Everybody knows-or if they don't,
they ought to right away-of the Amer
lean actor who got to London last sum-
mer and in his bewilderment at the way
he heard English proper names pro-
nounced on all sides-"Maudlin for
.'Magdeline," 'Sinjun" for st. John"
and the like-at last sat down in despair
to avail himself of every constant read
er's privilege and wrote the London
Times a test question.
DO you" he asked the editor, pro
nOunce 'Pepys,' the famous diarists

odd English RECOMMENDATIONS of words
that do not bear the slightest family re-
semblance to the way they are spelled is
a never ending topic of conversation with
him or her who has just had a first taste
of the British life. But nobody seems to
have given thought to the fact that there
is often the best of reasons-euphony-
the first law of correct Speech-behind
the average British actors "Cholmeley"
for "Cholmondeley'' and his "circum-
since for circumstance.
But be that as it may, the complica-
tiOns that arise at the rehearsals of plays
from the difference in speech between
the two countries is very amusing. For
example, it took Charles Frohman an
entire week and no end of interruptions
during the Tehearsals of The Dollar
princess" to teach Miss Valli Valli, in
her character of an American girl, to
hire Donald Brian as clerk, not as a
clark" At each correction the little
actress would say 80 sorry" and then,
woman like. say CLARK the next min
ute.
The odd thing about it was that at the
same time at another theatre Mr.. Froh-
man. with equal insistence, was obliged
to correct Frank Burbeck, an American
playing a British earl in Detective
Sparkles," every time he said clerk for
CLARK in that play.
William Seymour, the stage director,
and F. Pope Stamper had 1t out IN good
style at one rehearsal of The Dollar
Princess" Mr.. Stamper would say ex-
duisite with the accent on the second
syllable, but Mr.. Seymour insisted on ex-
1uisite-accent on the first syllable.
But it doesn't mean as much your
way" the actor complained.
at isn't my way" said Mr. Seymour
ut is Webster's way"
seWho?'' came the quick query.
Mr.. Noah Webster"
Never heard of him. said the de-
liciously naive Britisher; but, right you
are; I shall say 1t that way.
Where dictionaries disagree, the last
court of appeal among the Fronman
forces is John Drew, who. by association
and from personal fondness for Things
genuinely correct, is very reliable In pro-
nunciation But last season even Jonn
Drew was curiously trapped into an er-
ror of speech that he unwillngly re-
tanned the entire season 1t was the

Mile. Pertina, the chic and winsome
dancer of The Soul Kiss" wakes elo-
quent when describing her art. She is
an enthusiast about terpsichore, and in
a recent interview voices her opinions
in the following characteristic words:
Dancing develops the Imagination to
greater than almost any other art.
The painter or sculptor can describe his
emotions or his ideals exactly through
the medium of his art. Modern music
has become almost as accurate and
realistic in describing everything from
nature sounds to the most complicated
emotion.
But the dancer has only nimble toes
and a subtle body to work with in de-
picting a scene OF a feeling of the heart,
and consequently has to put all her in
telligence into her work in order to
convey her meaning to the public. A
good dancer must be a close observer
of life, for she cannot draw on ones
imagination for the details which go to
show a public exactly what is passing
in the dancers mind. In the hunting
dance, in the last act of THE Soul
Kiss 1 try to portray the chase after
the fox, beginning with the meet, the
caracoling of the horses, the start,
jumping the hedges and finally the cap
ture of the brush. I have to dance as
the horse and rider at the same time
and depict the exhilaration of the rider
as well as the ninTbleness of the animal.
THE art of descriptive dancing is not
minutely to portray each occurrence or
give what might be called an imitation
of the thing that is supposedly happen
ing. but to create the illusion without
destroying the poetry of the dance by
too much realism. A two-footed morta |

ment of a four-footed would look both
ugly and ridiculous. And above all
thing the dancer must never be either
i,Of these. In the hunting dance, there
fore, it is necessary first to get the sem
satiOn of the horse cantering and then

The company politely professed doubt
as to the capacity of any human brain
to retain SO much. Coquelin smiisngly
turne dtO the host and said:
Take from your library the fifty
three books I shall name and let some
one start reading at random any page.
I shall then continue the plays from
memory"
All the guests took turns at starting
to read plays at random and in every
case CoQuelin was able to continue
from memory without Tie slightest
hesitation or pause
Yet, great as Coquelin was as an
actor, this proof Of his memorlzing
ability was but an illustration of the
peculiar exactitude that marked his
work on the stage-his mastery of de-
tail.
