On June 14th, 1922 at the Albion Hotel (the hotel to the rear of the Continental Hotel when it was two separate dwellings) a new and exciting appliance was introduced to the people of Plymouth!
Just placed on the market the Ardente Acoustique was recommended by Doctors and used by Royalty. This small, light, portable and 'quite inconspicuous' devise; 'leaving the hands free with no heavy battery' was demonstrated, with tests given and without consultative fees at the hotel.
- An article found from the British Newspaper Archives, written in the Western Morning News in May 1922.
Reports say that there were people waiting along the street to gain entry, with people saying it was 'a miracle, I can hear even a whisper'.
Sound for many was a revelation that day in Plymouth, and all from the platform of the Albion Hotel!
