If there is one thing which initiates
Maud Powell and her manager, H.
Godfrey Turner, it is when some
miscreant adds an E to the violinist's
first name. 1t is felt that her name
is her trade mark and as such is not
to be tempered with. In recent
communication received by Mr.. Tur-
ner from an educational institution in
Illinois, this sentence appeared on the
letterhead: "Spelling recommended
by the Simplifed Spelling Board are
used in the correspondence of this
offs" The writer asked for the terms
on which Madam Powell would APP
pear under the auspices of the school
and in the body of the letter such
words as "give," shave" and fare"
were spelled "giv,,'' "hav" and ear"
respectively, but Madam Powell's
given name was spelled "Maude,"
and Mr.. Turner has been wondering
whether the Simplifed Spelling
Board is responsible.
