The graceful young women and the artistic
young men who attend the Lyceum School Of
Acting listened for nearly two hours yester-
day afternoon to an informal talk by Mh4e
Marie Grady Delsarte. the elder Of Delsartes
two surviving daughters. who advised them
how to become more graceful and more artis-

Delssrte remained seated in wooden arm

then to illustrate her remarks by gestures.
In appearance Nine. Delsarte is a typical
French woman. In repose her face is unin-
teresting. but the moment her attention Is
aroused It becomes full OF animation. and all
her movements arc Interesting. She spoke in
French. which. sad to say. very few OF her su-
dience understood. But no one was at loss
to follow her meaning. The expression Of her
face the polse Of her head. the motions of her
arms and her hands were kind Of universal
language which none could fail TO understand.
There were several members Of the New York
Society Of Oratory present Some Of the pupils
who understood French took notes.
