Guatemalean parrot appearing with
John Wayne in John Fords Argosy
production of the Eugene O,Neill sea
drama, "The Long Voyage Home.
Working with Wayne throughout
the production the parrot was
loaned" to the Walter Wanger Stu
dios under written agreement that
it would be returned to its owner
each night. Consequently at z
o'clock each evening a studio car
pulls up to the 'The Long Voyage
Home" set, waits for Polly and
whisks her home carefully shielded
from drafts and cold. Frequently,
Polly's chauffeur confides, the par
rot has few choice words to say
when suddenly changing street sig
mails demand an abrupt stop or a
rough street crossing causes the
bird cage to bounce around on the
car seat.
Also the driver says Polly, who
refuses to speak Swedish on the set,
can speak the language with con-
siderable distinction when she
chooses-outside the studio. At
least he thinks it's Swedish.

Advice on
Speech
Press Club Members
Get Lesson From
Mrs. Won Hesse

The most pleasing voice is one
that has no "earmarks" of any par
ticular section of the country, Mrs.
Elizabeth Won Hesse of New York,
who is Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt's
speech teacher, said yesterday be-
fore the Women's National Press
Club luncheon meeting at the Will
lard Hotel.
Asked about the Southern accent,
Mrs. Won Hesse tactfully described
it as "lovely to listen to, but difficult
to understand" She was firmly op-
posed to broad AS, declaring there is
no place for them in the American
language.
Her cause" the speaker said, is to
help establish a simple American
language, beautifully spoken and
easily understood"
Mrs. Roosevelt, a member of the
club, was in the audience, which
soon developed into a class" with
members and guests repeating
phrases after Mrs. Won Hesse as she
offered a few exercises designed to
correct speech faults. Mrs. Roose-
welt joined in the exercises and,
following the meeting. made brief
'off-the-record" comment.
Repeating a British charge that
Americans are nation of num-
blers," Mrs. Won Hesse said one of
the principal reasons is because we
are careless listeners. I'VE hear
what our own ears are attuned to"
she commented.
A speaker holds his audience
through melody, she continued, ad-
vocating range of seven or eight
notes Sing when you talk" she
said. And use your higher tones
but judiciously." she warned. Mrs.
Won Hesse earlier had pointed TO
high pitch as one of the American
speech faults.
+ Too rapid speech was listed as
another fault. Frozen upper lips
make distinct articulation difficult
she indicated. and added it's impor-
tant to toss ITS" and "D's."
Ruby Black, club president, in
troduced Mrs. Won Hesse as the
woman who had written Mrs. RoOSe-
welt several years ago. pointing out
one or two things wrong with the
way she talked over the radio and on
the lecture platform. The Presi-
dents wife promptly enrolled as a
student.
Several special guests were intro
duced at the luncheon. among them
Fru Betty Kjelsberg of Norway, who
has been delegate to the League
| of Nations and who has been dec
Grated by her King. Fru Kjelsberg
represented Norway at the San
Francisco Fair and is now lecturing.
Nine. de Morgenstierne, wife of
the Minister of Norway, and Mrs.
Paul v. McNutt also were present.
