Quelques jours plus tard, un article est publié dans la presse :

THE PHONOSCOPE.
During the few afternoons and evenings this wonderful invention has been on exhibition in a shop in Ryrie-street, next to Mr A. G. Clark's premises, a large amount of interest in it has been displayed by the public. The instrument is a combination of the kinetoscope and the phonograph, and is truly a marvellous production from Edison's laboratory. Whilst viewing vocalists exhibited on the stage by means of electricity the viewer also listens to the songs being sung by the artists. It is the first time the phonoscope has been shown in Geelong, although the kinetoscope was shown here about 12 months since by the M’Mahon Bros.
