MIRIAM OF 'OUTCAST'
SAYS BEAUTIFY VOICE
Elsie Ferguson Urges the De
velopment of Speaking
Voice
Joit that many professors of English
in our colleges notably Brander Mat
thewsseem bent upon vulgarizing the
language the stage may find IU true and
highest "mission" In preserving the beau
ty of the tongue. There are many was
to assist, but one of the greatest 13 the
cultivation of a. refined and cultured
speaking voice.
"It i3 every woman's duty to make her
world as beautiful as she can." says Miss
Elsie Ferguson in "Outcast."
"I should make it almost a criminal
offense for a. woman to have a harsh,
unpleasant speaking 'oice. There Is ab
solutely no excuse for it, because any
voice can be made reasonably pleasant
and agreeable unles3 there is an abso
lute phsical defect In the formation
Few women seem to pay any attention
to their daughters' speaking voices, and
certainly the jounger generation enunci
ates so badly and uses such a meagre
variety of words that the young girls
and boy3 who have had good educations
find it simpler to talk in the expressive
slang of the day and pay very little at
tention to English as it is spoken.
"Children should be taught to speak
carefully and to pronounce every word
distinctly. There should be breath enough
behind the oice to support and make it
carry without straining- the vocal cords,
and there should be the constant re
minder at home that It is worth while
having1 a pleasant voice, even If one never
expects to sing.
"Girls reiterate the same adjectives
time after time because they have no
choice of words. For instance- 'Isn't it
loely?" a pet phrase used with equal
enthusiasm about a baby, a new hat. a.
box of candy, a magnificent niwr or a
beefsteak. How can one incj z one's
vocabulary Whv. by reading; Oi cours.
and by committing- such pieces of verse
or prose to memory as appeal especially
to the imagination and are particularly
fine examples of the English language.
"The quality of the voice is cultivated
by listening and paying attention to one's
own tones and learning to discriminate
between beautiful and ugly sounds. Few
people take the trouble to speak in a
pleasing voice. Voice culture Is one of
the most neglected parts of the average
girl's education. The woman cannot be
really charming who has not an agree
able speaking voice."
Our productions represent the highest
point in perfect photoplays. They are
shown at all theatres where meritorious
picture plays are shown. We want you to
see these films at your nearest theatre.
