That would have been a 'Theremin' invented in 1919 by a Russian, Lev Termin.
There's loads of info on the web about them such as at
http://www.thereminworld.com/learn.asp
or http://www.ccsi.com/~bobs/theremin.html
or http://home.att.net/~theremin1/RCA/rca_theremin.html for details of the
original commercial theremin.

Best wishes,
Ian
