Convershtlon Carried on in Cars is Mlsdemeanor, Says Miss Matthlson» Actress Said to Speak “Intemational” English Declares Rumblmg Trains' Induce Shoutmg Which Is ; Bad for the Throat Organs. (By Deris BE. Fleischman' York' Tribiune.) “Never talk in the subway. Con- versation carried on in the cars or on the platforms thereof 1s a misde- meanor, and should be punishable by Everybody knows there is no statute of that sort, but many wish there were, and chief among them is a woman, Wwhe has bee; ‘galled one of the two women of the world who can talk pure English. ''Sne talks; not British, and not' American, but inter- national “English, which - is' " neither; and yet is far superior vo both. Miss Edith Wynne Marthison, whose fame as an elocutionist of purest dic- tion and vocal perfection is quite apart from and in* addition 't6 ‘her fa as an actress, arises to the-sup- of ‘#he much abused 'American dlcthn and, voice, It is not that she entirely ‘admiires the flat and the nasal :gounds, but she finds them no more objectignable . than the monotory of the gcockney whine, for example, which, S0 many Americans find as fascinating as the English ‘find the Bowery talk. Why Not Wait "Till the Train Passes. ‘What does strike her as remarkable is the lack of sensitiveness on the part of the American, the nardness which will permit him to continue to go on shouting in order to drown out the noise of the street car dnd the elevated rallway. * “If you did not shout so much you would really be - quite all right. ‘No one thinks of waiting until the train passes in order o speak; he just goes right on offending his own delicate throat organs and the ears of his hearers.” ‘Miss Matthison, in private life Mrs. Charles Rann Kennedy, was seated in her very high-ceilingea mbrary, in her apartment on West Eighty-sixth street. She was curled up gracefully ou the brown velveted settee, which stood at right angles to the fireplace, that gave out a spicy odor of burned viood. No less interestea in the con- versation was her playwright husband, who spoke with all the dramtic fervor and gesticulation which marks' her stage productions. In her home he is the dramatic personage, and she is the charming, demure little woman, with luminous dark blue eyes that light up in an almost startling manner when , she talks. an ‘occasional hint of the big artist who sways her audiences. Something to Say, at Least. lhero." ‘lfl Mr. Kenedy, sitting on is foot,”in, the manner known l'mgst women and few men, “is indi- Lcative of ‘& .very encouraging qual- ity. . It shows that you are inter- ested, that you ‘have something to in New say. Your drawlng rooms are not aull,’ each peuon 'is ‘shouting in or- der to have himself heard when every one is talking at once. It means * sincerity - of enunciation too. In Bngland the talking sounds dread- fully insincere. They ‘have two or three torms of modulation, and they . children. [ in speaking. And I should There is nothing here but, ‘“Of course, your tendency to shout: to say, “Oh, pass me the tea; it 1s a charming day; yes, quite disastrous,” all in the same manner that leads one call it an insincerity of speech, even though it is not more than af- fectation of sincerity.” ” “You see,” assented Miss Matthi- son, ‘“you have that in your favor. You have many varied tones in your voice, tones which make it so de- lightful to talk to "the Swiss, the the ¥French and Germans, and in par- ticular the, Alsace-Loringians, who haye' that’ charming singing quality If you spoke more carefully, your voices would' be quite like theirs. “Americans are not sufficiently careful about the lingual and vocal environment and influence of their In England we take very much more care to see that our chil- dren ‘speak orréctly. We do not al- low them 'to.shout, we try to speak correctly when we are' with them, and we see that their companions will’ not injure their speech, so far os we possibly can. Use Voices Beautifully, “The first thing to cdre for is the way in which the child uses its voice imagine the best influences would be the Irish and the Negro. Both of these use their voices beautifully in speak- ing and the| faults of each would be counteracted by the other,. and the tonal influence therefore would be almost perfect. Of ‘course, since children are naturaly imitative, they might be apt to acquire certain un- desirable enunciative characteristics, such as the brogue, and for that it would be necessary for the parents and the schools to teach the proper speech. “Many Americans feel that the British accent is the only proper English diction. But that is quite as wrong as to say that the Yankee dipthong is the standard of speech, The tendency of the English, to, use all closed vowels, to turn every sound to an ‘eh’ is a very ugly one and very | bad for the throat, just as yuor flat ‘a’ in ‘cast’ is poor. One localism is as bad as the other. The British ‘a’ ‘which becomes an ‘au’ is quite as un- pledsant as the Americain ‘a.’ ~The best is the Italian ‘a,’ for that not only sounds' well in .itself, but . it makes for a préper handling of the voice. Vowel Hammer That Rings Out Sound “You know, of course, that if you use your vowels in the proper man- ner it will help the voice materially, for the vowel is the hammer that rings out the sound. A good, clear vowel makes for a good, clear voice. Please don’t think that I mean a con- sciously singing voice, for that is de- testible, quite as detestible = as the pedantic diction is, or anything that makes for unnaturalness.” Where did Miss Matthison acquire this perfect diction of hers, which is so perfect that one quité forgets to notice it when she is speaking, “just HARRY INGALLS, These attractions !

Keeney’s new policy ‘of showing a big motion picture drama every week was started last night. The patrons were greatly pleased with the Lubin film and they were loud in their praise of the picture today. It is expected to attract a large number again to- night. The Field brothers in “Hanky | Panky” continue popular with the de- votees of vaudeville in this city and there is genuine amusement while the act is on. The comedy is bright and thé slap-stick methods of the come- dians seems to amuse greatly despite their antiquity. The songs:are up to the minute and are rendered in pleasing fashion. Other acts on the program giving entire satisfaction are: Josephine May, wire performer; Crawford sis- ters, novelty entertainers; Zara Car- men and company, operatic singers and Stuart and Martin, singing come« dians. as one should forget any instrument, and listen only to the meaning which is produced through it’ she xplains?; Miss Matthison s English, has a.l. ways loved good speech from the time | ‘'when. she was a little girl of seven “and recited her first piece, “The Singer and the Girl.” She was discarded the purely local characteristics of seepch, and has maintained only what is ac- ceptable and in accord with the speech of any place in which English is spokén. Conversaiotn then turned from the difficulties of speaking in the Stadium to the play of “Trojan Women” it- self. “If Buripides had been living today he would have written just ex- actly this sort of play. He would have been an internationalist. He would have been way ahead of his period. He would have believed in absolute non.resistance, probably. Not very v of us are hig enough for that now,’” sighed Mr, Kennedy, pass. ing his hands through his long gray hair, “Do you see what analogy that play bears to modern times?” he asked. “It is quite symbolic.

Woe, woe, woe, until one fairly aches to see the cause of this terrible héaping up ‘of catastrophes. And then when she appears, what is she?” The Real Cause of “War. “HBuripides saw her ndt as the her- oic figure that she was universally con- ceived to be. He showéd her as the common ' little harlot-héartéd creature, of pussy-cat tendencies, who was a pos- itive disillusionment in the'anti-climax of her arrival upon the stage. And that is whdt the cause of all war is. the glorious cause of the Fatherland and the divinely appointed duty England. But when we really search out the cause and look at it without blurring spectacles we see a bunch of knock-kneed little kings and a fat fi- nancier fingering his bankroll.” “And if this wag does anything, it will make for an internationalism. Just | as Huripides saw it thousands of years ago, and just as so many: women are ! seeing it now, even more and more men-are awakening to the essential i national patriotism that ruins,” ended Miss Matthison. TRAVEL FESTIVAL Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival which' comes to the Lyceum on Sun. day night is due to thé¢ fact that the public has become more and more diseriminating in the photographic quality of films as well as the sub- {Ject matter. This same public rea- | lizes that in these respects Mr. Howe's | exhibition meets the demands of the most critical and exacting and that it can always be depended wpon the sur- pass the most sanguine expectations. | In his entirely new program Mr. Howe promises one of the most de- lightful picture journeys he has ever presented. It will take local “Howe travelers’ 'to Venice—the city of the sea. The series is unique—because Venice is unique. All other cities {in the world resemble each other in many respects, but Venice alone re- mains distinctive— a city of romance where poetry conquers prose. And it is exactly this poetic beauty of Venice that Howe's film conveys ex- vquisuelr. Of course, the new pro. igram includes numerous other note- ‘worthy features such as a descent into the crater of Vesuvius where specta- ,tors peer down into a vast abyss of bollln! lava. Then there is a thrill- 'ing ride on a runaway train. -This, too, is a descent, but at an appall- 'ing rate df speed down the moun- itain side and around curves—the ,train increasing in momentum at | !every foot until spectators are trans. i fixed in suspense as to just how such ‘an eventful trip will end. ° The mys- terious development of flowers; the grace and beauty of nature’s handi- | work during the growth of plants: | the fascinating formations caused by the electrolysis of metals, and a rail- road ride through Greece are only a {few of the many other features to {be presented. In addition there will ibe thosel amusing, clever animated truth, to common sense concerning a A BROAD EDUCATION | The great vogue and popularity of | l Menu for Tomorrow I:"t:h\l'::;jo‘o::tu.f:t! :.:r’.::dl | tablespoonful of shortening. ‘We may talk now about noble France, i ot] | | 'cartoons:which always form such a pleasant djveision.

The subjective in life is just as important as the objective. The way In which you do things and the way you feel about thens ters as well as the things you do. - Dancing Can Be An Exercise or An Insuit, Take the new dances, for instance. Few things are more changel what ¥ou put into them than daneing. People who object so vioientl all kinds of dancing forget that, like music, dancing has Infinite bilities of interpretation. The much discussed.new dances take theis from the dancers. I have seen the fox trot, the onestep or the danced in a frank and simpie way asa form of graceful exercise, & 1 have also seen them danced in & manner whi¢h made one we: g the girls’ mothers were about, to permit such things to go on. Again a book or a play 1s not the same thing to any two peop read or see it. T read recently two criticisme of a certain farce. saye is very broad and rather coarse; the other that it Is a thorougniy some farce .with nothing objectionable in it. Now hoth. critics saf. h play, but each must have put something into it out of his own mind experience. - * One critic The Girl Whom Strange Men Spoke To, To go a step further, it sems to me that the tendency of your not only colors what you do and what you think, but it infiuences relation to events and people. I know a girl who is always being spol to on the street by strange men. She has a modest enough bearing and not a striking looking giri, but she is one who thinks a good deas such things. I beleve that this tendency of mind in some way stch experiences to her. Of course outer conditions do react to change and form the inner and so what one does certainly matters, but one should not gorget bhow one does it and how one feels about it also matter.
