman stamped into Edison's Office and de- manded to test the machine out. The clergyman then hurled into the recorder these eight words. Then he settled back snugly in the knowledge that no other man alive-least of all the a ventriloquist, could speak words with such rapidity and, arti- culation. The words came back .ns he antd them and presumably he was convinced.
