The
HORN


BY WALTER J. STEVENS

BY WALTER j. STEVENS
One of my pet peeves, and
perhaps it is also yours, is the
auto driver who for no apparent
reason, continuously toots his
horn at everything and every
body. Even if he is a block
away when I cross the street,
he takes peculiar delight in
sending forth his vexatious noise
in my direction. I have noticed
that little school children on the
eros walks will the right of way
are made to scamper by his
blasts. He also toots at traffic
ahead, that he may not be pre-.
vented from jumping tie greey
light.
Similarly there are others
than auto drivers, afflicted with
the disease Of footing their horn.
They belong. to lodges, churches
and organizations, and love to
attend the meetings for the
purpose Of causing strife and
disorder. Many times I have
heard them say, boy, 7 wouldn't
miss that meeting tonight for
anything; it's going to be a hot
one"
Usually his contribution to
make the meeting sizzle, will be
to jump to his feet every few
minutes, and shout at the chair
man Il rise TO a pointof order.
This constitutes the sum total
of his knowledge Of parliament
tary law, but to him it is suf-
f1eient, inasmuch as it causes a
few pairs of eyes to be focused
in his direction, and encourages
a few others with restricted
thinking to follow his example.
Thus we recently had a.
shambles made of the NAACP
meeting held for annual reports
and the election of officers. The
Boston branch, with a member
ship of over $500, had about 300
present when the meeting con-
vened and Of these, not more
than 20-or less than Ills Of
those present-caused the meet
ing's poStponement. These were
the horn tooters whom Profess
sor Boaz, the eminent psychol-
ogist at Columbia, might de-
scribe as cyclists, with no re-
gard for their fellows.
There were no momentous
questions confronting the as
sembly, like the British attitude
on the occupation of Palestine
by the Jews, or whether colored
America should be racially des-
ignated by white press. Rather
everything was elementary, and
needed only straight thinking
and honesty Of purpose to COM
plete the agenda. But the lit
tie recalcitrant group would |
not have it so. They failed to
realize that Boston of itself
cannot detract from the NAACP
organization, which is the great
est of its kind in the world, and
that its personnel and officers
in the national headquarters
and in other branches through
out the country, can in accom-
pliShment and leadership, put
Boston to shame.
Whether in automobiles or in
meetings, we will always find
the horn-tooters making spec
tacles of themselves with their
bad behavior.

O'BanyOun's
Observations

IN pointing out conditions
which I feel should be corrected,
I never mention names, or name
specific instances. AS 1 have
said before, if you care enough
for my opinion of your ability,
come to my studio and will
give you large doses of it. But,
generally speaking, I feel that
the attempt of some teachers,
to put into a pupil that which
isn't there, which was not be
in them, and that to which they
cannot develop, is the cause of
so many mechanical perform
ances which remind me of very
little children reciting lessons
which they have learned from
memory. Consistent with the
days slogan of democracy. the
artist should adopt the slogan
Of relaxation and naturalness.
Consider the success of the bio
timers on screen and radio. and
you can sense what I mean. If
you have it in you, your teacher
If he knows how, can make you
into an easy and convincing
performer. I always say that a
performer who shows train
ing" is washout. You should
be so well trained, you should
have your natural talent so well
emphasized, that your audience
is not conscious Of any inter
mediate steps taken to bring you
to your standard Of perform
ance. The number Of steps taken
to reach certain spot on the
stage, the rigid way in which
you turn from one side to the
other, the way to bow and all
of those points which are usu-
ally drummed into you, cause
you to become a tense machine,
an exponent of your teachers
method, and a virtual pocket
edition Of your teacher. Your
individuality is choked from the
day you enter his studio. They
call me radical and undig1lided
and I am glad they do. When
I face an audience, my mind
is on trying to entertain them.
and not to show how much I
know. We do not all have the
same ability or talent, and we
cannot all reach Symphony
Hall; so why not try to brighten
the corner where you are" and
I feel that you will satisfy more
Of the public, and also yourself.
I do not blame anyone for AHA
ing high, but express trains are
few compared to the locals, and
you must not forget the way
stations. Last, but not least. do
not blame the public if you are
not appreciated as YOU think
you ought to be. The public |
knows what it wants. and they
are the judges. Turn the search
light inwardly, and see if YIN
can find the answer there.
