Ether Waves demonstration captivates Berlin audience
In Berlin on October 24, Professor Leo Theremin unveiled a new instrument called Ether Waves that draws music from air via electromagnetic fields.

Theremin demonstrated tone control with hand movements, then added a color-music system producing colored light synchronized to sound. A Denver area anecdote reports C McDunn cashing dated checks across several towns, earning no money but humor.
