Prince Omar Toussoun, who sets forth this new view, bases his statement on the history ot the conquest of Egypt written by the Arab historian Ibn Abdel Makan, who died in 871 A. D. Makan mentions five mosques at Alex- andria, among them t of the Prophet Daniel, who. was then called Zoul Karnein. Prince Toussoun claims that this name also was given by Arab writers to Alexander the Great, and that Daniel | never came to Egypt, but was buried m Warkouk, in Mesopotamia. The ce holds that if Daniel had been bus Alexandria the Arabs would never changed the name of the burial place after their conquest of the country. since they, too, revered him prophet. | | Seeks Owner of Longzlt Pin.

But it seems some of the British ac- cent didn’t please the public. And an- other thing—it limited those actors to British-type roles. Since their voices arve excellently pitched and they have had the best of schooling for the stage. they are valuable to the studios for all types of general screen use. If you think it's funny of Lon Chaney to be running about with a text book of Spanish, a French verb primer and a German-at-a-glance, remember he is learning something brand-new. which, | But when you | after all, isn't so bad. are out to break the established habits of a lifetime, that’s another story. Americanization experts, as the new teachers are called, have two ways of teaching their pupils to speak United States. They read Western stories aloud. In these they acquire the vocab- ulary of the wide, open spaces peculiar to the United States, and which gets them away from the “Just fancy,” “Reahlly, now,” and “I say!” of their London days. Another step in Americanization work is attendance at collegiate evenings with popular dance orchestras. Some of the pupils are very apt. Others have much difficulty in flattening out their broad As. A London actor was asked recently if he liked Hollywood. He an- swered, “Well, rawther, rahther, rather!” Claude Allister is one of the British contingent who has no worries of this sort. His accent is his priceless asset for movie comedy characterization. And no more delicious type of Englishman-in-a- mist, can be found than this actor who made his screen debut with Ronald C:Iman in that popular comedy “Bull- | dog Drummond.” Allister has gone on from this to one | characterization after an- | successful other. His goofy portrayal in ‘“Three Live Ghosts” is one of the best things talkies have given us. Lawford Davidson, on the other hand, has one of the most sought-after Brit- ish-type voices in the colony. He talked for Paul Lukas in an early all-dialogue picture, “The Wolf of Wall Street.” In those days voice doubles were quite the thing. Since then the public has evinced a distaste for substitution of this sort and every effort is made to have the original speak. Since Lawford Davidson is an ex- cellent actor and his years of experi- ence with silent movies have given him | gRope, a splendid knowledge of camera make- up, he is in demand for roles aside from those with an English slant. He looks ike an American banker. Or he might a famous surgeon, an American Army captain, any one of a hundred characterizations none of which need “a” as in “ah.” The studio has gently sul ted that he would be more val- uable if he could drop the Britishisms from his speech. He is doing it slowly, but finds it maddening. Basil Rathbone’s diction is a_delight. It makes for some of the talkie dia- logue one could wish to heer. It is cul- tured, poised, beautifully rhythmed— has everything good voice work should have. But it also has a very broad British accent included, which makes | him a liability when American types are being cast. He is among those suffering the Americanization process. When Anthony Bushwell played the role of Charles in “Disraeli,” that lovely He has seldom had a free day since his first screen release. Many of his char- acterizations have been British, He played a role in “Journey's End.” He Wwill play the part cf the young man in “The Circle.” But the day will come when he will be wanted for an Ameri- can hero, so if he's smart he'll learn to soft-pedal the A. | Movies have a tremendous influence on civilization. When I see neighbor- | hood beauty shops thriving, I realize that they owe their being largely to the cinema. Housewives saw Norma Talmadge or Janet Gaynor in a ging- | ham frock with marcelled hair and | beaded lashes, pouring coffee from a good old galvanized iron coffee pot, and | looking like a million dollars. It gave them an idea: “I can look that way also.” And they did. | I've been secretly hoping that we'd | go right on L-oad-a'ing in our movies and the result would be a gentler sound- | ing language.
