I Simplified Elocution.
A new book, bearing the above title, by
Edwin Gordon Lawrence, teacber of elo
' cution and director of the Lawrence school
of acting, has just been issued. Simplified
Elocution is a comprehensive system of
vocal and physical gymnastics; it contains
explicit instructions lor the cultivation of
the speaking voice and juiture: directions
lor the production of breath, sound and
speech, and a thorough explanation of the
muscles and organs employed: rules for
articulation, modulation, emphasis ana
delivery: postures and movements of the
feet, body, arms, head, eyes, etc.
To the treatise is added a complete
speaker, consisting of selections in poetry
and prose suitable for recitation, which,
as the aatbor says in his introduction,
"are not chosen on acccant of their njw
ness, but from their intrinsic merit and
their adapability as exercises."
The work is designed for the special use
of teachers, actors, students, colleges,
schools, and all those who wish to perfect
themselves in the noblj art of expression.
The book, which contains 232 pages, is
ha: dsomely bound in cloth and gold, and
will be sent postage free on receipt of SI.OO
