ELOCUT|ONISTS SPEAK
PIECES AT CONVENTION
Some Remarkable Things Brought Out With Reference to
Common Speech and the Tones in Which
Certain Words Are Uttered

Speaking of pieces" was the order
during the second days session of the
fourteenth annual convention of the
National Associa ton of Elocutionists
now being held in the auditorium of the
Public Library. Many e, IS and
-? ?'s' and not a few - -
found place in the orations of the day,
and the broad "a" was the most over
worked delegate to the convention.
1t was not an executive session, but
the speakers and delegates had mani
festIy agreed on a code which the
ordinary individual might have no
means of interpreting, except these
known to the inner circle.
A long, paper on technique told many
things about this elusive quality, which
even the Century dictionary has failed
to note

This paper was read by Mrs. Estella
H. Davis. of New York, who took oc
casion TO criticise carelessness in speech
In partieularizng Mrs. Davis said

Frequent injections of such words az
"artificiaiity," mentality "spontane
ity'' gave an inspiring tone to the paper
and when it had been concluded every
body had heard a lot more about tech
niaue than they knew before. Man,
seemed to understand, for Mrs. Davis
was heartily applauded.
