Anyone With Audible
Speaking Voice Can Sing,
Says Local Teacher
BY Ada Louise Bell.

Since speech is the medium through
which we communicate with one an
other il should be as attractive as pos
sible, whether il be a man who mea-
sures his living by his powers to con-
vince or whether it be woman whose
success in the social world depends
upon her powers of conversation and
charm. | have known college gradu-
ates who developed great scholarship
whose voices were so repellent that
their mental attachments were seri-
ously dwarfed.
The subject of voice culture is of
great antiquity, having been in vogue
and advocated by the greatest philo-
sophers and teachers thousands of
years ago. In Plato's time one of the
four subjects taught was music, and
voice was the integral part of the sub
ject Of music. Aristotle also advo.
Gated training the voice. He said
"The voice untempered by song chills
the spirit and deadens interest. One
that is tempered by song warns the
spirit and quickens the interest"
Richard Wagner said: THE human
voice is really the foundation of mu-
sic." He also said: ut is certain that
no other study demands so particular,
and so personal an attention as the
study of the correct use of the voice."
The essential elements of beautiful
speaking and singing are the same.
The same organism is involved in both
speech and song, and developed by
the same training. Technically con.
sidered, it is well defined by the late
Dory Duty Jones in Lyric Diction"
as "The art of combining speech pro-
cesses and sustained musical tones in

Roy Boomer Brings
Art TO Neqv Hip

Roy R. Boomer who specializes in
the artistic is using his art in the
manner of building prologues for the
New Hippodrome theatre which are
worthy of the attention of the theatre
loving public Last week the sketch
of Little Old New York" from the
Bowery to the exclusive night club
was an artistic triumph and this week
AL Parmelee in the CYCLIC prologue
with the vision of home and mother
deserves much attention from the
theatre-going public.
Mr. Boomer has been cooperating
with Fred Green, president of the
Musicians Union and as a result Mr..
Starkeys new theatre is the only one
in Spokane which has an orchestral
accompaniment for the feature pic
ture. This has been a feature of east
ern picture houses for some time and
is working out entirely successful at
the New Hippodrome.
Mr.. Green is being complimented on
his work as he is sending musicians
throughout the state to fill excellent
positions.
The Spokane woman. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1921-1935, 1926-10-28

such a manner that both word and
tone, both thought and emotion, shall
retain their full value"
Julia Marlowe, whose wonderful
speaking voice was not the least of
her charms, worked regularly with a
singing teacher, and so did Maude
Adams. The noble music of David
Bisphams speech illustrates my mean
ing perfectly, both when he spoke and
when he sang. There was the same
firm control of the breath, the same
resonant, boyant tone, and clearness
of enunciation.
Actors, generally speaking, realize
the value of beauty of vocal tone and
carrying power of their voices. 1t is
astonishing that other professional
speakers, notably clergymen, should
be SO negligent of the technic of
speech. All voices may be improved,
both in quality and sorority some to
a surprising degree of excellence.
l have small sympathy with the
popular idea that singing is for the
gifted few who have exceptional tai
ent. Any one who has an audible
speaking voice has by the same token
a voice with which to sing. If he is
tone deaf his singing is hardly likely
ever to give pleasure to others, but
dull ears can be made keener by
training, and unpromising voices can
sometimes be made even beautiful.
We have record of notable singers
whose possibilities we're very doubt
full at the beginning of their careers.
Every one needs the self expression
that singing gives even IL nothing
more than the church hymns. 1t is
indeed a person of small vision who
belittles the importance of general
voice culture. Our greatest educators
are recognizing its value, not alone
from cultural standpoint, but also
from an intellectual one.

1T WAS A HORRIFYING FEEL
ING TO BE LOCKED IN A
DARK VAULT WITH NO WAY
TO ESCAPE
BY Clement ]. McDermott

When found myself locked up in
the vault with the lights turned out,
last Saturday afternoon and no matches
on my person, | experienced sensa-
ton which was the most terrifying in
my life. The work which | was doing
confined me to the uttermost corner OF
the vault and when suddenly the lights
were extinguished | thought some
one Of my co-workers was playing a
prank. After calling a number of times
to turn on the lights with no response,
| realized the gravity Of the situation
which confronted me. Ny first i'm
pulse was to run headlong toward the
door Of the vault But this would
have been disastrous as many large
steel cabinets obstructed the path to
the door and would only have resulted
in serious injury. Cropping my way
through the darkness in some manner
which can scarcely explain, | located
the electric light buttons, and imme-
diately turned on the lights. This af-
forded me great relief but my excite
ment only increased, when rushing to
the door | found it refused to open.
At this point believe | would have
become frantic had it not been for my
presence of mind. With all the
strength that | could possibly summon
l kicked the door repeatedly but to no
avail. There was nothing else to do,
SO | continued to kick the door inces-
sanity. | cannot explain the joy that
possessed me when suddenly the vault
door few open and one of my fellow
workers, Frank A. Horan, stood before
me. Mr.. Horan assured me that no
prank had been played on me but that
someone had closed the vault for
safety.

not be conducive to health Because of

A more inclusive and comprehensive

Of style. grandeur OF thought, concise
ness of language and range of facts,
even the Greek historian, Xenophon,
B. G. 434-355, in his Anabasis-"Re-
treat of the Ten Thousand"-would be
at disadvantage to eclipse.
Other artists also distinguished
themselves. Mr. Emmanuel Johnson

dences of music ever produced, per-
haps. by the contact Of fingers with
black and white keys. Mime. Guoarro's

forerunner of the modern opera.
